I never get tired of teaching this class! So far, my students have included "true" beginners, knitters who are learning to knit (again) and one memorable mom who had a great time taking the class with her knitter daughter. 

If you're not a beginner, but want to take a class with me, check out my list of where I'm planning to teach. 

HUGE Class Sale This Weekend on Craftsy, Including Susan B. Anderson's Wee Ones

This post contains affiliate links, which help me keep my blog up and running - thanks for the support!

I had a great time selling books at Yarnover. However, one of the drawbacks of selling is that I couldn't take any classes!

I heard from one of the students that Susan B. Anderson's class about making stuffed animals was really fun. I love her work, so even though I haven't taken her Craftsy class on Seamless Knit Toys, I highly recommend it!

I love that the patterns don't involve seams. A lot of knit toys involve seams for structure and aesthetic reasons - but I still don't like to sew seams.

There's a whole other reason to at least check out her class - from today to May 11, every single Craftsy class is on sale. (The banner at the top of this blog would be a great way for you to get to them.) Plus, Craftsy has a money-back guarantee. If you don't like it, you don't have to keep it!

Although this post is sponsored, all opinions are my own. But, you already knew that!

Glasses

I used to wear glasses. Then, I wore contacts. I've been back to glasses full-time since I had the shingles. (Was that 4 years ago? 3? I know it had to be fewer than 5 and more than 2.)

My twin sister and I called it "the Clark Kent effect." If we were together and one of us wore glasses in public and the other one didn't, NO ONE asked us if we were twins. If we both did or both didn't, at least one person would ask if we were twins. 

Yes, just about every time! People are very curious about the diversity of their gene pool, I suppose!

So, I decided to show my current true self to the world and wear my glasses for my Craftsy class. It kept me looking like "me" and saved me from gouging my own eyes out because I tried to wear contacts for three days straight for the first time in over well over 2 years. 

I've never minded glasses. I only preferred contacts because glasses can be a little annoying to use if, like me, you tend to smudge your glasses if you use them along with a camera. I'm not a newspaper photographer anymore, so if I smudge my glasses, I have time to clean them!

Wednesday Night French Class + A BIG Coincidence

Bien sûr, I had to ask my teacher: "Comment dites-vous 'knitting'?"

:)

Also, and how's this for coincidences, besides my niece and myself, there are TWO other people who have identical twins in our class of fewer than a dozen people!

Twins of the world, unite! Et étudier le français!
