We are excited to have Laura Zukaite (Luxe Knits) and Kay Gardiner (Mason Dixon Knitting) as guest instructors this month at La Casita.  Who better to help you navigate the ins and outs of a pattern than the designers themselves?  Come rub elbows and learn some new techniques from two of our industry's gurus!

Luxe Knits Accessories cabled belt


If you missed Laura at this past Saturday's book signing, here is another chance to be inspired by this rising star.  Learn how to make the gorgeous cabled belt from Luxe Knits: The Accessories in this 3-hour workshop.  A perfect Spring/Summer accessory, the belt can be layered over t-shirts, tank tops, and summery dresses to add a couture adornment to any look. 

You will learn how to cable without a cabling needle as Laura walks us through the construction of this fabulous design.  The price of the workshop is $50.00, or you can purchase the workshop plus Luxe Knits: The Accessories book together for a discounted price of $65.00.

Mason Dixon Knitting Mitered Crosses Blanket


The founders of Mason Dixon Knitting have been offering stories, patterns, advice, opinions, questions, answers, jokes, and pictures with a give 'em hell spirit for a number of years now.  They are also known for popularizing log cabin knitting, a wonderfully simple, flexible, and modern take on classic quilting techniques. 

Kay Gardiner's Mitered Crosses Blanket has been literally sweeping the planet, with 2,700 copies of the pattern already sold on Ravelry, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Mercy Corps' Japan's earthquake/tsunami relief efforts.  In this workshop, Kay will preach the techniques of log cabin and mitering while walking you through her enormously popular Mitered Crosses Blanket pattern.  The $50.00 fee includes a copy of pattern as well as a copy of the first Mason Dixon Knitting book.  In addition to the proceeds of the pattern, La Casita will also be donating a portion of the workshop fee to the Mercy Corps.
