I’ve been bit by the fall knitting bug

I took a community ed. knitting class about 12 years ago during my college days.  I had big plans to knit this fantastic sweater, however my lack of patience and desire for quick results got in the way… hence I ended up with a lonely sweater sleeve.

One thing that hasn’t changed in 12 years is my love for rich colors and scrumptious textures.  So when I stopped by Berkley’s cozy knit shop, Have You Any Wool? and saw Bridgette’s latest project, that tiny knitting bug started whispering in my ear again.

Bridgette wanted to create a textured throw for her living room so she took in a few of her pillows and pulled complimentary yarn colors in a variety of textures.  I love this idea!  It’s far more simple than any sweater sleeve, the constant changing of yarn will keep my ADD at bay, plus I have a feeling it’d be forgiving of my many mistakes.

And lucky for me she’s offering this workshop on Sunday, October 19 at 12:30. 

So I’ll be there rummaging through the many bushels of fabulous fibers. If you have a knitting bug tickling your ear, come join me in my fantabulous fiber adventure.  Bridgette is a blast and good times are sure to be had by all.

Have You Any Wool? is located just a block from our Berkley catching fireflies.
