Thanks for all the lovely comments on Antonia, everyone! I have photos of the final accessory design to share with you in a couple of days. But in the meantime, I have two more pieces of exciting news. Thing Number One is:
Design classes!
I've been wanting to develop a class on Beginning Knitting Design for a long time. I envision a class that goes into the creative process - finding inspiration, and different methods for bringing that spark (a mood, a color, an era, an old photograph) into fruition as a finished garment - but also on the less glamorous nitty-gritty stuff like applying math, working with stitch patterns, planning increases and decreases, and so on. I finally got my act together to pitch this to my fave Portland yarn store, and they're on board! So, I'm nervous and excited to announce the following:
Mondays: October 19th & October 26th
4-6pm
at Twisted (2310 NE Broadway, Portland, Oregon)
$40 for both weeks
(to register, call 503-922-1150)
If anyone has requests or suggestions about what they'd love to learn in a class like this, I'm all ears. I'm still very much in the planning stages of putting together all the materials and curriculum, so please speak up! Right now, my vision is that the first week will be devoted to different methods of developing the ghost of an idea into a workable sketch/swatch/garment concept, and the second week will be devoted to taking that concept and working out all the details that will enable you to knit it up. We'll just be designing little scarves or wraps in the actual class, but the principles we'll be talking about are applicable to all kinds of design. Sound like fun? Call up Twisted and register!
Or, want to check out my credentials ahead of time, to see if you'd like to take a class from me? Why not attend Thing Two:
Portland Trunk Show
From October 9-19, all the Family Trunk Project garments, as well as the new accessory patterns, will be on display at Twisted for all to inspect and (hopefully) admire. And if you'd like to come hang out with me AND the designs, we're having a little opening soiree, with free wine and sparkling conversation:
Trunk Show: opening night!
Friday, October 9, 5-8pm
At Twisted (2310 NE Broadway, Portland, Oregon)
FREE!
I really hope to meet and reconnoiter with some Portland people at these events! It's kind of embarrassing that the first trunk show was in Boston rather than my home town, but this will be lots of Portland excitement to make up for it. See you there!

Aww, man! I wish I lived in Portland!
The design glass at Twisted will be awesome with you, Emily, as guide. Knitters of a wide range of experience will have a great experience and be launched into a new realm of creative endeavor. I sure wish I lived close enough to join the fun!
And having attended your impressive first trunk show in Boston, I urge everyone within range of Twisted to see your beautiful designs, try them on, and, on Oct. 9th, to meet the designer herself. Great web design and photography too, by the way!
I wish I could attend your class! I'm sure it will be brilliant.
I am happy your first trunk show was here, at my Former Yarn Store of Employment, even if I can't say I was there. It was so much fun to meet you, and I'm still drooling over that sweater in memory.
That was really a nice activity for you. And I like all the photos here. They look all great! - Paul Kadri
