Courtney and I spent last weekend at the Nordic Knitting Conference held at the Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle. We planned the trip with friends Jaime Jennings and Karen Templer, and scheduled our time around learning as much as humanly possible about the history, craft traditions, and techniques of the (widely disparate) people who fall…

Kelbourne Woolens at VK Live Minneapolis!
This November, I will be headed to Minneapolis to teach three classes at Vogue Knitting Live! I’ll be flying solo on this trip, as Kate stays home to hold down the fort at one of our busiest times of year. I’ll be teaching some of our all time favorite classes, and they are all color…

It is hard to believe it, but fall is almost here! As I type this, I’m cosied up at my desk in my Fable cardigan and some shearling slippers, and couldn’t be happier! While we take the summer off from teaching/traveling, our fall + winter schedule is in full swing and we have lots of…

Our first trip brings us to Washington state to attend VK Live and teach two classes on April 4th…
NENA
NENA is the New England Needlework Association’s annual trade show in Sturbridge, Mass. A regional trade show, NENA gives us the opportunity to connect more personally with the shop owners and employees in the New England region. It is also special because it is a cash-and-carry show, meaning we can create specialty products and kits…

What’s more, we’ll be a little closer to home at the New England event from October 4th-7th, and are slated to teach through the…

While we were at Vermilion, the Fibre Space staff was hard at work setting…
