A Somewhat Finished Project

I really think I have a case of ADHD.  It seems the older I am getting the worse it is.  I have not finished a project in a long time.  I think part of it is I have a couple of big projects going on right now.  I dug out the Knotty Glove I started on awhile back and finished the right hand today.  I also started working on the left one.  Hopefully I can get it done soon.  I love it when something gets finished.  I'm almost there.





Here is a close up of the cable pattern.

Winter Woolfest

I may try to go to the Winter Woolfest in Wamego, KS this coming weekend.  There are several classes that look like they would be fun to take, and the classes are FREE!


Here are the classes that I am interested in taking:

Look Mom, I'm Backward Knitting- No, this is not criticism...it is
actually knitting in reverse.  Can you imagine never having to turn your work
and purl again?  Oh, joy! -
with Stepheny and Robert "the Dynamic Duo" Beine
Konichi WA?? Deciphering Japanese Knit & Crochet Patterns-
The designs are spectacular and innovative and...in Japanese!  Figure out how to
translate these stunning designs.  This class is for both knitters and crocheters!!
Students will need two coordinating colors of worsted weight yarn and size E
hook or US7 needles -
with  Barbie "Subarashii" Anderson
Wool is Cool-  Learn how to add bits of unspun wool to your knitting to
create the coziest things ever!  Knit a headband or cowl for the nasty winter you
know is coming!  Students will need 100g of a heavy worsted/aran yarn and 2oz of
merino combed top (there will be some available for purchase). -
with Nikol "Super
Cozy" Lohr


Cottage Knitting- You've seen them do it - super fast and amazingly
efficient.  Now learn this knitting secret weapon yourself and whip through your
projects at lightning speed!  Or at least look super cool while doing it...Students
should bring 14" or longer, straight needles with appropriate weight yarn. -

Marla "Lightning" Holt
Crochet Techniques for Amigurumi- Learn all you need to know
to create those amazing and fun amigurumi!  Starting with a brilliant, new way
to make a magic circle,  you'll crochet a fantastic little mushroom (aww!).  Please
bring two, coordinating, worsted weight yarns and a Size E hook. -

Building with Blocks- Have you ever wanted to knit an entrelac
garment but got immediately bogged down after your foundation row?  We'll
get you started in the right direction so that any entrelac pattern will be a
breeze!  Please bring yarn and appropriate sized circular needle of at least 24"
length-
