Yarn Fun...
And, it's not me! I still continue to struggle with my asthma, so there hasn't been a whole lot of knitting going on. Though I have been doing a lot of teaching! I had Knitting Camp last week, in addition to a Cables class. This weekend I teach Fixing Mistakes & Beginning Hats. My Teen & Tween Class also finished a (very ambitious 30 panel!) blanket for one of the members of our class who is moving back to her native England. And Guild Night was this week, too. So, as this picture demonstrates, though it may not be me, yarn fun continues to be at a premium here at mi casa!

Cathy Ham!
Faithful readers will know that I tend to be start-struck around the knitterati. Need proof? Read my reviews of both Winter & Summer TNNA!
So, this morning, when I got a personal note from the Catherine Ham, thanking me for the review I wrote of her (must have!) 25 Gorgeous Sweaters For the Brand New Knitter that I did for Black Purl Magazine, I was floored!
I have to confess, there are two books that I pull out from my knitting library often, and that usually find their way next to my bedside: The Vogue Ultimate Knitting Book, and 25 Gorgeous Sweaters!
In fact, the very first sweater I made with high-end yarns was from 25 Sweaters. My MIL loved it!
