The Glitter Knitter on the North Shore





Here are some photos from the Northland Division Meeting at the Fitger's Inn in Duluth. Steven spent the morning sharing a fascinating illustrated story of how he began and grew to be the fiber artist he is today. In the afternoon, he shared stash busters and special techniques with the 80 Northern Minnesota Knitters. His creations and creativity inspired one and all.

Getting Ready for a grand Seminar in Duluth


Steven is at Fitger's Inn in Duluth.  


He is presenting to the Northland section of the Minnesota Knitters guild in a few minutes. We will be having 70 Northern Minnesota Knitters for the day.  This is going to be fun and exciting.

Steven, the Glitter Knitter, goes to the source





Have you ever met the source of your yarn?  Have you ever pet the creator of your Angora? Did you miss it?


Steven, Christa - the Senior Glitter Knitter, and Cassidy spent the weekend at the Shepherd's Harvest Festival located at the Washington County Fairgrounds.  They shared the latest and greatest at natural and green fibers with the thousands of Harvest visitors.  Cassidy actually took a couple of the Llama's out for a stroll.  They watched Angora being spun directly off the rabbit.  (It does not hurt the rabbit.) 

Steven said, "It was a grand opportunity to meet yarners and crocheters from Wisconsin and Minnesota that like their craft a bit closer to the source.  They are excited about dropping into the Yarn Garage to get the tools for their craft."

Sharing the Wonders of Fiber Creation





What a great day!!! Today Steven shared the wonders of fiber creation with some of the 10,000 folks who came to the River Center in St. Paul for the American Craft Council Show, he will do the same thing tomorrow at 11 AM at the same place. Just go to the Demo Center.

The wide eyed expressions of the hundreds who view the demo attest to the magic that Steven can perform. Hopefully some of them will drop down to the Yarn Garage for more information and materials.

Renee was also there doing her magic spinning of the yarn and showing others. Renee is our in-house spin expert. She and Angela will be hosting a spin-off next Starbuck's Glitter Knitter Jam on May 12.

This is a not to be missed show. The ACC folks were also very impressed with Steven and his creations.

Caffinated Creative Creation Madness at the Rosemount Starbucks







The Price was Right, the night was wild, we need more room!!! Over 30 Knitter's, Crocheter's, and needle arts fans spent a wild nite of fiber fantasy with Steven Berg at the Rosemount Starbucks tonight.

If you have not yet gotten to the Glitter Knitter Jam at the Rosemount Starbucks the second Monday of every month, do yourself a favor and reserve Monday, May 12th from 6 PM to 9 PM to be there next month.

As a matter of fact, you can always check on opportunities to visit the Yarn Garage and see Steven Berg, the Glitter Knitter, by checking the calendar here.

Steven presented wonders and dream fibers fresh off the road that come in daily. He also gave new instructions for the charity knitting projects for the Glitter Knitter Gang, the Yarn Garage Charity Knitting gang. We had fresh faces, new knitters, and the exciting gang of regular Glitter Knitter fans. Where else in the cities can you spend three hours with a fashion designer and fiber artist like Steven?
