Happy summer! I’m excited to be teaching a virtual DELICIOUS DOGS workshop with Modern Daily Knitting during this summer’s dog days (or close enough)—August 15th!

Join me in making a cute and classic little hot doggie in this 2.5-hour online workshop. Don’t forget the mustard! We’ll cover all the tiny toy knitting basics: Knitting in the round with a small circumference on double-pointed needles, I-cord appendages for teeny legs, picking up and knitting stitches for the flappy ears, and simple embroidery for the features. Plus, a bit of mattress stitch to seam your dog’s bun halves together.

And this workshop comes with a kit to make three delicious dogs, including my ice cream doggie and doggie slider!

See the MDK website for all the details and registration.

I hope to see you and your dogs there!

The Vogue Knitting Live skyscrapers made a personal appearance at the NYC show’s art gallery last weekend, walking a runway, posing in an art gallery, buying all the yarn possible, playing in a yarn ball pit, etc, etc!

It was fun to bring the props from the videos out to let these guys play IRL as their animations—all TWELVE of them—played on a monitor nearby.

(These are the first six—I still need to upload the rest to YouTube.)

My classes were also a ton of fun—I hope those who took them would agree! We made unicorns together and tiny knitted versions of ourselves and our favorite people. This was honestly the first time I felt (almost) totally relaxed about teaching and just enjoyed it. (The document camera on my hands with the footage projected on a screen helped a lot.)

Thank you to everyone who took my classes, who bought stuff from me, who checked out my little diorama, and who said hello in their gorgeous hand-knitted and -crocheted outfits. And thank you to the people of VKL!

You can see a little reel with videos and more photos of cool stuff from the show on my Instagram.

Vogue knitting LIVE is returning to NYC in January 2025! I was excited to be asked to spread the word with the help of some animated skyscrapers. These little videos have been appearing on the Vogue Knitting social accounts and in their newsletters. With more to come!

I’ll also be teaching at this event! Here are the classes I’m offering:

🦄🌈✨ Tiny Toy Knitting Basics: Unicorns and Rainbows
In this class, we’ll knit a tiny unicorn together, covering all the techniques from start to finish: knitting on double-pointed needles, I-cord legs and horn, and embroidering a magical mane and tail. We’ll also go over how to use mattress stitch to shape knitted tubes into a little rainbow, so your unicorn can have a friend! This is a great class to start with if you’re new to knitting toys, tiny toys, or circular knitting. The simple unicorn body can also be turned into all sorts of four-legged creatures!

👨🏻👩🏽🤷‍♀️ Knit a Tiny You (or Anybody)
In this *all new* project-oriented class, we’ll start with a basic pattern for a 1”-3”-tall human, then go into all kinds of ways you can customize it to create individuals representing yourself, your friends, your favorite celebs and characters—anything that walks on two legs! Techniques that we’ll cover include I-cord and circular knitting, shaping through basic increase and decrease stitches, embroidery, color work, needle felting, and anything else that might come up through participants’ interests.

I’ll probably also be displaying my artwork and vending at the marketplace. It’s gonna be a big weekend!

Registration is now open at the Vogue Knitting website. See you there!
