Good News, Bad News and Great News!

***
First, the bad news: My Continental Knitting class at Got Yarn, scheduled for this Sunday, has been postponed because instructor Nancie Wiseman is recuperating from surgery. I'm a little disappointed, but I'll survive -- perhaps it wasn't the right time for me to attempt learn that technique. Here's hoping Nancie is feeling better soon and on her way to a speedy recovery!

Now, the good news: A reminder regarding the new Lily Chin knitting show, Stitchcraft on Oxygen network, starting this Sunday, at 3pm. And if you can see beyond the Lily brou-ha-ha and can't wait until Sunday for a Lily fix, you can watch her crochet a sweater in an hour for Dave Letterman by clicking the picture below:

Finally, the Great News: At long last, I was able to go knit at Barnes & Noble's cafe with one of our local knitting groups , better known as "TNK" (for "Tuesday Night Knitters"). What a pleasure it was to meet Jane and everyone -- such a large group! I know I don't remember everyone's names, but I will someday! Everyone was incredibly nice and I had a blast. I very much look forward to the next time I'm able to attend, and I can't wait to get to know everyone better!

Proof that I attended:

I love how the mural right above Jane's head says "Trollope". We will take the high road and assume that the mural is a picture of the novelist, and wasn't meant to be a negative descriptor for Jane! ... ;-)

Ooo boo hoo about the Nancie Wiseman class. But Yea!!! about TNK.

Do you crochet? If so, you'll find continental knitting very easy to learn.
