Pics from the last 24 hours in the k11 studio

Hats from the "beginning" knitters

ghosts from the Magical Mystery Knitting Party

Prototype ghost from Kate


Shortbread from the Shortbread class---just a fraction!

At the Magical Mystery Party last night we made those very cute little ghosts. Janice O was the one who guessed. This morning Kate and I were back in the studio---Kate with the beginning knitters. Although when you see those hats, I don't think we can call them beginners anymore. Welcome to the world of knitting Vicki, Katya and Charise.

I was doing a shortbread class and a very fun, yummy time was had by all. The pics show a small fraction of what we baked. The kitchen worked really well for this class and I am sure it will be a great venue for the Jam class next week too. This will be a great fun too----taught by Jen Hewett of Jen Hewett Studio and Jen and Jake fame!

I have a confession. I really don't like the Fall. And the reason is that I adore the summer and so resist with all my might saying goodbye to it. That's why we haven't changed our windows at knit-one-one. Silly. I know.

Now once winter has arrived, I am fine with it. Well not exactly fine but at least I give in gracefully.

By the time The October Craft Sale arrives, I will have adjusted and even if I haven't, I will still be smiling! Because I love the craft sales. I enjoy finding the crafters, love meeting them, and getting to know them---and their wares. I am thrilled when they all show up and their great stuff fills the studio. And then you arrive and it gets even better!

The October sale has some returning vendors and some new finds. I can't wait to taste Bon Bon Brittle's ---duh--brittle. And Bridget Dolfi is debuting her children's line of clothing----FrancesReid----the cuteness factor is off the charts. My Anzula yarn is coming to us via Petra, And if you look at AmyJoKarn's etsy site her dog portraits are a delight to dog lovers and to the non-dog obsessed too. My friend Steve Davenport has written a fabulous novel and will be on hand to sell it to us. Our returning vendors are back by popular demand---and this is the truth. People liked them so much that they asked me to ask them to come back. And I did.
