Thank you so much to everyone who came out to newly and awesomely renovated Musquodoboit Harbour Public Library for our Shawl in a Ball LIVE workshop. We had familiar faces along with new faces, and we also had library patrons wander in to see what we were up to! I always find it inspiring to spend time with such a creative group of people.
We'd love to have a few of these workshops scattered throughout the year, so watch this space regularly, and let us know in the comments below if you have any ideas for things we could cover in a future get together.
And speaking of workshops, The Island (PEI) Knitters Club has announced the 2018 Maritime Machine Knitters Seminar. This year's seminar will be held at the Rodd Royalty Inn in Charlottetown on the 28th and 29th of September. Diana Sullivan of Austin, Texas, will be this year's demonstrator. If you are not familiar with Diana, there is a link to her blog, Diana Natters On About Machine Knitting to the right on our blog page. She has a very extensive collection of videos on her YouTube channel that I highly recommend. For more information on the seminar and how to register, please visit the information page on the Glen Valley Knits website.
Finally, a little "Knitting in the News" - for those of you who might be fans of Marvel Comics, the recent blockbuster movie "Black Panther" has the knitting world buzzing. Check out "Nakia's Infinity Scarf" on Ravely, a free pattern in both machine and hand knit made available by the costume designer himself, Jeff Gillies, and also check out this BuzzFeed article on the movie and the shawl.
