From Susan — Mock Croc Socks

This is a fun and very cute sock pattern.  The yarn is getting prettier as it starts to change color, which it does very gradually.  You get a lot of texture for not a lot of effort with the pattern stitch.  When will I finish these?  Not for a while.  I want to finish up my Summer Tweed cardigan ASAP, and then have a few other things on the burner.

Summer Tweed is progressing: the back and both fronts are complete.  I don’t know if I have enough yarn for long sleeves, but I have decided to give it a try.  I’ll attempt to knit a full length sleeve and if I can’t make it on 2 skeins, I’ll rip it out and start over.  Extra knitting, but I don’t know what else to do.

The other major knitting-related project that is taking my time and energy is preparing for an all day knitting workshop that I will be doing on April 29 at “Yarnover.”  Yarnover is sponsored by the Minnesota Knitters Guild and is held every year.  It is a lot of fun, and this is the first time I have been asked to teach a class.  My class is called “A Few of My Favorite Things from A to Z” and includes knitting tips, stories, techniques, and projects for every letter of the alphabet.  I’ll share more details after the event because some of the attendees read this blog and I do not want to spill the beans. 

Today my 16 year old and I are going to the American Craft Council Expo — it is a juried show of hand crafts of all types, including some knitting/fiber arts.  The glass, wood, and jewelry items are gorgeous.
