Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival. Christmas. I don’t know which I enjoy more.
On Thursday, I took two classes with Lily Chin. What did I learn? I’m still wondering. I took her class on the advise of a friend. I found her to be quite unprofessional. I think she thought she was being “cute”. Even though she was reminded several times by students that there was a child in class, she continued to speak inappropriately. I kept thinking, “I came two days early for this?”
Franklin Habit was a completely different story. He was one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. I learned something new. I got some great ideas. It was over long before I wanted. That evening I made a swatch of the chart I made and I really like it. And, now, I can’t find it.
The afternoon class was on garters and I-cord. That one caused me to look at things differently. It was so nice to really learn something. He also discussed some pocket applications. I hope he comes back.
After class, I walked down to the main hall. I needed some DK yarn and Shelridge always has a wide range of colors. I’ve bought yarn from them several times and never been disappointed.
I realize that these look bland for me, but I have some animals to make.
I also visited my favorite broche person, Liz Printz. One of mine needed some work and she was happy to comply.
And I just had to buy a new one.
