I'm so excited to be going out to Seattle this weekend, seeing an old high school friend (and attending her concert -- Esoterics) and teaching at the Nordic Knitting Conference held at the Nordic museum in Ballard. Are you local? Come on out and join us!
If you are an attendee, or just come by for the marketplace, bring a swatch of knitting that you might want to use in a yarn bomb. This is, hopefully, the last year the conference will be at this locale, as the museum has broken ground on a new building. Let's make the old one bright with textured color!
I'm so glad that my little stockings have come home again after being sent off and photographed for PieceWork!

I have them home, now, and I think they'll only ever look at home if whomever wears them straps a couple scrubbing brushes to the soles and skates off to make housework less mundane.
A week ago, I taught my Irish Crochet class at the Sheep's Clothing in Valparaiso, Indiana. What a great group of women!
Some were quite experienced, third-generation crocheters who finished the project twice in the evening; some were also experienced at the smaller gauge crocheting.
Some were having fun doing something they'd never done before, or experiencing a different aspect of crochet than that which they were comfortable with. You know what? They all left with a rose of their own making!
