In this workshop you will learn how to create a one-of-a-kind, 14” x 14” cushion cover primarily using the yarn in your stash. Lisa Shobhana Mason, author of Yarnplay and Yarnplay At Home, will teach you how to:

• Work with color.
• Make the best use of the leftover strands and skeins that you have in your stash.
• Use your intuition combined with your personal taste to create a unique project.
• Work loosely from a template rather than strictly following a pattern.

Skill Level: Intermediate

You should know how to cast on, knit, purl, pick up stitches, mattress stitch, and bind off.

Yarnplay blog tour

i managed to get 2 pics at the Hill Country Weavers book signing before my camera battery died. i am so crazy busy that it may be months before i can get out on a proper book tour. the good news is that the Yarnplay blog tour will soon be coming to a blog or two near you. expect wacky q & a, tutorials, and lots of fun! stay tuned for dates and locations.

tours, and podcasts, and trunk shows! oh my!

the latest podcast from Knitty D and The City features an interview with yours truly! Wendy and I talk about the book and my favorite project and favorite yarns and about not taking your knitting too seriously.

if you happen to be in the neighborhood of Austin, TX i'll be signing books and showing off some of the projects from Yarnplay this Sunday, October 8th from 11 am - 1 PM at Hill Country Weavers. bring your knitting and come hang out! if i seem a bit standoffish you should keep in mind that i'm a little bit shy and definitely uncomfortable with talking about myself. however, i'd be more than happy to take part in a conversation that's all about you!
