Just a brief post to remind anyone who is interested in the Summer Sweater Class at Garden Home — registration for summer term started yesterday morning. (The start of THPRD registration is usually pretty crazy, what with people trying to get their kids into every class under the sun, so I held off a day on the reminder. No one needs to spend extra knitting time on hold.)

Hey, I finally put together a list for What I Want to Knit This Year!
Yeah, well, so what if it's mid-February?
This idea has been kind of nagging at me for a month or so — but what finally prompted me to get it down on paper was an incident last week, when Linda asked, "So what are you knitting for fun?" — after seeing what I was knitting on for work — and I had to say, "Nothing." That, my friends, is a sad state of affairs, and one I thought I ought to rectify. I've gotten started on it, as you can see to the right, although that item happens to be the very last one on the list. You'll have to read ALL THE WAY THROUGH if you want to know what that noise is all about.
On about.com's knitting section, I found a poll for "What are Your Knitting Resolutions for 2009?"
OK, so it's a year out of date, but I figure things can't have changed all that much in a year.

Ho Ho Ho, a belated Merry Christmas to you both and especially, a Happy New Year!
I took an inadvertent holiday break last week, because the post I had slaved over all day Tuesday turned out to have — issues.
The other day I got an email from an old college friend. This guy is pretty much on the cutting edge of technology, and I have an idea that he finds my career change from "engineer" to "knitting teacher" pretty much unfathomable, and probably a little unsettling.
Luna Tee finished!

OK, OK, I admit that in the last post on this subject, I didn't spell out every little detail about exactly how I was going to finish this bad boy off… but then there would be no suspense left for the big surprise ending.
A few posts back, 
I mentioned that I seem to have developed not so much a New Year's Resolution, as an End-Of-Year Resolution: to finish up the last few remaining UFO's in my knitting pile. And so, I've been battling with this one.
The other week, I was teaching a class and, as usual, at the beginning we went around the table and did introductions. Often I ask people to give their name, how long they've been knitting, and then some kind of tidbit about their knitting: maybe their most recent FO, or what they are currently working on.
Good heavens. It’s been a week and a half. I’m a delinquent blogger.
According to the thesaurus, you could also say, "behindhand, derelict, disregardful, heedless, inattentive, indifferent, lax, lazy, negligent, regardless, remiss, slack, thoughtless, uncaring, unmindful".
Sorry gang! I did indeed speak too soon, and the cardigan knitalong will indeed have to be postponed.
In fact, at the moment I can’t reschedule it either — so let’s call it "cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances".
Update 5-2-09: Uh-oh.
Houston, we may have a scheduling problem. Don’t swatch anything just yet…
OK, OK. I said we’d start the next sweater knitalong in May, didn’t I?
So, NEXT FRIDAY, May 8th, we will kick off another one.
The Friday Guinea Pigs!

As anyone who has been reading lately knows, the Friday Group class regulars decided that they wanted to do a top-down raglan sweater, knit-along style.
Only thing is, they are all different shapes and sizes — being that they are human beings and all.

Last Friday was our first top-down sweater knitalong class, and I’m so tickled with my Friday knitters, I just have to tell you.
I’ve got seven — count ‘em, SEVEN — knitters who are going to knit a top-down sweater along with me!! It will be a project extending over a few months, so watch this space for some pictures of FO’s in about March or so. (Although we’ll probably get some pics along the way, too, I suspect.)
