Today I was fortunate enough to attend a day-long sweater fitness workshop with Anne Hanson. As I mentioned yesterday, I felt a little flummoxed after Saturday's fast paced lace workshop, and I was determined to get today's class RIGHT.
First things first, I had my Enabler with me :) That makes things better, no matter WHERE I am.
I also made sure to pack appropriately this time...
Sure, the class description said to bring 50-100 yards of yarn and the pattern for ONE sweater we wanted to knit, but hey... better safe that sorry, right?
I brought my current WIP as well, and got lots of knitting done while waiting for Anne to see us all individually. Sadly, Kate finished her sock fairly early on, so I put her to work winding a large skein of Briar Rose Grandma's Blessing (earmarked for Bel Air, in case you were wondering) I've had marinating in the stash for 3 years...
We even managed to get a wee photo-session in as well!
We photographed Kate's magnificent Gale...
As well as staged a mock-Twilight tribute with the giant Ball o' Yarn Kate wound for me ('cause yes, apparently I AM that big of a dork, heh).
All in all, a most wonderful day. Thanks so much to Anne for making the trip up here, and I look forward to more lovely days spent with my knitting peeps in the very near future.
Happy Knitting Everyone!

wow, it's so wondeful report! thank you for sharing us your great knitting day. :-)
Wow trop cool! Chanceuse. Et où était-ce cet atelier?
Sounds like a more relaxing day than Saturday was.
That ball of yarn is huge!!! Did you have to wind it into a ball on top of the cake? I think that's what it looks like?
Are you casting on for Bel Air as soon as the yellow cardi is done?
What a fabulous way to spend a weekend! Sooooo jealous :)
