Spokane Days

Here I am in Spokane, and I'm having a great time. Yesterday I taught the Back to School vest from Fitted Knits. Thursday night we had the Luxury Night, with yummy to eat food and yummy to touch yarn. Today I'm teaching a private lesson about a double-knitted scarf and then a class on the Fiber Trends Ribbons Blanket. It should be a lot of fun. As always, I get here to the shop and see so many beautiful new yarns and models, and my head feels like it's going to explode from all the things I want to knit. I really love the new little Tulips sweater from Dream in Color. It's a simple but darling design using a fantastic hand-dyed superwash wool. I'm also loving seeing a lot more vests around, including a Bunny vest and a cabled Donegal Tweed vest that just arrived from Tahki. Let's see...what else? Apparently our floors are now refinished, and I'm anxious to see those. Dad is coming over this week to help with Phase II of the home improvements, so in about a week we'll actually be able to start really moving in. I think it will feel surprisingly like finally assembling a sweater that's been sitting around in pieces for a while. Only bigger. And not quite so soft.
