the knit-one-one studio on adeline street

Here are some pics of the finished studio. They were taken by my friend and classmate, Chris. Chris and I met at the Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center where we took a class in Business Planning. As you can see, he is a great photographer. He specializes in taking photos of spaces and doing portraits of people---he and I meet and exchange tales centering on the joys and vicissitudes of owning your own business!

When we have a big class, we use the studio in the larger layout. When the class is smaller, we swing the bookcase around to divide it into two----it works really well in both configurations.

In a few weeks we are hosting a knitting shower for Vero and Nate who are getting married in Venezuela in May. Nate is my studio mate. He is a structural engineer and works in the loft aerie space weekdays when we are not having classes. We met Vero when she took a class at knit-one-one. When I was looking for a studio mate, she mentioned Nate. Don't you love how the world of connections and connecting work.

But back to the party. Everyone who comes to the shower will knit a square for a blanket which Kate, Carrie and I will then put together. For the beginners we will cast on the stitches and then teach them to knit a garter stitch square. Vero and Nate chose the colors for the blanket---blues, greys and a dash of orange! Guests who knit will arrive with their own needles but we will lend them to the beginners. Of course eating and drinking will take place too. I think the studio will make a fabulous space for this event. And we will remember to take pics so you can see the fun. (Mmmmmm...maybe we should invite Chris-----just kidding!
