I was speaking with my grandmother (who follows my blog, Hi Grandma!), and she told me I needed to put the dates with my post about The New England Fiber Festival.  She has a point.  The two classes I’m teaching, “Hairpin Lace Scarf in a Day” and “Crazy Mixed Up Slipped Stitches,” happen on November 2nd.  I hope to see you there!  More information about the classes is on The Big E Website.

A month or two ago, Sockupied returned my samples of Totem to me.  I put them away, thinking it would be good to keep the three socks nice, but today, in impulse, I had to get them out for something else, and I decided to wear them.  They feel amazing, though they were made for the model’s foot and not mine, so are a little roomy.  I’m hoping the first time I wash them they’ll tighten up a little.

I’ve a personal pattern that’s days away from being ready to be released.  If you are clever, you might be able to find some sneak peeks of it.  But because I’m nice, I’ll give you a little glimpse:

I’ve been engaged in a lively and enlightening chat on the Designers Forum of Ravelry.  You can find it here.  I’m thinking of writing a blog post to articulate some of my thoughts a little better.
