Cables

helen — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 21:12:34 +0000

I can get lost in cabling – the more complicated, the better as far as I am concerned. Bring it on!

I am offering two cable workshops in September and October. If you want to expand your cabling skills give me a call.

We will start off simple and get as complex as you like. You control the speed you want to learn at and I will be there to give you tips and instructions and generally to cheer you on. Maybe you can even design your own cables.

Previous machine knitting experience necessary (main bed and ribber).

See schedule for details.

Any one who has spent more than a couple of hours at The Knitting School knows I like as good mix tape.

I have spent the last hour hanging out at the ITunes store and have come up with some new tunes.

I am calling the collection “Where’s the Effing Sun” because, well, that is what I have been wondering a lot of the time.

Bon Iver – holocene

Cass McCombs – county line

Destroyer – chinatown

Great Lake Swimmers – everything is moving so fast

Merz – moi et mon camion

Great Lake Swimmers – palmistry

Andrew Bird – oh no

Sean Hayes – calling all cars

JayMay – sea green see blue

Brett Dennen – ain’t no reason

Brandi Carlile – turpentine

Brett Dennen – she’s mine

Clem Snide – our time will come

A A Bondy – mightiest of guns

Zee Avi – monte

Vanessa Carlton – paradise
