Knitting and Yoga Adventures

K&YA

features nationally recognized designers

that bring their unique knowledge, visions, and projects to our

workshops.

Over the years we have had some great knitting experiences and classes focusing on cables, lace, intarsia and fair isle, lessons in sizing and color theory... the list goes on!

Teva Durham, nationally recognized creator and designer of Loop-d-Loop.com and the Loop-d-Loop series of books, will be joining us for our 2011 Monhegan Island Adventure. Known for her designs that are '...edgy and urban with an organic, knitterly twist', she will be teaching from her latest book, Loop-d-Loop Lace, due out this spring. And if that wasn't enough, she will be teaching with her own collection of yarns from Tahki Stacy Charles.

Susan Mills, Design Director for Classic Elite Yarns, joins us for the 5th year in a row! We are fortunate to have such an amazing designer in our midst. Every year Susan brings projects that are technique focused and project based such as mittens, scarves, and hats in combinations of lace, cables, and textures. The beauty of her classes are that they are suitable for not only the novice knitter but the most advanced as well because they feature endless variations and combinations through charts, graphs, and text. With Susan's guidance, we've learned how to create our own designs and patterns through texture and color combinations.

And if that wasn't enough, Susan always delights us with loads of wonderful yarn to experience and enjoy! We get to hear and see the latest news straight from the industry front and have even enjoyed watching a Classic Elite photo shoot for the 2011 lines!

Cathy Payson, Design Director of Reynolds, JCA, joined us on our 2010 Monhegan Island Adventure and what a delight she was! Cathy is well recognized in the handknitting world for her beautiful textural patterns geared towards real women. Her designs are classic, inspiring, and easy to knit to fit all varieties of shapes and sizes.

Her work can now be seen on virtually every knit shop shelf in pattern books for the likes of Nashua Handknits as well as Classic Elite and Reynolds. She is also a frequent contributor to Interweave Knits. Over the years, Cathy has worked with Aarlan, Classic Elite Yarns, and Susan Bristol.

Lisa Evans, of Knitting and Yoga Adventures, Inc., became known in the handknitting industry for her inspired and colorful knitted designs with LBEvans Handknits. Her work pushes the edge of traditional color knitting styles like intarsia, fair isle and striping techniques.

When Lisa is a featured instructor, she works with those attending the retreat on developing their color knitting skills and exploring the basics elements and principles of design. Her workshops are technique and project based featuring one of her many handbag, backpack, or tote designs from her LBEvans Handknits collection which are available exclusively through K&YA.
