I am thrilled to announce that I will be teaching a short session on writing knitting patterns for publication as part of Shetland Wool Week.
My class is called Making a Knitting Career - Part 1, and even more exciting is that Kate Davies is teaching Part 2. I'll be running you through how to take a basic design idea and write it up for publication. I'll also be covering some of the most common pitfalls and how to avoid them. Kate's class covers how to prepare your designs and sell them through Ravelry. Having not self-published on Ravelry, I'm a bit tempted to sign up for that class myself!
Both sessions take place on Monday 8th October 2012 at Jamieson & Smith in Lerwick, Shetland, and you can book by telephoning them on 01595 693579.

Other delights of the week include: A number of sessions on Shetland Lace taught by Gudrun Johnston (how I wish I was going to be there long enough to do some of those classes!), a session on Susan Crawford's research for her Vintage Shetland collection (I'm concerned that I will need to make every garment in this collection, and there just aren't enough hours in the day!), and much, much more.
