Some weeks take forever, and you feel like you aren’t getting anywhere.\u00a0 This was not one of those weeks!\u00a0 My new Craftsy class, “Simply Stunning Colorwork” debuted and took off like a rocket.\u00a0 We already have several really great discussions going, people are excited about the class and sharing their own tips, and I could not be happier.<\/p>\n

While you at Craftsy, check out my friend Lorilee Beltman’s new class, “Continental knitting”.\u00a0 Click HERE<\/a> for more information.\u00a0 I’ve signed up, and hope to start the class next week.\u00a0 Lorilee is a great teacher, and we can always improve our speed and efficiency if we practice and pay attention.\u00a0 It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut, and I am determined not to do that.<\/p>\n

I also heard from Kate Bachus that the Astoria Sock KAL kits are selling well! She is going to have to get busy dying and assembling the mini-skein kits.\u00a0 We are both thrilled at the positive response.\u00a0 I know you will be even more enthusiastic when you see the kits and start to knit your own spirals!\u00a0 I sent the actual socks to Kate, and she will have them in the A Hundred Ravens booth at Vogue Knitting Live next weekend.\u00a0 So if you will be there, check them out.\u00a0 And, click HERE<\/a> to get a kit if you haven’t, yet!<\/p>\n

As if all that wasn’t enough, I found time this week to work on Bill’s sweater, the Duxbury Point Pullover, and am up to the armholes on the front.\u00a0 I’ve already knit the back, so in my mind, I am almost finished.\u00a0 Hear me out.\u00a0 I will be shaping the collar for the front, which lessens the knitting.\u00a0 And, then I just have the sleeves, which have less complex patterning.\u00a0 OK, OK, there is still plenty to do, but I will definitely finish the sweater this time :)<\/p>\n

This weekend I will be starting to prepare for teaching in February, at Madrona Fiber Arts<\/a> and Stitches West<\/a>.\u00a0 A lot of my classes are full, but there are many fantastic classes to take.\u00a0 I have some work to do, re-knitting samples and demos that have gotten worn out or gone missing.\u00a0 So I will be working on those in the next few days.\u00a0 Every class is a fresh experience for me, and I want to make them better and better over time.\u00a0 I love to teach knitting!<\/p>\n
