Yup, as my blog title suggests, I have learned about a knitting scholarship that is available so I’m passing on this interesting news from Interweave Knitting Lab:
The Interweave Knitting Lab Scholarship has been established to encourage knitters to explore the art and craft of knitting, experiment with new and interesting techniques and supplies and to engage with the knitting community in a fertile environment.
Interweave has crafted exciting educational programs for both Interweave Knitting Labs, bringing together designers, instructors, authors and knitting historians. The events are taking place at the Radisson Hotel Manchester in Manchester, NH on October 4 – 7, 2012 and the Marriott San Mateo in San Mateo, CA on November 1 – 4, 2012. The educational opportunities provided at Interweave Knitting Lab are second to none, reflecting the quality instruction that Interweave publications and products have always provided.
The Interweave Knitting Lab Scholarship is designed to bring knitters to the Knitting Lab in Manchester, NH and San Mateo, CA who have much to offer the community both at the event and beyond, and who would otherwise not be able to attend. “Our hope is that the knitting community will benefit by the infusion of in-depth education and the acknowledgement of the importance of recognizing and compelling the exchange of ideas, skills and stories, “explains Karin Strom, Editorial Director of Interweave Knits.
