2024 was a busy one for private lessons and hosted events thanks to my dedicated fans and the success of Cozy Coastal Knits. I don’t post private events here so if you do want to schedule one or attend one in 2025, fill out my contact sheet here: https://firstbytedesigns.com/contact/

Well it has been busy year so what’s up for 2025? We’ll see. I’ll be working on a yarn bombing with ArtWellesley and one with the Medfield Cultural Council. I’ll be teaching for Jimmy Beans, WEBS, Stitch Source, North Fork Fiber and of course The Unruly Stitch. What would you like me to do in 2025? Drop me a note and lets see what we can do! https://firstbytedesigns.com/contact/

Upcoming classes and events:

April 28th at 7pm Eastern time – Another virtual class, I’ll be back at Jimmy Beans Wool – Crochet Hat in the Round – Very few simple pleasures in life are as easy as putting on a hat whether to guard against the cold, provide comfort or simply to add a splash of color to one’s wardrobe. Come along with me on this two hour adventure as we explore how to crochet a hat in the round. We’ll use a few stitches you already know, the double crochet, half double, and chain stitches all make an appearance in this project just in a different direction and by positioning the hook to pull up your stitches in unexpected locations. This is the perfect opportunity to pick up that precious skein of hand dyed DK weight yarn you have been eyeing on the Jimmy Beans website!

May 6th -9th – H+H Americas has asked me to showcase my collection on their Fashion Boulevard and to have one of my designs walk the runway during the one and only trade show in the United States dedicated to the fiber arts. While the show is only to the trade, you can take a look at the look book and follow me to learn more. If you are in the trade, I am happy to offer you a free ticket to attend the show, just drop me a line
