Sigh...

Well, the Stitches East 2007 brochure arrived in yesterday's mail, and
by the time I sat down at the computer to register, only an hour later,
half the classes I wanted were already sold out! I expected the Lily
Chin ones to be, but jeez. I finally managed to snag ONE Friday
afternoon class. Oh well, I find myself googling for some of the class
subjects, like Japanese short rows, and there are lots of good web sites
out there with detailed instructions and pix, e.g.:

http://nonaknits.typepad.com/nonakni...se_short_.html

Should we have pity ,,,or should we be jealous about that ????

More likely you should teach at Stitches. They pay based on the number of
students that take the class. If a lot of students want to take particular
instructor's class, the instructor ends up being well paid.

In any case, register and have them send you the Brochure (
http://www.knittinguniverse.com/xrx/events/brochure.php) The list of classes
is worth looking at just to know what people are interested in.

Class Title: Where Do They Get Those Numbers?
Teacher: Edie Eckman
Skill Level: Intermediate
Description: Take the mystery out of those pesky math calculations you
have to do when designing or altering a sweater. Math-phobics are
welcome, and you don’t have to raise your hand in class. Draft a basic
sweater and discuss calculating yarn amounts, V-neck shaping, rates of
increase/decrease, stitch pattern placement, and re-engineering a pattern.


This is something I really need a step-by-step class w/a patient teacher
for.

Am now pining for my needles as I type 1-handed; cellulitis (@#$% spidr
bite) has immobilized right hand -- hope only a few days more.

That sounds like a great class! I hope it is small enough so you get lots
of one-on-one time. And I hope your hand gets better soon! That sounds
scary. Has it happened to you before? You are taking it much better than I
would.

I used to go just to shop in the sales room. I've never taken any
classes there. My stash is so big now that I'd better not go shop there
this year! I'm already at S.A.B.L.E.

Ouch! Take good care of that cellulitis, it can be lethal.
Watch out for sudden fevers, it's easy to not notice them in this
hot weather.
