It's a New Year and a New You! There's no time like now to get your year started off right!

Have you ever tried to start bullet journaling, and gotten totally overwhelmed with all the options and gave up or didn't even get started? Or have you bought a planner after planner only to realize that they just don't work with YOUR style and needs? Or maybe you've started a planner, but can never keep up with it and you end up with twenty-something empty planner pages from days you missed and then feel guilty and give up?

Does any of this sound familiar?

If so, the Bullet Journal can be your new best friend and something you enjoy doing instead of feeling guilty about it.

The beauty of a Bullet Journal is that it can be modified to what works best for you! You just need the right start to get the basics and then you decide how much or how little you want to put into it.

This quick and easy class will:
+ Explain the basics of bullet journalling
+  Discuss different tools and methods
+ Show you my personal approach to setting up and keeping the journal
+ Help you get ideas on how to make the bullet journal work for you
+ Teach you how to move past the fear of making a mistake to get started

Come along and create a journal that will help you learn how to plan and have fun along the way!

If you have been wanting to learn a new stitch technique with mosaic knitting, this is a great project to add to your new skills. Join Nicholene, fiber artist of Woolen Violet, to learn how to get started knitting the 'Shift' cowl, designed by Andrea Mowry. Andrea is a well known knitting designer with many beautiful modern knit wear patterns. The mosaic stitch is an engaging and fun colorwork technique, using 2 colors at a time to create a unique, geometric shape. You will learn slip stich knitting with many yarn colors, which results in a striped pattern. The contrast colors also create a unique texture, in an asymmetrical triangular shape. Two of the sides get sewed up after binding off to create a cowl. A perfect accessory to complete your stylish outfit!

In class we will get started knitting the mosaic pattern, with an I cord edge. We will not finish the entire project in class, but the plan is to have your knit started with the tools to continue and finish later on.

Techniques used in this design, per pattern details: mosaic knitting, bias shaping, I-cord edges, slipping stitches, mattress stitch, increasing, and decreasing.

Learning mosaic knitting can motivate you to get started knitting several more of Andrea's designs: the Nightshift Shawl, Shifty sweater and Shiftalong hat. Her work can be found here. Plus there are many more designers and beautiful patterns out there!  Knitting has been shown to decrease stress and can be a soothing balm for the heart.
