A new conference

Last year was my first year at Stitches West, and it was intense. Since then, I've discovered that while I am glad I know how to knit, it's really not my thing. Fortunately, there seems to be another conference coming up in April 2010 that's right up my alley: the Conference of Northern California Handweavers. This is a conference that focuses on weaving and spinning, two activities I enjoy much more than knitting.

Sunday was day one of early bird registration, and I was there with my laptop just waiting for my chance to get in to my first choice classes. I even enabled a friend who was over visiting to get registered since she had forgotten to do it before she left her house!

I'm probably going overboard with my classes, but really, when don't I go overboard with my fiber arts??? Here's my list:

Friday:
Fiber: The Inspiration for Planning a Warp
Heather Winslow
CC156 6 hour class

Saturday:
Custom Fit and Fabulous
Daryl Lancaster
CC325 6 hour class

Sunday:
Weaving TNT: Dynamite Tips ’n Tricks
Robyn Spady
C542 3 hour class

That gives me a class on weaving warps, clothing design, and weaving repair and efficiencies. I thought about taking some more classes with Judith Mackenzie McCuin, but since I'll have her for a week in March, I figured I would branch out a bit and discover additional teachers.

Leave a comment as to whether you're going to CNCH and what classes you'll be taking!
