Lace Knitting with Ann Hanson of Knitspot

 

Wow, what a blast! 

Ann is an amazing teacher, and her patterns are outstanding! It was two days of fun and knowledge gathering.  I won't say I'm an expert now, so don't ask me for advice.  See that lady down in the left-hand corner?  That's Cathy, she's the expert.  Ask her.  (Just kidding Cathy! Sorry, no link, 'cuz she'll kill me, really, she's like that. Hee!)

As you can see Ann needed a few tips on proper lace blocking so the big pic in the middle is me showing her how to do it right. And, also, I am a ham. But you knew that, right?

What was interesting is that these ladies in these pictures can be the LOUDEST, funnest (word?), hilarious women I know. But, in this class there was a lot of thinking going on, and a whole lotta quiet. 

I've found that I have a slight problem.  I can't knit lace.  But, that's ok!

Now, if you want to knit some of Ann's patterns go to Knitspot - her stuff is great!  She's got sweaters, shawls, wraps, and all kinds of scarves, mittens and hats.  Love it all.  Now, I just gotta practice my lace! Check it all out HERE

For family and friends who are curious: My back is doing GREAT!  I do NOT want to do the shot now (this week) because I only have twinges now and again.  But, I've been warned that it's just gone to sleep a bit, and it will come back AGAIN with a vengeance... Ah yes, being almost 43 has it's advantages.  

 

That's it for tonight folks. 

Talk to you soon!

Looks like you all had a great time. I see Christie and Judy, fun ladies. I hope your back improves. Maybe the shot will give your body an advantage over time. Good luck.
