Reserve time for my series of three, 3-hour workshops, taught at your yarn shop, retreat, or guild meetings, based on the techniques I developed for A Head For Trouble. This hat-making “boot camp” teaches knitters:
- proper measuring to ensure a correct fit on each student for each hat style,
- clear and detailed instructions for creating shaped hat brims in several flattering styles,
- knitted flower and leaf embellishments (includes beading) to make each hat unique.
Please contact me at julieATjulieturjomanDOTcom for further information and to schedule workshops for your LYS, Guild, or Knitting Retreat.
The beautiful, vintage-inspired accessory projects in A Head For Trouble make wonderful gifts for friends and family. Extra details and designer touches make these hats, scarves, and fingerless mitts truly special.
LYS Owners: Do you and your customers love the projects in A Head For Trouble and Knits That Breathe? Now you have the opportunity to host a trunk show at your shop, featuring the projects from the books. Combine a trunk show with a book signing if your shop is located within a 2-hour drive of Chicago. Create a kit or start a KAL to promote your shop’s special yarns. Let’s discuss the possibilities!
Please contact Julie if you would like to host a Head For Trouble or Knits That Breathe trunk show and/or book signing at your LYS.
Also available: a 6-hour, 2-part workshop based on the techniques I developed for my book Knits That Breathe: 12 Breezy Projects to Keep You Cool.
Air-Conditioning Your Knits – How to Make Cool and Breathable Garments When Life Is Too Hot to Handle
This workshop takes the “sweat” out of sweater! Climate change, hot flashes, or sensitivity to wool and other animal fibers can make heavy sweaters uncomfortable, and knitters are ready to explore different options. A perfect workshop for knitters who enjoy thinking outside the box! This workshop teaches knitters:
- to understand the properties of, and get comfortable working with, plant-based and other alternative fibers.
- to create a basic tunic, and then strategically add lace and openwork elements that provide “air conditioning.”
- to add shaping and drape to a basic tunic that encourages air flow for maximum cooling benefits.
