I haven't really been into my knitting lately. Not sure why, either. I'm pretty busy with Mom move stuff and I'm not as good at sitting still as I used to be, but I still sit sometimes and just do nothing. Maybe my projects aren't interesting enough. Maybe it's the weather being better. Who knows?
I am still excited about some things knitting related. I'm taking an awesome lace class at Black Sheep Gathering with Galina Khmeleva and a beaded knits class with Jill Laski from Ashland Bay Trading Company . I should learn tons and I'm excited for that.
In September, the Knitting Guild of America's (TKGA) fall trade show will be in Portland. Knitting rock stars will be teaching classes at this one. I'll be taking a Tips, Tricks, and Hints class from the fastest knitter/crocheter on the planet, Lily Chin. Every time I see her on Knitty Gritty, even if it's a repeat, I learn something new from her. And I'm taking a class called Cable Sanity with the Knitting Heretic herself, Annie Modesitt. I cannot tell you how excited I am to take something from her. I love her attitude that no knitting is wrong knitting. I just can't wait to meet her. So, that's terribly inspiring!!!
I think it must be my projects...arg! I'm not good at having too many going at once. I already feel guilty that I have socks for a friend, a kimono sweater, a triangular shawl (though not lacy), and a stole (totally lacy) actively on the needles. I really shouldn't cast on something else, but then again, if I don't love what I'm working on, why not move to something else? I just hate having undone things. I don't believe I'll ever go back. Maybe I need a quickie project to get me over the hump. Ugh!
