Crafty Detour University

August27


This fall Crafty Detour is launching Crafty Detour University!  We will be hosting two classes: Socks 101, taught by Heather, and Advanced Techniques: Steeks, taught by Sarah. Posts will be semi-frequent; we are aiming for weekly. Socks will be early fall, and Steeks will be late fall. No registration is required! If all goes well, we hope to make the University a regular gig around here with new classes popping up throughout year.

Have an idea for a class? a topic you want us to explore? Leave a comment and let us know.

Heather and Sarah welcome you to Crafty Detour. What is Crafty Detour?

It’s kind of like a podcast, but without audio. A place where Sairy Knits and Digitalnabi come together to provide a two part perspective where other blogs usually only provide one. It’s truly a detour from our usual blogging which we will continue to do on our own sites. CraftyDetour is a joint venture that will enable collaborative projects in the future.

Heather is the creative director for The Alpaca Yarn Company. She also designs knitwear, teaches, and blogs here: digitalnabi.com. She’s web programmer by day, a designer by night and a knitter always.

Sarah is a researcher/analyst for a stock indexing company – a job that keeps her on her toes! She has been knitting since starting graduate school for Applied Statistics in 2005.  Sarah knits, spins, and dyes yarn and roving for her etsy shop: Stitches ‘n Rows. Her personal blog is Sairy Knits where she tries to blog about finished objects, test knitting, her fat cat Haley, food, and whatever else is on her mind when she can remember.
