We are so excited to welcome Kate Oates, author, instructor, and designer of Tot Toppers Designs, to our shop.  Kate is visiting from South Carolina as part of her mini-teaching tour and Stitches West experience.  
Math for Hats with Kate

A few spaces are still available in both classes, and we also are displaying Kate's adorable "Topped for A Year" and "Topped for Another Year" trunk shows through February 22.  

In case you want more social time with Kate after attending one or both of her classes, or if you aren't able to attend the classes, join us for a complimentary Meet and Greet event with Kate on Monday evening.

While first recognized for her adorable Tot Toppers kid's patterns, Kate has also designed a line of modern adult patterns called When I Grow Up.  We can't wait to talk with Kate and learn more about her inspirations, her processes, and how she balances designing, teaching, and her adorable family.

Join us on Monday, February 22 for one or more of these engaging and creative events:
In addition to this wonderful opportunity to learn from Kate, we also have space available in the two additional "Your First Favorite Sweater" cohorts, added recently.  Join us on this customized sweater adventure!  And Save the dates for our first Immersion Weekend Workshop with Sultana Charania, where we'll learn techniques for customizing sweater patterns to fit our unique bodies.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
