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!

Chicago Friends! Here I am realistically posing in front of The Bloomin’ Spindle, in real life, with my real new book. Come see me here on Sunday 11/26 at 11am for a book signing and trunk show! I’ll be hanging out until 2pm or so with books, cat kits, and probably some cat animations too.

If you haven’t visited The Bloomin’ Spindle, it’s a gem of a yarn store and well worth the trip from wherever you are.

Hope to see you there!
