We are fortunate to have Cat Bordhi back again after just wonderful feedback from all who attended.  Meet Cat  on Saturday in the Fiber Arts Village and take advantage of her time on Vashon by attending this fabulous workshop too.  

 Workshop with Cat Bordhi
The Wherewithall Vest

The Country Store, 9:30-1:30

 Cost is $90
***Free shuttle will be available right from Country Store if you wish to join us at the fields of Misty Isle Farms.


Class Description:  The Wherewithall Vest
In one lively day, Cat will teach you all you need to know to confidently knit the Wherewithall Vest, a design that flatters many body types and is easily customized to suit your choice of yarn weight and colors. In fact, most people start planning their second one while working on their first! Students will receive a PDF of the pattern in advance.

Vashon Sheepdog Classic will be hosting Cat Bordhi on Sunday June 9th at  
The Country Store from 9:30am-1:30pm

We are grateful to have the amazing Cat Bordhi back to the Fiber Village in 2019 in celebration of ​World Wide Knit in Public Day.  Cat has authored many knitting books and a novel.  She is an inspiration and mentor to other knit designers and offers workshops and retreats.  

If you want to be inspired or get your knitting questions answered this is an amazing opportunity to meet one of the most respected artists in her field.
 

And, with the success of her amazing workshop last year we will be hosting another off site on Sunday June 9th (shuttles available to/from trial site)


You can learn more about Cat at her website: www.catbordhi.com
