Fiber Fest of New England 2014

[Bailey4]

I am going for the first time this year and I found out today I am going to be able to take the Tunisian Workshop!!!  The festival takes place at the Big E in Springfield, MA November 1-2.

 

If you live in the area there are lots of places offering bus trips for Saturday if you don't want to drive.  I signed up with Assabet School's Adult Ed program in Marlborough and the Woolpack LYS in Acton is also offering a bus.  I'm sure there are others offering buses as well if you are interested.

 

We are always talking about getting a larger crochet presence at these events, so I thought I'd post this and see if we can get the word out.

 

You can find more information at their website here.

Have fun and enjoy your class.

My bus got cancelled do to lack of interest, but thankfully I was able to sign up with the LYS that is having one.

What a wonderful day.  We are always being told Crochet classes don't sell, well the Tunisian one filled to capacity and the teacher was AMAZING!!  I loved the class and would love to take a longer more in depth one at some point if I can find one closer to home.  It made such a difference having a human to ask questions of when I hit the same spots I've reached before and no matter how many videos I watched I couldn't get past the challenge I was having.  What a wonderful day.

 

The festival vendors were primarily devoted to knitters, spinners, and felters, but I did get a few crochet items and I made sure to thank those vendors that had what I bought.  I left a note with the organizers thanking them for an excellent Tunisian class and telling them I'd be back if they offered more crochet classes next year.
