This colorway was suggested by last year’s attendees! Join me as we hand-paint a skein of sparkling, luxury baby Alpaca, silk, cashmere blend yarn to resemble a night sky ablaze with the Aurora Borealis. Glittering stellina fibers (super soft and not at all irritating, even on baby-sensitive skin) are spun into the yarn giving it a glittery, shimmering sparkle. (65% baby alpaca/20% silk/10% cashmere/5% silver stellina) Be sure to check out all of this year’s classes: Party Playdate, Arctic Lights, Caribbean Sunset, GenCon-trails, and Sunset Stripes! (All materials, supplies, and safety equipment will be provided by the instructor. Please note: We will be working with active dyes, so please do be mindful of your clothing. Dark-colored, cotton clothing is recommended. The instructor is not responsible for stains, you’ve been properly warned.)

A unique game by Ryan Laukat about building a new town with heavy exploration and story elements. Worker placement, resource management, and a dose of choose-your-own-adventure.
Description:
A mashup of town-building and storytelling where you and up to three friends compete to build the best village above and below ground. In the game, you send your villagers to perform jobs like exploring the cave, harvesting resources, and constructing houses. Each villager has unique skills and abilities, and you must decide how to best use them. Will you send Hanna along on the expedition to the cave? Or should she instead spend her time teaching important skills to one of the young villagers? A great cavern lies below the surface, ready for you to explore; this is where the storytelling comes in. When you send a group of villagers to explore the depths, one of your friends reads what happens to you from a book of paragraphs. At the end of the game, the player with the most well-developed village wins!
