Hi! I’m Diane L. Augustin and I am Yarn Happy - Bead Happy*

Check out my Quick Projects Bundle for projects you can make in no time. Thanks. Enjoy!

I teach knitting, crocheting and Tunisian crochet classes at yarn shops and art centers in the Minneapolis/St. Paul/St. Croix Valley area. One of my passions is knitting and crocheting with beads.
I have classes at Knitting from the Heart, Darn Knit Anyway, White Bear Center for the Arts and the Textile Center. I often conduct workshops and demonstrations at special events and festivals in the area.

I have been teaching professionally for over ten years. My background as a graphic artist in the publishing industry facilitates my ability to design, write, produce and publish my patterns. I am also the photographer. I continuously develop new designs, offering them as classes, with a focus on techniques.

I learned to knit continental style at seven years old from my grandmother, who had to teach me in order to get her own knitting back from me! I live in western WI, just outside of Hudson, with my husband, Lance and the bosses of the household, Alex & Rosie, a brother and sister team that keeps us on our toes.
I hope my designs will become your favorites. I am Yarn Happy Bead Happy!

I taught Introduction to Tunisian Crochet at Vogue Knitting LIVE! in Minneapolis.

My patterns are featured on Urth Yarns, Knitting Fever and Malabrigo websites.

I have had the great pleasure of being the featured designer in the publication, Knitability, one of the many offerings of Bakery Bears Productions, which has just been published. It was a wonderful experience and I am humbled and thankful to have been included. Thanks so much!

Thanks for your interest!
Please Enjoy!
Diane
