Event highlights

Instructor Highlight - Amy Manko

View link

Amy Ross Manko travels the country (and now the world) teaching, researching and writing about her favorite topic - Rare Breed Sheep! When she’s not on the road, spreading the gospel of critically endangered livestock, she’s at home on her historic farm raising 11 breeds of heritage and rare breed sheep, as well as cattle, draft horses, mini-donkeys and poultry. She is the owner of Ross Farm Fibers Inc and provides love and shelter to homeless fiber equipment.

Instructor Highlight - Brian Cooley

Brian Cooley’s fiber “story” is a true example of the value of SVFF training classes, after he started coming to SVFF to support his future wife (Festival Chair Bethany).  Each year, Bethany would sign Brian up for a class to help fill classes and fill his schedule so he would not be bored, but the one class that really took was crochet.  Since that 2-hour course, Brian has been an active hobby crocheter and has now started teaching beginning crochet in different venues, and has recently added courses on how to build grid level patterns that will work for common techniques like corner to corner crochet.  Brian’s biggest flaw is he is bad about posting pictures to his Ravelry account after completing a project.

If you’ve ever made a cabled scarf or blanket, you know how it is only partly satisfying. One side is an array of beautiful cables, and the other side is obviously the wrong side. What if there was a way to make both sides good without resorting to double-knitting? But there is! This class will cover simple reversible cables as well as ribbles and twists. Alas! These tricks don’t work for all types of cables; but we will look at when they can and can’t be applied. There is no materials fee. Student minimum age: 12 Bring: homework swatch in class yarn (smooth, non-splitting, light or bright or medium color) needles to work that yarn in ribbing cable needle a pin for marking the right side of your work Directions for homework swatch are here: https://jolieaelder.blogspot.com/p/easy-reversible-cables-homework.html Skills needed: know how to knit and purl, 1×1 and 2×2 ribbing and already know how to cable

Weave your heart! Learn to weave freestyle and free-spirited on a simple floor loom. Honor your own inner sense of beauty and truth as you play with color, texture, and technique, and come away with a unique piece of woven art that reflects your creative spirit (yes, you absolutely do have one!). Students will learn the basic skills of freestyle weaving on a highly approachable, easy-to-use two-harness floor loom. The class will emphasize play, experimentation, and individual exploration of color and texture in the service of personal expression; a few simple weaving techniques will be taught along the way. Students will take home what they weave. Students just need to bring their willingness to experiment and explore--and to practice imperfection! Materials cost covers: Use of warped SAORI loom; use of associated tools (shuttles, bobbins, etc.); access to and use of a wide variety of different weaving materials, including yarn in various fibers, colors, and textures, embroidery floss, fabric scraps, fiber, trim, beads, wire, Mylar, etc. Each student will also get a bag of fibery treasures to keep; they can be used in class, in a future weaving, or both. And of course, students will take home whatever they weave! Materials fees are included in the cost of registration. No participant-provided materials required: instructor will provide all tools and materials. Students just need to bring their willingness to experiment and explore--and to practice imperfection! That said, if students want to bring something personally meaningful to them to incorporate into their weaving if possible, they're welcome--indeed, encouraged--to do so. Some past examples: specialty paper, pieces of jewelry (this is a fun use for unmatched earrings), student's handspun yarn (handspun of all sorts weaves up wonderfully), dyed or undyed fiber, leftover quantities of treasured yarn too small to knit or crochet a finished item with. No homework prior to class. Indeed, no previous experience with weaving required (though experienced weavers are as welcome as complete novices). Class is truly intended to be open to anyone who wants to try freestyle weaving, from the experienced weaver to the person who’s never even touched a loom before.

Skill level is advanced. Prerequisite: Must have experience with mitered squares. Must know how to work a double decrease (three stitches become one) and a double increase (one stitch becomes three). If you have never made mitered squares, please make the two optional homework swatches (directions here), which are a decreasing mitered square and an increasing mitered square. Know how you like to use markers so you can reliably work a double decrease or a double increase without the line "drifting." What you will learn: how to plan a labyrinth project how to knit a right-turning labyrinth how to knit a left-turning labyrinth how to join it all together tips and tricks for keeping track as you work Students receive a handout in booklet form and the patterns for Twist & Turn Cube and Zig-Zag Cube. There is no materials fee. Student minimum age: 12 Bring: class yarn (smooth, non-splitting, light or bright or medium color); multiple colors of yarn or long-print yarns are especially fun in this technique. a long (40- or 60-inch) circular or interchangeable needle you like with this yarn stitch markers in at least two colors crochet hook Homework: Know your favorite double-increase (turn one stitch into three) and double-decrease (turn three stitches into one) and how you like to use stitch markers at those points.

You have a wheel, and you can spin a basic single ply yarn, but it takes longer than it should, and you aren’t sure what to do next. Don’t worry! There is more out there – if you are excited to learn take that next step NOW! Learn back draw and forward draw, and the famous long draw! We will practice some different plying techniques, venture a tiny bit down the art yarn path, and work on finishing techniques as well. -Up your wheel spinning game in a safe environment with a teacher who has been spinning for decades. Materials cost covers: Fiber and color options. Materials fees are included in the cost of registration.

Tempted by spinning but not sure a regular wheel’s for you? Intrigued by the idea of making just the yarn you want but not sure where you’d put a wheel if you had one? Feet/knees not doing what you want as painlessly as they used to, making the whole treadling part of wheel spinning look less than fun? Take an e-spinner for, well, a spin! Try several out in this experiential, process-oriented class for folks just starting their spinning journey. E-spinners are small, tabletop-friendly, juiced up and ready to go–you might discover one that’s just right for you! Materials cost covers: Shared use of instructor’s herd of e-spinners, including models by Daedalus, Dreaming Robots/EEW, Hansen, and more; access to 100% wool roving from various breeds (Bluefaced Leicester, Cheviot, Corriedale, Falkland, Merino) for use in experimenting with provided e-spinners. Materials fees are included in the cost of registration. No participant-provided materials required: instructor will provide all tools and materials. Students just need to bring their curiosity and willingness to learn–and their patience with the process and with themselves. No homework prior to class. No previous experience required; class is specifically designed for new spinners who want to explore e-spinning. Class is process-oriented, rather than product-oriented. Students must have enough manual dexterity to hold and draft wool roving and must be able to to focus for the duration of the class. Students must have enough manual dexterity to hold and draft wool roving and must be able to to focus for the duration of the class.

Shadow or illusion knitting is a garter ridge stitch fabric that has an observable pattern when viewed from a specific oblique direction. When viewed directly, it mimics two-row stripes. It is an easy, fun, and mysterious way to add patterns to otherwise plain projects, especially garter stitch. Included bonus material is my solution for working this fabric reversibly. There is no materials fee. Student minimum age: 12 Bring: class yarn (smooth, non-splitting) in 2 contrasting colors — colors similar in hue and/or value will make the illusion less pronounced appropriate-sized needles for working stockinette and garter firmly (not loosely) in this yarn possibly stitch markers possibly highlighter tape or magnetic board, as we will be working from a chart No homework. Skills needed: know how to knit and purl, can read a pattern
