Today I have guests. My mother and I went to
knitting camp this year. I am participating in a traveling socks group and the toes I had insisted in going along. Here is their view of knitting camp.
They were very attentive in class. Here they are listening to a lecture on jogless color work.
They helped my out by interviewing potential yarn for a new sweater. They really put this
Icelandic Unspun through the wringer. It will surely become a great sweater.
After they finished interviewing the unspun they celebrated the selection.
They visited the Shetland Islands. An entire table of balls shetland wool! At least one ball of every color in this line. I'm not sure who was more in awe, me or the sock toes.
This is what the toes hope to become when they grow up. They admired all the amazing socks on display.
They saw some lovely baby sweaters. These are
Baby Surprise Jackets, which are not only fun to knit but amazing feats of construction and design.
They also admired this lovely color work. There were also some cool hats, coats, jackets and a lot of very enthusiastic knitters sharing their amazing projects and love of knitting.
This is my third trip and I always come back with new ideas. I have been busy finishing projects and getting busy attempting the new ideas I have to fix patterns and sweaters that just didn't fit like I wanted them to, all thanks to Meg Swansen's Knitting Camp and all the enthusiasm and 'Yes, You Can!' support from all the teachers and fellow knitters.
