I will be headed out in the 99 degree heat in just a little while to go to a knitting class at Motif, the Magical Mobius class. The lady that owns Motif took a class from the one and only Cat Bordhi to learn how to knit the Magical Mobius, and just started teaching this class this summer. I have been trying to take one of Karen's classes (especially the entrelac class) for a year now and this is the first one that I have been able to work it out so that I could go. I got Tanya to work for me today. I am hoping that Robin manages to come, but that is iffy since her son is mowing grass for relatives in Salem this morning, and they have to come all the way back. Ronda is supposed to come - Bonnie is coming in to work early for her today so, but she will just be coming in squeaking under the wire before the class starts at 2pm. It goes from 2 to 4. Yesterday after work I went by there and chose my yarn and paid for my class and of course, had to use my sock coupon! For socks I bought these:
love the little bit of glitter in this one!
love Noro anything!
and for my yarn choice for my Magical Mobius class, there is this:
glitter and fluff and ribbons and fabulous!
I am really excited about the class! I hope Robin and Ronda can make it OK. I enjoyed sitting in the shop after work yesterday. It is such a nice and quiet and relaxing environment, so much different than the one I had been in all day long. I wouldn't mind making a habit of stopping there and knitting something after work on Thursdays for a while. Unfortunately, Thursday is the only day that she is open past 4pm. I have been trying to convince some people at work that we should go somewhere like B&N or Givens Books or somewhere with a nice quiet coffee shop and sit and knit one day after work, but everyone is so busy. Maybe when the weather cools off and vacations are over and the kids go back to school. I think I'm going to head over there a bit early. Gonna soak up some more of that relaxing atmosphere!
