you know you want to.
Saturday, June 26, 2010 at 7:56AM You know you want to come to the class I am teaching Saturday, July 17th. It's in Stillwater, MN, a beautiful old town nestled in the bluffs along the St. Croix River. Stillwater is about 20 miles east of St. Paul, and darn. knit. {anyway} is an adorable and welcoming shop. I encourage you to visit even if you can't make it to this event.
The class is from 10-1, and includes a light lunch and yarn samples. We'll have time for practice, questions, and perusing the special yarns I am planning to bring with me. This class is for knitters of all levels, from beginner to advanced
I am a former high school teacher, and promise you that the class does not involve me speaking at you for three hours in a monotone voice while you fall asleep in the back row. It may, however, include impressions, accents, and humor -- I can't help it, I'm not even aware that I'm doing it anymore.
To register, you can email darn. knit. {anyway} at info@darnknitanyway.com, or you can give them a call at 651. 342. 1386 -- they will be happy to help you. Space is limited, so please call as soon as possible to reserve your spot. Visit the shop's website at www.darnknitanyway.com
Bring a pair of size 7 needles for the practice portion of the class, or you can purchase needles at the shop.
Here's the event flyer -- and yes, my hair is back to blonde now.
I can't wait to see you!

I would so love to be there!!! One of these years I WILL participate in one of your classes!!!
I wish I still lived in St. Paul, so I could come! I love Stillwater, and your class sounds great!
So how do they pronounce St. Croix in Minnesota? In this part of the world it's butchered and is pronounced "St. CROY". Croy.... I kid you not.
Jennifer, I have lived in MN for 29 years and never heard St. Croix pronounced any other way than "St. Croy"! I wonder if there are any French speakers out there who can tell us the correct way?
something like saehnnhh crrrroah.
rhymes with french "trois."
roll the rrrrs.
final "t" in saint is silent.
cross is feminine
so it should be sainte-croix, aka ste. croix.
in which case the "t" would be sounded.
y'all weren't thinking Crocs like the shoes, were you (?)
