Photo Recap: Rhode Island School of Design Workshops
My students from the Step It Up Knits II: Finishing Techniques workshop.
Last month I had the pleasure of teaching a couple of workshops through the continued education program at the prestigious, Rhode Island School of Design. I spend most of my teaching time in a virtual classroom, so getting to interact personally with passionate knitters was an absolute treat! Thanks to all of the students, RISD CE staff, and Rhonda Fargnoli for inviting me to their beautiful campus!
Here are just a few shots from the classes, and my subsequent New England jaunt with my husband and youngest child.
Enjoy!

Hallway of the Library building/dorms at RISD.
Glue guns and duct tape? Now this is my idea of a college school supplies store!
Post class / pre shopping cuddle with Clover.
Providence thrift store score!
We made the pilgrimage to Salem, MA–a long time wish of mine.
Unfortunately, the yarn stores were closed the day we were there — so no, “Stitch & Witch” for me. Alas.
Historic house where one of the Salem “witches” was unjustly hung.
Pit stop in Scarborough, ME to visit my childhood buddy and his beautiful family.
YARNYAY! FALL BOX REVEAL:
Every season, YarnYAY! presents a new box for knitters who are ready to dive into a more in-depth project than our regular monthly boxes. For Autumn, we've gone mad for plaid, and are thrilled to have partnered with FOUR other (besides mine) woman-owned, small businesses. (Tap to see.)
We're shipping these box beauties on Tuesday 10/17 and only have a limited amount. Reserve yours today, in whatever palette speaks to you, and we'll get it to you ASAP. Link in @vickiehowell bio, or visit yarnyay.com...

FREE Pattern 🚨 Alert: The Ginger Spice Bi-Color Brioche Scarf! We couldn't resist whipping up this beauty out of the YarnYAY! October featured yarn @thefibrecompany &Make Aran (in colors Spill the Tea and Mon Ami). Make it to match either pair of the mitt patterns that come with our October Box, or make it on its own. You do you!
This pattern comes free with the purchase of &Make Aran yarn from our shop. Add the pattern to your cart, and the discount will appear at checkout. Who's feeling spicy? yarnyay.com (link in @vickiehowell bio).
The Forager wrist warmers by @hellogavriella (and featured in the YarnYAY! October Box) might be my favorite crocheted mitt pattern we've ever included in one of our monthly boxes. The wool/alpaca blend of @thefibrecompany &Make Aran yarn is the perfect medium for textured linen stitches. Oh, and the peek-a-boo detailing at the top-edges, is *chef's kiss"!
Treat yourself to the October Box to get this pattern (plus THREE more!), yarn, and a couple more awesomely autumnal items. Link in @vickiehowell bio (or go to yarnyay.com) to learn more.
