Upcoming Events

Hand Knit Goods

I have yarn, pattern kits, and hand-knit items at my booth.  All items sold at my booth are produced from my own sheep. 

 

Please note that you may have to pay an admission charge if an event requires it.  I've included the admission charge, if any, in each event description below.

Why is the list so short?

The short answer is that I have retired from doing shows except for a few select favorites, but the long answer is in my When Will There Be More Yarn explanation.

2026 Events

April 18 (Saturday), 2026.  30th Annual Stephenson County Fiber Art Fair, Cedarville, Illinois.  A celebration of the fiber arts with workshops, demonstrations of spinning and weaving, and vendors offering fibers for spinning plus finished yarn, dyes, books, gifts, equipment, handmade soap and baskets.  Also supplies for spinning, weaving, knitting, felting, dyeing, tatting and crochet.  Admission is $3 for adults, free for kids under 12.  For more information visit www.scfiberartfair.com

 

My products will be part of the Moonspinners booth (on "The Stage" in the gym).  I'll have hand-knit items made with both modern and historic patterns.   I’ll also have my book Suzy's Musings & More.

November 20 - 22, 2026. Victorian Mansion Holiday Gift Show, Stephenson County Historical Society, 1440 S. Carroll Avenue, Freeport, Illinois.  An arts and crafts sale in the gorgeous 1857 Oscar Taylor Mansion with high quality, handmade items, along with unique books on local subjects, pretzel gift items, and Rawleigh products.  You can shop while enjoying the ambiance of the historic mansion.  Free admission.  Note that this is the weekend before Thanksgiving weekend.  A portion of each purchase will help support the museum.  Visit www.stephcohs.org for more information.

 

I will not personally be there, but my handknit items made with documented historical patterns will be there.  And my book, Suzy's Musings & More, is always available every day year-round in their museum gift shop!

Can't wait for an event to see my yarn?  

      You don't have to!
My yarn, pattern kits and knit goods are available year round on my Etsy page.
