An image keeps running through our minds - the Italian residents join together to sing from their balconies during the lockdown. Click here to watch.

We want to keep sharing hope, inspiration and connection to our fiber friends around the world, especially right now. That's why we reached out to our Knit Stars Alumni to find out what they are doing to stay connected during these difficult times, and also see how we can continue to support their work.

Andrea reminds us, "In this difficult time around the world, knitting is a great comfort to many of us. I am once again offering online classes for a limited time through the store right here on my website. I will be offering options in terms of length, topics, and prices so that there is something for every knitter out there. I hope this can be something to help occupy your time positively and continue improving your personal knitting journey. I am very excited to do this and hopefully meet many of you and share our love of knitting!"
