A Most Successful Workshop!

After a year of planning, the QC SnB workshop (co-sponsored by The Yarn Shoppe), we finally greeted our instructor Beth Brown-Reinsel on August 3rd and 4th!

You can read her blog, here.

And our participants had a great time - in fact, such a great time, that we've only photos of the first class of the two-day workshop. (My appreciation and thanks to Barb, for her photographic skills!)

Here are some folks (Ann Marie is on the far left, you other two ladies give us a shout out in the comments section!) working on those beautiful mittens:

And these two, while I wouldn't say were trying to pull a fast one on us, show us some lovely work, Laurel and Lynn:

Beth, thank you for a great workshop! Everyone had a wonderful time during the workshop and at the events before and after the time in class to meet you.

Once again, my heartfelt gratitude to Barb, Claire, Laurel, and Brenda for their help. I had serious health issues that prevented my attendance and their support helped to make a smooth running workshop. Ladies, as you know, y'all rock!

For those persons out there that may be thinking of putting on a workshop, we can't recommend Beth enough to you. A generous, kind, thoughtful, and patient instructor - she's wonderful with beginners to advanced knitters.
