NOTICE: Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, I am putting any travel and appearances temporarily on hold until it is safe and legal to do so. I am willing to discuss the details of and make plans for future appearances to be held at a tentative date whenever it may be possible.

Sponsorships
I recommend you seek sponsors (such as local businesses) to cover these costs. If one or more sponsors cover this cost, they will receive recognition, either verbally and/or in print. Those who attend lecture and take class will receive either verbal mention or printed flyers naming and advertising sponsors.

Since knitting these sweaters is time-intensive and each one takes on average about a month to produce, a sufficient amount of time is required to prior to appearance in order to produce sweaters.
Payment schedule
25% of fees are due around the time the appearance is arranged and the remainder upon arrival in location of appearance.
