Such a fun class!

I had the best time at String of Purls.  I was a little late getting there, but I had the best time!  Gina was wonderful.  She isn't an employee of the store but is just there trying to support it.  Well, I had told her several of the patterns that I wanted to learn and she copied the pattern, looked up some of the types of stitches that she didn't know how to do, and worked up little swatches of the patterns.  We had some time left so we worked on knitting on DPNs (cause they scare me), and she showed me how to knit continentally.  No one else had signed up for the class so I had it all to myself.  I can tell that knitting continentally is going to be a lot faster for me.  I am a lefty but I knit right handed, so once I practice more, it should be faster.  Purling is a little awkward though.  All in all, I had a fab time!  And, I got one of those cute lantern moon sheep tape measurers - just cause they are cute!

Wow - a whole instructor to your self, I would have loved to steal my spinning instructor away.

Don't be intimidated by those DPNs - you show them who's boss! Actually, I felt the same way, until I made Fuzzy Feet from http://knitty.com They are the perfect project for using DPNs for the first time because the pattern is very well written and you can felt out and flubs.

Way to go continental! I hear it *is* faster. I am to far gone to change now, but I always wanted to.

Those sheepie measuring tapes are the cutes. Have you seen the sheep guages too?
