My big news is that I will be teaching a series of courses at our farmhouse beginning this August. Inspired by other book authors including Patricia Wells, Susan Hermann Loomis, Ricki Carroll, Denyse Schmidt, Joel Salatin and Natalie Chanin, The Farmer and I have decided to open our home and my studio up to a very small number of students. It's going to be really fun (if not a whole heck of a lot of work to prepare for). We're going to try to give all the students a real taste of farm life along with some great knitting instruction.
You can read all about it on my new descriptional blog/website - link below.

Spread the word for me! If these fly, I'll be adding more to the schedule. I can guarantee you a memory you will keep for the rest of your life! As my mom says "Kristin, this place just is like no other."
Wow! This is such a great opportunity! Thanks for opening your home, I know it will be inspiring for so many! Best of luck.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!! i would LOVE something like that -- especially since it includes a taste of farm life too. Since it's not practical for me to actually come, I sure hope you'll be sharing some photos!
ReplyDeletelovely! shame i'm on the wrong continent...
ReplyDeleteOh! That sounds like so much fun! I wish I weren't all the way across the country. I think some very lucky knitters are going to have a wonderful experience.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your sunflower fields inspired me to plant a sunflower garden this year. Here's hoping for gorgeous flowers! :)
oh, I wish I lived closer. This would be a great thing to attend.
ReplyDeleteIt seems all your early commenters are regretting that, like me, they live too far away to take advantage of this great opportunity! Never mind, there are plenty of East Coast knitters and stitchers who will love to visit the farm and learn from you in person. Best wishes,

Oh how I wish I lived closer to The Farm!
ReplyDeleteMy friend hosts such classes--she's in Guilford-- www.otterpondbindery.com She offers beautiful bookbinding classes. It's one of my children's favorite places in the world.

I so can't do that this year but

I know what's going on my Christmas list for next year ;)
Have a ball lady!
Oh bummer...I'm in SoCal maybe I can work my planning better next year!
ReplyDeleteSounds great and I am very interested but I am a beginner knitter - is it open to beginners?
ReplyDeleteKristin we must be channeling each other...I just told someone the other day that my goal was to get an invite to Kristin Nicholas' home so I could check it out! In a good way only...not meant to be creepy, honest. :)
