...and then there was Thursday

Thursday was more classes and more yarn and some not photograph-able stuff involving water, knitting needles and possibly some SCUBA gear...

Then there was this, which I think qualifies as actual yarn pron because it's a photo shoot on a flakati rug (looks like a sheep skin but not a skin, just wool felted on one side)...

It is our Sock Camp yarn, especially dyed for us *sigh*

OK, I'm back. So, I must say I enjoyed every class I took. I enjoyed each of the teachers and all that they had to bring to the table. Being a teacher myself, I earnestly felt that each of them brought their best...that having been said, I learned so much in JC's class that my mind almost melted...face it, if the Yarn Harlot says that she wants to take your class, it's gotta be good :) It was all about casting-on. Any of this information can probably be found anywhere on the net or at your local yarn shop but collected all together with her fabulous, "assume the position" thing (it's hysterical, it involves giant knitting needles and 17 feet of wild acrylic i-chord in neon green and save-your-local-hunter-orange), was wonderful...it's possible then that this was a good thing because I was in a semi-exhausted state and may have been more open to new ideas. Therefore, my ability to grasp the wonderfully out-of-the-box ideas in Cat Bordhi's class must have been expanded and it all just made perfect sense. It was almost eerie...I totally made a tiny Coriolis sock and I felt like I just got the whole, thing...it was awesome--there maybe some recall issues though...hmmm, maybe I did melt something I might have needed :) And to prove it, I can't remember if the, "you can knit with anything" event was for sure Thursday but I'm pretty sure...maybe it was Wednesday, but since I couldn't take pictures of the swimming event, here ya go...I will tell you this, the gal in the black shirt is a vegetarian and yes, she's been asked to knit with a meat stick...mull that over for a minute and you'll know what the definition of 'good sport' means...

Now that I think about it, I'm sure that the knitting thing was Wednesday...and that's Hot Flash and the Stephanie trying to help Claire knit with a tiny plastic hanger that was all hook and no hanger...

But, there were no photographs allowed for the underwater knitting portion so you get this and my trying to help you create a picture in your head...several beautiful knitters, with excellent sportsmanship, taking to the water...wait, it's coming...to practice... the time honored art of ...underwater knitting. It was declared that mayhaps, we were privy to the only group (cluster? bevy? murder?) of underwater knitters, maybe anywhere.

Next: charity, yodeling, monkeys, and Dinginess crab...oh yeah, you know you're jealous...
