CLOSED Fiberside Chats: ARNE & CARLOS September 12th

This is a one time Live ZOOM event on Saturday September 12 at 1 PM Eastern, 12 PM Central, 11 AM MTN, 10 AM Pacific 

Catch-up with ARNE & CARLOS!

It was almost a year ago (already!) that ARNE & CARLOS toured North America. Many of us had the good fortune (and fun!) of meeting them in person for lectures and workshops. We’re all a bit grounded for now but that won’t keep us from Zooming to Norway to catch-up with our old friends! Let’s find out what they’ve been up to currently and take the opportunity to revisit their book 55 Christmas Balls to Knit for its 10^th Anniversary. We’ll get an insider look at techniques used to create the festive motifs as demonstrated by ARNE & CARLOS!

We invite you to continue the fun by participating in a Christmas Ball KAL with the yarn shop/shops of your choosing!!  

Some of the collaborating yarn shops are hosting Knit A Longs for the Christmas Balls.  Those shops that are confirmed as hosting KALS include:  Longmont Yarn Shoppe, 3 Kittens
