knit-one-one is still here!

knit-one-one is still here and so am I! Sorry for the November silence---I just got distracted by all the wonderful knitting and classes that were going on.

We had a fabulous Magical Mystery Knitting Party at the beginning of the month----just look at those cute little apple cosies. Wouldn't they make great holiday decorations too? And you may have figured out that the cosies were the Mystery project. A huge thank you to Casey of Gonna Purl fame for allowing us to use the pattern. I know I have said this before but it bears repeating---knitters are very kind, generous people. The last Magical Mystery Knitting Party of the year is this coming Friday---the last day of the month. Kate and I have been busily e-mailing back and forth with ideas for this "Mystery Project". And no I will not let you know until AFTER the party what the project is----don't even bother asking!

We have also added 3 new instructors to the knit-one-one fold. The photo shoot was a lot of fun as all three were great models. There was much laughter, commentary, and banter between the models, Emily and me throughout the shoot. Amazingly a good time was had by all. I say "amazingly" because for some teachers, the taking of the photos has been their least favorite knit-one-one activity.

Zoe G has been a long-time supporter of knit-one-one and is making her debut with her wonderful dinousaur scarf. Kira is a knitting designer who also manages Art Fibers. Her fabulous Helix Gloves will be her first class here. Susan and I met years ago in the Berkeley Community Chorus. She co-taught the Blooming Bobble bag class and did such a good job that the students in the class suggested that Susan teach crochet regularly. Thank you guys for the great suggestion! We will be adding more crochet classes in the new year---very exciting.
