Anne Parker created this lovely pillow from Berroco's Origami

A class will be offered during the week of the American Birkie in pillow making.  Anne Parker has created a book which describes how to choose the backing, filling, putting in zippers, etc.

On the same day that Anne is here, David Grote, a raiser of Icelandic sheep will be here demonstrating spinning, and have his beautiful wool for sale.  Anne has used David's wool almost exclusively for her pillows.

Ruth Kenworthy is a dedicated knitter and chooses patterns that many would stay away from.  It is hard to tell from the picture, but the sweater below is in a Berroco Vintage Wool brown and is a cable sweater.  Ruth will always pick the patterns that are the most intricate, and the work is perfect every time, or she won't quit until it is.  We have had several of Ruth's creations on display and they always sell yarn.

This darling baby sweater in pink acrylic was knitted by Noreen Doering from Pound of Love by Lion Brand.  There is a lot you can do with 1020 yds in one package.  You could get a sweater and a baby blanket!  Noreen is one of our instructors and she's knit hundreds of hats for charity.

This poncho was made by Me (Joan) from Berroco's Worsted Comfort.  I found the pattern on the internet from Tahki Stacy Charles from the Terra Collection.  I did some changes to the pattern.  The Comfort is great to knit with as it produces wonderful stitch definition.
