🌟 Workshop Overview

Looking for a creative way to stay active, meet new friends, and enjoy the rhythm of the seasons? Join us for a sunshiny make-a-along where you’ll create a modular lap blanket inspired by summer, autumn, and winter. This isn’t just a blanket—it’s a comforting companion that can be used as a meditation or prayer throw, a gift of warmth, or a personal keepsake filled with meaning.

This workshop is offered in a hybrid format, combining in-person gatherings with guided at-home weeks. This structure creates space for a fuller, more flexible experience—allowing you to knit at your own pace while staying connected through a private online group. Share progress, ask questions, and enjoy ongoing encouragement between sessions.

Each session introduces new stitches and seasonal themes, helping you tell your own story through texture and color. Along the way, you’ll learn how to read stitch dictionaries, explore modular knitting techniques, and design panels that reflect your memories and inspirations.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a beginner picking up your needles again, this workshop is designed to keep your hands busy, your mind engaged, and your heart full.
