Spring 2008 News

Maggi Jackson has made a life in designing high fashion knitwear.  She works in the traditional linens and wools of her Irish homeland, but her design style is definitely not traditional.  You are invited to join us for an evening of knitting inspiration and Irish humor. 

Friday, April 4
7:00  pm
Fashion Show
The energy and excitement of a live Maggiknits fashion show will keep you inspired and motivated in your knitting for months to come.  You will be able to try on fashion show garments after the show. 
Fashion Show Fee: $15.00
(may be applied to class fee for Saturday or Sunday)
A drawing will be held for a free class with Maggi

Saturday, April 5
10 am to 4 pm
Beginning with Maggi
Newbies to Maggi’s style of knitting will learn the signature stitches from the master herself.  Your class piece can become décor (pillow top or table runner) or the beginning of a scarf. 
Class Fee: $80 includes lunch
$20 yarn pack fee

Sunday, April 6
10 am to 4 pm
Ireland to Spain
Matadors, flamenco dancers, and rows upon rows of olive trees—Maggie shows how Spanish influences inspired her new stitches. Discover what you can create just by looking around you. Work samples in 2-colored frilled tubes, colored bobbles, twisted split, and picot tubes, then use your pieces in a shawl, pillow, purse, wall hanging, or as attachments to a sweater. Think outside the box!  This class is intended for knitters with previous Maggi knitting experience. 
Class Fee: $80 includes lunch
$20 yarn pack fee
