Throw back Saturday can be a thing… right? Sure it can! Benjamin found this photo from a few years ago in the STITCHES archives and sent it to us. This was taken and STITCHES Midwest a while back and, as we gear up for this year’s STITCHES Midwest we are reminded of how amazing it is that we get to do what we love. We truly love every aspect of our “job” but teaching is definitely one of the highlights that we just don’t ever want to be without. The moment a student becomes empowered to create something new and gains the courage to try something they never thought possible is everything to us. Empowering creativity through knowledge has always been our driving focus and we are grateful every time you all trust us to help guide you on your creative journeys. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.💖💖 . . . #shibaguyzlive #stitchesevents #stitchesmidwest #travelingteacher #crochetersofstitchesmidwest #knittersofstitchesmidwest #sewistsofstitchesmidwest #quiltersofstitchesmidwest #chicagocrochet #crochetchicago #chicagoknitters #chicagosewists https://www.instagram.com/p/ByvmXYYJTfc/?igshid=15yfc18os1jsi

We were thrilled to have @lionbrandyarn back in the classroom with us at STITCHES Midwest for two classes. We chose a light neutral color of our favorite DK weight garment yarn: LB Collection Superwash Merino. The light color makes it easier to see when we are teaching a new technique or texture stitch and this yarn holds its structure so beautifully while we practice resulting in gorgeous stitch definition. Give it a try next chance you get and maybe you'll find some at your seat when you come to one of our Shibaguyz LIVE classes at a future STITCHES event! Thank you Lion Brand!🎉 . . . #stitchesmidwest #shibaguyzlive #lionbrand #lionbrandyarn #lionbrandsuperwashmerino #superwashmerino #crochetclass #crochetersofstitchesmidwest #crochetersofinstagram #crochet #yarn #crochetyarn #knittingclass #knittersofinstagram (at Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel)
