another week
Another week of blankness on the blog. Sigh. Someday I will get less busy again. I had several fun classes to teach this week with kumihimo. Kumihimo is a japanese 8 stranded braid. Very cool stuff and kids think it works like magic. It is always fun to have an excuse to do a little magic.
I had a doctor's appt last week and was once again reminded how I love knitting in public. This is not a new phenomenon. I can sit down in a random public place and no one will even really make eye contact with me and moms will sometimes look at me funny if I smile and wave at their little kids. But this all changes if you have knitting needles in your hands. Suddenly the lady across from me in the waiting room has struck up a conversation (she and her daughter took a knitting class once but decided they liked crochet better) and little kids come over to watch what I am doing and see if they can feel the soft yarn. In the summer time, I often bring a project to Andy's band concerts and I tease him that he is really accompanying my "textile performance art" with his music. You should see the crowd a small weaving loom gathers.
