More Knitting???

Well, of course more knitting. It was an all knitting weekend. On Sunday I had another great class by Sally Melville, fabulous knitter, designer & teacher. I learned how to weave in the ends of a contrasting color while I knit. Not thrilling you say? Well it was for me. Almost life changing, I may say. She taught us about stripes that aren't stripes. Very cool. I am looking forward to putting her favorite stitches into practice. Like the Yarn Harlot, Sally flew out from Toronto to be with us. Below are pictures of her teaching in a couple of her own creations.




The pictures don't do them justice. The colors and textures are absolutely delicious. & I came home with 3 of her books autographed. The color one was about the class. & then I bought her "knit stitch book" (currently on loan to Stacee) & her "purl stitch book" (currently on loan to Marilyn). All I can say girls is keep on knitting!!!
