World Wide Spin In Public Day...In Portland!
Ok folks! Those of you in the Portland, Oregon area tomorrow, stop by Opulent Fibers new studio and spin some yarn with me! I'll be spinning there at 10-2pm and will be offering free help and techniques. It might rain, but whatever man! The new studio space is HUGE and has a great new loading dock window door that we can open and still be inside! So grab some warm coffee and a spinning wheel and come spin with me! I'm pretty sure afterwards I'll have to head over to snuggle those baby goats that are in the SE! I love Portland.

Updates on My Schedule!
I can tell fall is approaching when I start hearing from more people about doing things with my hats! Love it! So I heard from my friend, Laura, from Hierapparel about putting my hats in a wearable art fashion event at a tattoo parlor/art gallery in Seattle! Um, yes please!
I'm also gearing up for World Wide Spin in Public Day in Portland! I'll be spinning around 10am, Saturday the 21st, at Opulent Fibers brand spankin' new studio space at the corner of SE 11th and SE Division in Portland. I went and checked it out the other day and it's HUGE! There's super high ceilings, a space for Kristy (the owner and creator of Opulent Fibers) to pack orders, a store front area, AND a space for workshops! Not to mention the brand new glass loading dock door they just put on! I'm stoked to be able to be involved with Kristy now!! Oh wait....I think I got off track a bit. Oh yeah, WWSIPD! So I'll be there's around 10am to spin yarn and to help anyone that wants to come over and spin with me! Please come out! There's also a great coffee shop across the street....best vegan brownie EVER...I mean, coffee....good coffee :) That Sunday (22nd), I'll be teaching a freeform crochet headband class at Opulent Fibers and you can sign up on the website! It's only $45 and it's 10-1pm. You can use all of that art yarn you spun up with me the previous day!
I also just found out that I'll be joining a trunk show at Opulent Fibers on October 2nd. It will be my hats along with another fiber artist who does amazing felted work (I need to get the info on that artist still). So stay tuned for more information about THAT.
Ok, so I need to get to crocheting, been so busy doing everything else! Canning, blogging about food, planning workshops....it's definitely the time of year for harvesting and food preserving! I mustn't forget the hat making!!

oh look! a new hat!
Found a hat I forgot to list! Message me on facebook or email me at girlwithahook@gmail.com if you're interested...$90. This is my own hand dyed and spun merino wool along with mixed wools from the lovely Wooldancer!
almost to 1000!
I'm at 980 likes on my Girl with a Hook facebook page! I'm thinking 20 more likes and I might just have to send someone a headband! Just sayin'.

oh just a 3.5 year break...no biggie.
SO, it's been over 3 years since I've blogged, woops! If you follow me on facebook at all, you might have noticed I've been lacking in the new hat posting department. I've been super busy tending to my new chickens, canning billions of pounds of fruit, actually reading books, and something super cool....planning workshops! YEP! I'll still be making hats, of course, but I will also now be teaching! If you go to my website, you'll see all of my workshop descriptions and the schedule that is changing all the time. I'm pretty stoked for some of these! I'll be in Connecticut in March and Maryland in May! I've never been to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival and am pretty excited to finally get to that. I won't be vending ( well not totally), but I will be teaching at the lovely Arlene's (Spin Artiste) new studio.
OOOO....so World Wide Spin in Public Day is coming up Sept. 21st! I'll be spinning yarn at the new Opulent Fibers studio and will be available for free spinning help, advice, critiques, and just for some company! That Sunday (the 22nd), I'll be doing a freeform crochet headband/neck wrap workshop for $45 for those interested. The link to Opulent Fibers says my workshop is the 7th and 8th, but it's really just the 22nd. We changed it :)
As for what I'll be teaching at various places, I'm doing lots of different combos. Some consist of spinning art yarn that will turn into a freeform crochet headband and/or neck wrap. I'll also have just freeform crochet classes as well for those that don't spin yarn. I'm trying to make it so it's not a giant pain in the butt for most people. When I teach in Maryland, it will be one day of workshops. This will allow people to take one or two classes and not have to drive back and forth a bunch or get a hotel room. The goal is to get people to want to freeform! it's amazing how many people are seriously nervous to do it! I find it's very freeing and liberating to break away from the pattern and not worry about making mistakes.
I'm not even going to proof read this post....so I hope it makes sense and I didn't confuse anyone! So yeah, check out my workshop schedule for details and stay tuned for more details later on!
