Hi everyone! I wasn't able to publish much in 2024, so I'm starting a new series to connect with you all more. I'm going to try to check in once a week or so to talk about how my projects are going, answer questions if I can, etc. I'm hoping this can lead to more interaction between me and subscribers/viewers. Leave questions here and I'll address them if I can, and if it leads to a bigger video, great! This will be similar to the Sun Dragon Sideshow in some ways, but allow me more time to address questions raised or topics that come up :)

First up is a video on Double Point Needles, the oldest and most traditional form of knitting in the round. This is not one used in the class, as it is more geared for one sock at a time, but is sometimes my favorite way to knit socks! It's also useful for the tops of hats, mittens, and more!

Hi everyone! I wasn't able to publish much in 2024, so I'm starting a new series to connect with you all more. I'm going to try to check in once a week or so to talk about how my projects are going, answer questions if I can, etc. I'm hoping this can lead to more interaction between me and subscribers/viewers. Leave questions here and I'll address them if I can, and if it leads to a bigger video, great! This will be similar to the Sun Dragon Sideshow in some ways, but allow me more time to address questions raised or topics that come up :)

Our Sun Dragon KAL page, the current KAL is the Ranunculus: facebook.com/groups/sundragonkalSummer virtual classes: Corner to corner crochet and Sock knittingSun Dragon Tips & Tricks2024-06-17 | Summer classes: Virtual schedule
Virtual seminars will be on Sundays, 1-3 pm US Eastern time. Zoom sessions will be $25 each, and you will have access to the recordings afterwards. All classes available for purchase on our online shop:
Seminar 1: Basics of Corner to Corner, June 23 Our Summer MAL is crochet-focused on the topic of corner to corner, also referred to as C2C. This inventive crochet skill can be used from cowls to blankets and more! This class will be on the basic skill of building corner to corner: if you’d like to focus on a project, we recommend the Peach Orchard Infinity Scarf by Amy Ramnarine ravelry.com/patterns/library/peach-orchard-infinity-scarf
Seminar 2: Corner to Corner with colorwork, July 7 This inventive crochet skill can be used from cowls to blankets and more! Now that you know the basics, how about following a pattern that creates a design using the technique? I’ll be making the Alpaca Love C2C Blanket by Jess Coppom, and in class we will cover how to make this work! ravelry.com/patterns/library/alpaca-love-c2c-blanket
Cuff-Down Sock Seminar, $100 for 4 sessions In addition to the Corner to Corner classes above, our other big series of classes this summer will be a sock seminar. Learn to make basic sock through 4 classes, spaced out so you can work between classes to get to the next part of the sock. 2 weeks from cuff to heel, 2 classes on the heel on back to back Saturdays, and then 2 weeks to the toe. We will use a basic sock pattern, and you can choose your method of "small circumference" knitting: double point needles, 2 circulars, magic loop, or 9" circulars.
Sock Seminar 1: Getting Started and cuff knitting, June 30 Sock Seminar 2: Heel part 1, overview and heel flap, July 14 Sock Seminar 3: Heel part 2, heel turn and gusset, July 21 Sock Seminar 4: Toe and finishing, August 4

Brioche is a wonderful knitting technique where when using 2 colors you can have reversible ribbing where a different color is dominant on either side. This make-a-long will focus on skills and techniques, rather than everyone making the same project. Class participants should come with the required supplies or prep work, as we will be working on small sample swatches where you can apply skills you have learned to a project of your choice.
Seminar 1: Brioche Knitting in the Round This is a wonderful introduction to Brioche, as you will learn the skills using 2 colors where each color has only one “job”, so you can learn the skills in a streamlined format.
Seminar 2: Brioche Knitting Flat This Seminar is “step 2”, once you learn brioche in the round it is much easier to tackle flat knitting where the “jobs” of each yarn are different depending on what side of the work is facing you.
Seminar 3: Fixing Mistakes in Basic Brioche Now that you can brioche, what to do if you miss a step on the row before or drop a stitch? Solutions so you don’t have to rip it all out!
Seminar 4: Increasing and Decreasing in Brioche Using increases and decreases in brioche can create wonderful patterns where the ridges seem to dance over each other. Learn the basic techniques to accomplishing this “in pattern”.
Virtual seminars will be on Sundays, 1-3 pm US Eastern time. Zoom sessions will be $25 each, or $90 for all 4, and you will have access to the recordings afterwards.
VIRTUAL (click the link below for more info and to purchase) March 24, 1-3 pm: Seminar 1: Brioche knitting in the Round April 7, 1-3 pm: Seminar 2: Brioche knitting Flat April 21, 1-3 pm: Seminar 3: Fixing Mistakes in Basic Brioche May 5, 1-3 pm: Seminar 4: Increasing and Decreasing in Brioche
Supplies: Not needed to attend the seminars, but if you'd like to participate, circular needles or double points are a must, as well as 2 colors of contrasting yarn. Thickness is whatever you would like to use, as well as needles that are appropriate to the yarn thickness. For the first session, to make the rounds shorter, 16" or shorter circulars are advised.

Liz and I got Covid after moving the shop, and the recovery has been slow. I want to get back to the lecture series like last fall and more free access videos as well, and it has proven challenging to just run the shop and make it home. Not necessarily looking for sympathy, just trying to keep you all updated in the authentic way for which I'm known.
Made this at home and some of my tech is at the shop, so no opener or credits this week. 🤦♀️
The shop is down to one virtual sit n stitch a week, 7-8 pm US Eastern time, the Zoom meeting code is our phone number (828 877 3550) or the following link: http://us02web.zoom.us/j/8288773550
We are also doing one Sunday a month on Facebook Live and Zoom (same code as before), in February it will be the 11th from 2-4 US Eastern.

Heres how you can helpSun Dragon Tips & Tricks2023-10-17 | While I film my Tips & Tricks at home, my main job is running Sun Dragon Art & Fiber, a local yarn shop in Brevard, NC. We are moving at the end of the month to a larger location with parking just down the road, and we are super excited, though could also use your help if you are willing and able:
We are moving! at the end of the month, we will be relocating the shop 0.3 miles down the road, to 283 North Broad St. If you'd like to help us build our dream space, we are fundraising: both on Go Fund Me: gofund.me/d2785e2c
Here is how we are saying thank you: Explanations: All tiers have "Viking" as part of their designation: we affectionately call our customers Vikings because we joke that they come and "pillage" the shop. It is always a whirlwind helping yarnies select just the right thing for a project, and we love it. We also have a rewards system called Dragon Dollars cards. When spending money in the shop, each $10 before tax earns a stamp on the card. When the card is full at 24 stamps, the customer earns $25 of shop credit.
Viking Torchbearers ($1-$149) For every $15 donated, 2 stamps are earned (what would be received for $20 in sales in the shop). If you already have a customer file with us, these are added to your existing total.
Bronze Vikings ($150-$299) A $150 donation is equal to a full rewards card (24 stamps, $25 shop credit) OR 15% off your next purchase. Every $15 between $150 and the next tier earns 2 stamps on a Dragon Dollar rewards card.
Silver Vikings ($300-$599) A $300 donation is equal to 2 full rewards cards ($50 shop credit) OR 20% off your next purchase. Every $15 between $300 and the next tier earns 2 stamps on a Dragon Dollar rewards card.
Gold Vikings ($600-$999) $600 donation: 4 full rewards cards ($100 shop credit) OR 25% off your next purchase. Every $15 between $300 and the next tier earns 2 stamps on a Dragon Dollar rewards card.
Platinum Vikings ($1000+) $1000 donation: 6 full rewards cards ($150 shop credit) OR 30% off your next purchase
