Quilt Fest
Yes, I am talking about the BIG Quilt Fest in Hampton that is being held this weekend! Why am I talking about this if Ewe Knit Kits & Yarn is a YARN store? Not only do quilters like to knit, but Lyn Worley, who will be one of our great teachers at KnittaPalooza, 2006 is there and I took a class with her yesterday! NOW, I can say that I have taken classes with all three "long distance" teachers who will be with us this year! Lucy was one of the first teachers with whom I ever took a class. It was in Richmond, VA in the late 90S. Edie came to our local guild a few years ago and I took a class on swatching and the Top 10 Tricks that she will be teaching on Friday (March 31). The class I took with Lyn was How to Design a Sweater. She didn't know I was coming. At the end of the morning, she asked if I had learned anything new. Number 1, believe me, I do not know ALL there is to know about knitting, and Number 2 (and foremost), I always learn something new when I attend a class. We did a lot of talking about short rows and fit among other things. Both most of my customers and I do not always fit the shape of a perfect model. We sometimes would like to make changes to the fit of some patterns we knit. This class was a great experience and a lot of fun! Come one, come all and we can work on shape of some of your designs. I don't know it all, but we can always check with the expert if I need additional information! AND, Lyn is a lot of FUN. If you live close enough and would like to meet Lyn (she is in Booth #314) and see a wonderful Quilt Show, go to Hampton either today or tomorrow and have a great time!
A bus load of Quilters from Texas will be visiting Ewe Knit Kits & Yarn today. They traveled to this wonderful part of the world for this special weekend and are spending their afternoon in Virginia Beach visiting needlecraft stores:o) Can't wait to meet everyone!
