I may just have to Crochet

After seeing this I think that I might just have to pull out my crochet hooks again. I was taking a look at the spring issue of this I think srochet is cool again . In other news I have started a sweater. It is a top-down short sleeved reglan. I am using this pattern as it is just my size. I am planning on using the edge design from the Pink Frosting pattern to make it unique. I am doing it in Tatamy Tweed in Lime Tweed from Kramer yarns. I really like the way it is knitting up and I am Using What I Have. I will be teaching a class tomorrow on the Cheveron and Feather Stitch pattern I have 5 signed up but I will take 7 so I am not sure what is going to happen, I love teaching this pattern because it is fun to see it come together. I always start the class by letting them make two swatches on size #8 and #10 needles so that they can see the diffrence in each and decide on the one that they prefer. I use a verigated yarn to show off the rows. I will post a picture of the swatch after the class. On the spinning side of things, I am now processing 20 lbs of Llama fiber and I really have my work cut out for me because it is dirty and I don't mean just dirt I mean veggie matter and wood chips. At least I am getting paid for this work. A lady came in my shop and asked if I would take it and spin it for her and I said yes prior to checking out the fiber (my bad). But it is carding up good. I hav a set of small hand cards, so I have my work cut out for me. I will give an update.
