Summer time and the sewing is easy.........

knit-one-one has been on Adeline Street for a year---kind of amazing. Last summer we were asked to do some workshops for teens. However, we felt we didn't have enough time to get really organized. But this year we are. Boy are we organized!

Here is how it happened:

A few weeks ago we got a phone call from Mindy basically begging us to do
sewing and knitting workshops.
This request was on the heels of similar ones from other knit-one-oners so this time we swung (should that be swang?) into action. Now bear in mind that it is not---not---in my nature to be thinking too far ahead----I mean the summer is ages away, isn't it? No, it is not----especially for busy parents!

and I had been talking about what projects we might include but with Mindy's call we started to refine our choices. Then we leaned on Janice O---who teaches knitting to middle schoolers, and to Cocoknits---- whose Hannah is a high school freshman---to give us their input. And we incorporated everything they suggested. Lots of options. Lots of levels of difficulty. Lots of cool options. Not too many hours. Not too early in the morning. Well you get the idea. Mindy weighed in too so what you see is really a group effort---but then prettty much anything at knit-one-one is that way.

And finally...Nate, my studio mate, had to agree to have groups of pre-teens and teens in the studio. He did. Nate is great.
