Not back to school

Play time

Plenty of time to watch the birds. Stinky and Magoo




naughty knitting guard ready to attack my Addi or Option Cables. I have had to file chew marks.





So it is back to school time except for me. My sisters and my daughter all started teaching yesterday.Not me! I am home enjoying the wonderful weather, sleeping in, playing with the pets and making my own agenda. Life is good.




Today work will be on the baby sweater but think the gauge is all off. The width of it is too small but I am hoping to block it wider? Just when my knitting confidence gets up there it all goes out the window. I really did a gauge sample with my knitting class instructor last week .She had me do a garter sample and this is all stockinette. Could that be the reason?



This weekend is the Pa fiber Festival and then on Sept 15 it is Knitter's Day Out.
I went to this last year .So much learning and a good deal. It only cost 45$ . An excellent assortment of vendors are there for shopping . My sister lives in Lancaster so we commute from there so more money to shop. . Our classes this year are Bavarian Knitting with Beth Walker-O"Brien and Double Knitting with Linda Montgomery. I might be overly challenged with the Bavarian one? Not being able hear at these classes does cause some frustration but my patient sister is there to help.
