The sun shone today. Winnie took advantage by sleeping in sunny spots all day. Heat loving cats in Seattle quickly learn to exploit any sunshine.
May 17th through the 20th, Churchmouse Yarns and Teas hosts Sally Melville in 7 workshops over 4 days. I signed up for all of them.
This evening I sat down and knitted up all the homework swatches.
I rarely procrastinate on this kind of thing -- on other kinds of things, yes, but not on class swatches. Still, even for me this is working way ahead.
The fact is, I head out of state on the 8th and will fly back for the 4 days of these classes.
I've wanted to take classes from Sally for years. She's a professor who studies methods of learning and has a reputation as an excellent teacher. I come from a family of teachers.
Also, I think of these classes as reward for and part of my return to knitting after more than a year (maybe two) away.
I'm so excited.
These swatches also got me thinking about my swatching style. I'm a swatcher. I'll write more about my thoughts on this tomorrow.
