As of this writing, several workshops still have space, including those with Susanna Hansson, Beth Brown-Reinsel, Cat Bordhi, Sandi Rosner, Karen Alfke, JC Briar, and Fiona Ellis. The massive Stitches Market will be open Friday through Sunday. It also features book signings and a Knit Doctor on call daily.
