It looks like the Second Annual Third Coast Fiber Arts Festival will occur on Friday and Saturday, October 25-26, 2013, in the same wonderful location, with a fresh list of fabulous fiber-arts workshops and vendors galore -- this time all on street level (better light for those previously housed on garden level). Stay tuned for details. And mark calendars.
In the meantime: Let's knit and crochet! I'm going to create a 3/4 length nubby cotton coat from Prism Calypso in three reddish/burgundy/teal colorways. I'll keep you posted.
I also have in mind getting the Detroit City Council to declare the Saturday of the festival Knit and Crochet Day Detroit. This past year, I did up a resolution patterned after the one that the Atlanta Knitting Guild crafted -- adopted by the governor of Georgia (Knit and Crochet Day Atlanta) to mark the Saturday of the then-new Stitches Expo South. So why not in Detroit? If anyone has a good idea as to how to get the resolution before the city council, PLEASE drop me a note at artisanknitworks@comcast.net, or leave a comment here. Jocelyn Brown of the News suggested last year that I simply call Charles Pugh. But we ran out of time, and the City was dealing with a major budget crisis at the time. I still have the resolution -- need only to change dates. Ideas? If we could get this simple resolution adopted, we could send it off to Pure Michigan, etc., and increase the event's reach and exposure.
More soon.
