The Upper Midwest Knitting Machine Dealers will be working very hard to put on another outstanding seminar for you. This will be our 28th year.
We will not be in a hotel, but the hotels in town are within a mile of Trinity Crossing. We hope you will be able to attend again this year.
Our classes are being taught by a group of skilled and innovative guest demonstrators and our own talented members.
Our guest demonstrators are: Morgan Hicks is the owner of All Points Yarn in Des Moines, WA where he offers a full-range of personalized classes and color/design workshops from beginning to advanced hand knitting and crochet, machine knitting, weaving, and needle felting. His web site is www.allpointsyarn.com . He applies his anthropology and engineering degrees to bring students and professionals alike student-centered education and training in textile color and design, fabric making techniques. Morgan has published over 50 articles and hundreds of original fabric designs in North American knitting periodicals.
Linda Jensen has received a BA in Home Economics from San Diego State University and then a Master of Science in Home Economics from Florida State University intending to be a college professor in the fiber arts, which she loves. She started her Arts And Crafts business in 1995 calling it Linda's Crafts. Now that she has retired from her Government career and working in earnest on a professional portfolio, developing a network of contacts to offer my services to teach and demonstrate machine knitting techniques. She also has an on-line store at Etsy.com (search under Machine Knit Patterns to find me).
We will also have some of our very good talent in the Minnesota and surrounding states doing machine Knitting demonstrations also.
