My fun today was getting to spend all day in a sock knitting seminar. This was a class taught by famously creative knitting designer and author Cat Bordhi. She has designed an entirely new way to knit socks that avoids some of the things that people (like me) find difficult about sock knitting.
In this method there is:
- No wraps and turns
- No Picking up Stitches
- 100% knit in the round
- A custom fit for each person
I was pretty confused at the beginning of the day and had trouble with the Judy's Magic Cast on, but after Cat helped me with that part I got going pretty well. I got almost all the way to the heel and I am looking forward to finishing my "discovery sock" tomorrow.
I got my book signed, and I also got a picture of me with Cat Bordhi. Yay!
I attended the class at the fabulous yarn store "The Whole Nine Yarns." This is such a gorgeous store and of course they had the receipt printer going all day as knitters came in to shop the great yarns. Cat Bordhi will be signing books tomorrow at 11:00 at the Whole Nine Yarns in Woodstock, GA.
