I have been keeping myself quite busy this Christmas!  One hat done, one sweater in the finishing stages and just beginning another sweater!  I think I might finish before Christmas this year!  This might be the first year - ever...

I am excited to give these out this year.  I think the recipients will really like them!  

I am happy to announce that I am now teaching knitting at Hancock Fabrics in Carmel!  I am offering 2 classes to start out.  Learn to knit is a 2 session class to make the Green Garter cowl and hat on Thursday, September 25th and October 2nd 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  We will learn how to cast on, knit, purl, and bind off.  The second class builds on the first.  We will work on a Water Bottle Carrier. In this class, we will learn how to build on our skills learned in the first class and incorporate knitting in the round and lace pattern.  This is a one session class on October 16th at 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm.  I am super excited for these new classes and they should be a ton of fun!  Sign up today!

I took the plunge!  I opened my very own Etsy shop as another avenue to sell patterns.  https://www.etsy.com/shop/Claireknitsdotcom?ref=pr_shop_more
My store is claireknitsdotcom. 
Come on over and check it out!

I had a blast at Gen Con again this year!  I offered 6 classes and met a ton of super people!  Just look how hard they are working on their Knittin' Kitten Mittens!  If you are interested in my patterns offered at Gen Con this year - they will be posted soon!  Keep checking back!

I also got to meet Anna & Elsa....

and Emmett!

Here are a couple of the cables we will learn in the "Master Class - Cables" class at Gen Con.  They are super fun and definitely a challenge!  We will be moving stitches all over the place! 

When you take my MLP class at Gen Con, you can choose between Rarity, Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy for your very own mini purse!  These are a quick knit and a great introduction to knitting with color. All you need to know for this class is how to cast on, knit stitch, purl stitch and bind off.  Looking forward to meeting you!

My Little Pony purse is here!  You can make Rarity, Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie into your own purse.  Use it to carry your phone, Gen Con credentials or anything else you would like!  It is the perfect marriage between knitting and MLP!  It would be a great gift for all of your favorite Bronies or My Little Pony fans!  I'll be teaching this class at Gen Con on Saturday, August 16.  Check out the Gen Con page for more information.

goes live on Sunday!  Sign in and sign up to learn how to knit, polish up your skills or learn new techniques!  I am offering classes for the beginner, "Knit your own Wizard beard" to advanced master class in cables.  Check out the Gen Con tab for more information.  This year is going to be the best year yet!!

I am going to be teaching a 3 session knitting class for the Community Learning Network at IUPUI!  I am so excited!  We will be making this cute little lacy shrug.  The classes are on Tuesdays, April 22, April 29 and May 6th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm.  Be sure to sign up and make this cute shrug for those spring nights when you just need a little something to keep warm.  https://www.cln.iupui.edu/apps/catalog/index.asp?site=IUPUI  My class is under the Personal Interest tab.
