…so I expect I should update my LJ too!<\/p>\n
I decided to take a knitting class called “Beyond Beginners” to brush up on some skills. The class started tonight. So far, I’ve learned zippo. I think I’m a little beyond “Beyond Beginners,” but I’m hopeful that by the end of the course some new techniques may come to light. They better. I’m payin’ $45 bucks for this and missing my daughter’s bedtime one night a week.<\/p>\n
It’s an interesting class because it’s taught by my 8th grade English teacher. We always had a great relationship, both of us being fairly free spirits. Of course, I keep slipping up and calling her Ms. Prater instead of her first name. Old habits die hard!<\/p>\n
All three of my yarn auctions sold on eBay. Not at much above the minimum, but they sold, and that’s good enough for me. So I’ll be getting back a little bit of scratch. Which is good, because I bid on a swift. It’ll about balance out, if I win that auction.<\/p>\n
With extra work in DR and many projects lined up for family members, I’m not sure that I’ll have enough bags to put on a respectable table at Simucon. I’ll evaluate again in a week or so. The current bag is going pretty quickly. However, I do think it’d be a great idea to have a stitch ‘n’ bitch at Simucon! I’m thinking about bringing extra needles and old skeins of acrylic yarn to teach anyone who wants to learn and give them supplies to take home. It’d be fairly informal, not like an official seminar. I’m not sure if folks would be interested, though.<\/p>\n
