woild traveller?

You know that jewelery class I'm taking? The one where I can't tell you what I'm making?

Well, I had a makeup session on the weekend [I'll have to miss the last class because I'll be out of town] and the surprise thingy came along very well! I promise to blog it once it's been delivered, with love, to its intended recipient.

I just wanted to say that, like with knitting, sometimes you need to walk away from the project for a few days and then skills you didn't have somehow magically appear and you're better at the same thing you sucked at just a few days ago.

Is good.

Speaking of being out of town, you know I'm going to be teaching classes in a new part of the US, yes? I'll be in Albuquerque, NM, on June 15 & 16, and in Minneapolis, MN, on June 19 & 20th. I think there might be a few spots left -- you'll need to check with the shops to see if they can fit you in. Deets here.

Okay, this last one is a stunner. It's starting to look very much like I may be in Norway [hence the flag at the top of this post] for the last part of October. Teaching classes and giving the No Sheep lecture. Stuff like that. It's all pretty shocking to me and very exciting!

Since I just might be in the vicinity around October 25th, I wondered if anyone has a shop and would like me to teach. Sweden, Denmark, the UK, France? I don't know when I'll be across the ocean again and it seems like a such a great opportunity to meet with knitters and spread the No Sheepy love and talk Knitty until the oxen come home! If you've got a shop or work with a guild and you'd like to see if we can make this happen, please write me at amy A.T. amysinger D0T ca and I'll send you more details.

What the heck, eh? It feels strange asking, but life is short and nothing happens unless you make it happen. :-)

Come to Norway!
i´m making all my friends vote for norway!
 
rock on sister! Nothing happens unless you make it happen.. I believe that!
 
I just wanted to thank Amy for the link to The Sweet Sheep. (Had to catch up from the holiday weekend)I see a Berry Seasilk "Tuscany" in my future!
 
Congrats! Norway is beautiful! We were ther two years ago. Saw the fjords and stayed in Bergen and Oslo. Make sure you visit Dale while you're there and check out the "to die for" knitted goods by Solveig Hisdal, author of Poetry in Stitches. Definitely drool-worthy!
 
no, it's great you ask! I hope several countries take you up on it. That is such a cool idea.
 
You are going to laugh but I couldnt find your web address on your site, I am sure it is easy. What is your address? I will send pics for you soon.

Make sure you visit Theresa!

Though, end of October? That means no Rhinebeck!!
 
Nope, no Rhinebeck this year. If all goes well, I'll be going to Soar instead! Still waiting to hear if I got in.

I figured it was time to get some solid spinning instruction so that i can really appreciate all the beautiful rovings I see at Rhinebeck.

and Karen...if all goes well, I'll be seeing a LOT of Theresa. :-)
 
Is it wrong to stuff the kids in the car, and drive 9 hours to come see you?
 
If you'd come to Finland, I'd so be there. :D (I'll also be secretly bitter that you're coming so close but probably not here.)
 
Hi there, Michelle from Stash in London, UK here. Heard you might be in town over the summer, we would love to have you in! You can email me at stashyarnsatyahoo.co.uk

I was just about to write a message to ask you to come to my LYS Stash Yarns in London, but I see Michelle got there first!

Please come to Stash! You'll love the knitters who meet there as many of us are obsessed with Seasilk!
 
WHOOHOOHOOHOOHOOOWHOOHOO!!!!!
 
HEY! And Switzerland? Why not Switzerland? Damn. I don't have a yarn shop.
 
how about a side trip to Ireland, eh?
