We were thrilled to have two amazing designers share their talents with us.  First the one of a kind Nicky Epstein came to teach her most popular class, Edging Magic & Flower Power.

As always Nicky brought TONS of samples to inspire.

After some expert guidance and some exited declarations of “I never would have thought of that!”, we all dove in making spirals, roses, ruffles, bobbles, flowers and more.  There was no limit to what could be made with yarn, needles, Nicky & imagination.

Here’s a few of the wonderful works in progress from the class (I think the purple one looks like a face):

As if that wasn’t wonderful enough, last Thursday the wonderful Debby Ware came to dazzle us with her whimsical designs.

Not to mention her own quirky sense of humor!

She showed us that sometimes a mistake turns into a designer’s inspiration…

and that knitting is all about having fun and being creative.  Even serious knitters don’t always have to be serious!

And, of course, she brought along tons of samples for us to enjoy and oogle.  It was an adorable explosion!!

After the talk, everyone enjoyed chatting with Debbie and getting her to sign their new books.  Scrumptious Toppers is her latest book of adorable head fashions for babies and children.

We really enjoyed having both of the creative and talented ladies visit us.  We certainly hope to see them again soon!
