Social Event of the Season
At least it is for those of us who seem to have replaced portions of our brain with fluffy bits of sheep, lama, alpaca and other various fibers. In honor of the occassion, I am finally finishing off my Rogue. Who knew mattress stitching would prove to be so damn intoxicating? Pulling the string and watching the little rows line up so neatly. Well, it gives me chills.
Lately I have been giving a lot of thought to my desire to grow in my knitting, spinning and other fiber pursuits. I feel a bit stuck. There are things that I want to do, ideas in my head, but I don’t know how to get from the conception of the idea to the materialized actuality. Partly, I realize, it must involve some experimentation, but also something more than that.
If there is one thing I have discovered in my life, it is that teaching is often the greatest path to learning. So, with that in mind, I have organized a little class of would-be knitters (and a crocheter or two) at work. Just doing my part to spread the gospel according to fiber.

You are doing the world good, one knitter/crocheter at a time!

Hi Rachel!
Just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to meet you at Rhinebeck. I’ve now bookmarked your blog to my Favorites list. Email if you want the poop on Philadelphia (so to speak).
