You’ve Got Snippets: July 15, 2023
Dear knitter,
Welcome to your Saturday!
Have you heard the news? In August, Olga Buraya-Kefelian will be leading a virtual workshop on her fabulous Sei Cowl. We’d love to have you with us for this very special experience.
Guided by Olga, one of the most engaging teachers we know, we’ll learn to make the Sei Cowl, a gorgeous project that opens up Olga’s world of graphic slipped-stitch patterns. You’ll leave the workshop inspired, holding the keys to a fascinating kingdom.
Like all MDK virtual workshops, this one will be deluxe, complete with a beautiful box of needfuls and want-fuls. We’ll gather on August 18, 2023, from noon–3 Eastern time, on Zoom.
For all the juicy details, and to reserve your spot, click here.
