The weekend will kick-off with a Meet & Greet Reception which will be a casual open house style cocktail party where you will have an opportunity to meet Arne & Carlos, as well as purchase one of their pattern design books & have the book signed. The evening will also include a wonderful presentation where Arne & Carlos will share their design inspirations.

To prepare for the workshops we are hosting three Arne & Carlos Workshop Prep Open Houses. During these open houses you will have the opportunity to relax & knit the homework for the Klo Wrist Warmers or shop for the materials needed for the Traditional Christmas Ball.
Shopping ahead of time will ensure that you have the best experience possible, as the day of the workshop will be very busy in the store & there will not be time to shop or complete the homework before the class.
