LYS


I am in such a good mood because I got to spend my evening with one of my favorite people~ Rachel-Marie! She is teaching knitting classes at Lancaster Yarn Shop and we started a fingerless glove tonight. I'm knitting it for Caroline, who loves purple. Rachel-Marie knew that so she made this yarn for me (called "Bethany's Violet Riot"!) with purples and a little sparkle thrown in there! We could talk all night! She also showed me where she downloads podcasts so I'm getting a little more tech savvy while getting crafty too!

Here's Rachel-Marie in a candid shot (sorry, none of me... I hate having my picture taken!!!!):
 
If you ever come to visit Lancaster (or you live here!!), you have to come down to Gallery Row and check out LYS!!  Wendy carries the nicest yarns, especially Rachel-Marie's (I call myself her yarn groupie!) and it is always a fun place to be! Plus, you may see me there! ;)
 


I can't wait until my next class! Thanks R-M!!!

I wish I lived closer...that looks like so much fun! I tried to find knitting classes here in Lebanon, but the one place that had them closed. Maybe when the kids are a bit older I can make the trek at night...

Great minds must think alike! I just bound off one of the pair of fingerless mittens. I am making them for the Big Guy just using scrap yarn here at the house. Your yarn looks much more interesting. I am not sure he will wear them. Who knows! It may be warm by the time I finish the mate. Have fun at your class!
