Fair Isle is one of my favorite knitting methods since I love to work with colors. I started designing my own sweaters and vests, using steeks to create color work that is completely knit in the round. Three of my colorwork sweaters won best of show in the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival Original Design Competition, 2013-2015. Fair Isle knitting shouldn't intimidate knitters, it really is less complicated than it looks.

In my mid-50’s I learned to spin, taking a dive off the deep end of that pool, from which I’ve never resurfaced. Knitting with handspun, learning to weave on floor loom, upright and pin looms as well as locker hooking (a great way to use remnants of fabrics), felting, dyeing fleece, fibers and yarns with both chemical and natural dyes. I prefer making useful things, sweaters, sox caps and cowls with my handspun….mostly using multiple colors….fair isle, stranded work as well as entrelac and Intarsia techniques. Weaving-wise, blankets and hand/tea towels are my favorites. Using smaller bits of yarns, pin loom weaving is a great way to utilize these ‘left overs’. Locker hooking covers a wide range of uses, from place mats, rugs to sturdy baskets, purses and even some garment shaping. If it’s wool…or most any other spinnable fiber…I’ve tried, done it. I’ve not raised the animals, unless cheingora counts, I’ve spun it. I have my preferences regarding the type of fleece and prefer to buy from a local grower…support your local Shepherdress!!…if we don’t buy locally, they won’t stay around! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/877f6820-cd83-4738-908b-00344e3bcfb8/Elaine_Almquist_lockerhooking1.jpeg Catalog - Locker Hooking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/0441c7f7-22d4-4a4a-aae2-31227b6c5496/Elaine_Almquist_lockerhooking3.jpeg Catalog - Locker Hooking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/5d8c6172-9dee-4d55-9109-c5c8ddf7b3e4/Elaine_Almquist_lockerhooking2.jpeg Catalog - Locker Hooking https://www.minnesotafiberfestival.com/store/p/clarisse-necklace-2025-kerr monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/efc1fb62-564d-41bb-8e5e-9ddf10b691d1/Deb_Kerr.jpg Catalog - Clarisse Necklace - about Deb Kerr Deb is a retired math teacher from Pennsylvania and co-owner of iTry Studios - a yarn and bead store - in Alexandria, Minnesota.

I recently retired from teaching but still can't find enough time in the day for the knitting, spinning, and felting I love to do. And weaving is 'looming' in the not-too-distant future! I've had a small flock sheep for over twenty years, always breeding for healthy sheep and beautiful fleece. My Romney and Border Leicester fleeces have won awards at festivals in six states. At these festivals, I regularly attend classes taught by nationally known artists. My classes are planned and organized, including scaffolded learning experiences and end-of-class goals. I plan for time to answer questions yet keep things moving with a sense of humor. I love combining my love of teaching and the fiber arts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/32aac2ee-ddc4-4884-8410-ea14c8b4d233/Kim_Specht_drop_spindling1.jpg Catalog - Drop Spindling – You Can Do It! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/0142c82a-c176-4fca-b93e-2795378bf0fb/Kim_Specht_drop_spindling2.jpg Catalog - Drop Spindling – You Can Do It! https://www.minnesotafiberfestival.com/store/p/felted-cross-body-bag-2025-utecht monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/f29f40ec-b2de-4aed-94dd-c51e47b18760/Rebecca+Utecht%2C+2025+Class+Instructor Catalog - Felted Cross Body Bag - about Becky Utecht I fell down the fiber art rabbit hole after acquiring my first two sheep in 2001. I use the wool from my flock to spin, knit, felt, weave, and do Skinnfell (stitching and wood block printing on tanned sheepskin). I have taught felting classes for over 15 years and Skinnfell classes for 5 years. In addition to teaching at Sheep & Wool festivals, I teach at the American Swedish Institute, North House Folk School, the Vesterheim, and Marine Mills Folk School. I was awarded a grant to study Skinnfell at a Folk School in Norway during the summer of 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/61731ee3-170c-4b59-9b52-acf938545135/Rebecca_Utecht_crossbodyBag1.jpg Catalog - Felted Cross Body Bag https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/e1817b20-8c39-4da8-9c19-a5435128de72/Rebecca_Utecht_crossbodyBag2.jpg Catalog - Felted Cross Body Bag https://www.minnesotafiberfestival.com/store/p/the-ancient-craft-of-nalbinding-ml4t2 monthly 0.5 2025-12-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e6e5b9c2af6d508e3469a66/1661110782185-6X145NWO6Y0CHW27H9ZL/Kasha+Linn Catalog - The Ancient Craft of Nalbinding - about Kasha Linn I'm Kasha Linn, owner of Kasha's Knits and fiber artist based in Saint Cloud, MN.
