Knitting with Hand Dyed Yarn Event
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 9:55PM
So, on Sunday, I taught a class at The Yarn Spot in Wheaton, MD.
What a lovely shop in every way -- I highly recommend a visit. The staff was very warm and inviting, the environment cheery, and the selection well edited. I saw many things that were unique -- this is not just another yarn shop carrying the same four lines of yarn that you see everywhere. This is but a small part of the store -- it's quite spacious.
There was food, good food. The shop owner, Victoria, even asked me ahead of time if I had any special dietary restrictions.
I thought that was very kind of her. I wish I had some dietary restrictions. I fear I suffer from a lack of dietary restriction in general. I should have said something like, "Yes, I only eat celery and rutabagas." But then when I arrived, they could've laughed and called me a liar, because I obviously have no such restrictions, as was evidenced by the very ample bottom that was photographed many times Sunday evening.
I will spare you the pictures. Suffice it to say my skirt appears as though it could provide shelter in the wilderness for a small party of explorers. Lewis and Clark, maybe.
The attendees could not have been more gracious. They chuckled at the appropriate times and raised their hands to ask questions. I did not have to call security or call anyone's mother. I hope they got something out of the class, something other than a view of me doing this:
Or this:
I'm not quite sure what I'm doing here, but it looks amusing. Perhaps the students were slightly amused, maybe that's what they got out of the evening.
Amusement.
Either that, or fear.
It is a bit frightening, truth be told.
I'm sorry.
Now this is what a yarn instructor should look like!
Blurry and perplexing.
All the best instructors are blurry and perplexing.
And they sing opera.
I am quickly moving up the ranks as one of the best instructors, as I am clearly demonstrating my librettos here.
I have something that the other instructors don't have. The ability to quickly swap out one head for another.
It's very convenient, I use this skill often.
We did establish a few other things at the class.
1. Lagoon is beautiful in any kind of weather:
2. So is Cheryl:
3. I need constant supervision.
Thank you all for coming! I wish I had thought to take everyone's picture! I wish we could've stayed longer!
Let's do this again sometime!

I can tell from the reflection in the mirror, that store looks huge! Looks like an amazing time, wanna come do one at my house?
My favorite part is seeing Cheryl's sweet smiling face.
Lagoon just glows so much!
"...call anyone's mother." I definitely LOL at that one.
I couldn't for the life of me figure out what kind of mannequin that was back there and guess what? It's a swift. You can tell I don't see those often. LOL
How fun!!!! Maybe on your trek west to Minnesota you should stop here in NW OH! You could teach a class here too :) (and our LYS needs some TIG yarn!!)
Now I'm even sadder that I missed it - looks like it was a great event!
Looked lovely! And Cheryl, you look marvelous baby, just marvelous! :)
I love reading this blog. It not only gives me a history lesson on occasion when I check in, but I often laugh out loud. You truly love yarn, knitting, teaching, commerce and comrades. It is such a joy to follow along. Can't wait to hear of the adventures in the coming months....
I dream about a yarn shop in a barn. I think it's just the right size for my needs.
You should have a lot of fun!
