Class

Tonight was part one of the Market Bag class in Mt. Horeb. I got late out from work/traffic was slow getting out of Madison. Called Rebecca, one of the store owners, and she said no problem as I was the only one signed up for class. Quick stop to Culvers for supper (love the snack packs!) and then onto The Cat and Crow. Quickly picked out yarn and while I ate supper, Rebecca started winding the yarn for me. Apparently linen yarn is cantankerous and was rather reluctant to be wound.

She was still working on winding the yarn by the time I finished (no I didn't inhale my food). We both worked on unraveling things with Rebecca helping customers from time to time. Eventually got the yarn wound and cast on but didn't get too far due to above mentioned details and the fact that was having a good time talking with another lady who came to knit and sharing some recipes.

Guess Rebecca was feeling rather bad about the yarn winding as she gave me some left over linen yarn she had in the green I wanted to buy/use for the band and strap (or could it be she dreaded winding more of the linen yarn?). She also gave me a break on the class price so that was a nice surprise!

Speaking of classes, have signed up for all five of the Sally Melville classes in April at Woodland Studios (credit card is feeling the pain of that one) and really would like to sign up (and did sign up) for classes at The Cat and Crow. First is a drop spindle class and next is a sweater design class. Found a childs sweater in the Interweave magazine that was oh so conveniently sitting on coffee table where we were knitting tonight that will be my sweater design project. More on that later. If the sign up sheet would have been ready tonight for the two color knitting classes, would have signed up for that as well. Knowing me, next week when I go back for part two of MB class, there will be one more student in this class as well.

Hmmm there was also the photography class at The Cat and Crow...
