On the way up to Durango, I talked to Marly of the Yarn Thing Podcast!
Have a listen, but keep in mind that I was 2 Margaritas to the wind!

Back from Yarn Durango!
Thursday, June 4th, 2009
Well, Mazie, Mom, and I had an interesting drive up to Durango last weekend!
We left on Thursday and stopped in Santa Fe on the way.
Here’s me teaching. You can tell I’m really strict!
And here’s a picture of the whole class:
(If you click on either of these photos, you’ll go to the flickr set and can see more pictures.)
Durango is a wonderful little town…and if you are ever there, be sure to stop at Yarn!! Kara and her staff are wonderful, and the shop is just gorgeous. It’s one of the prettiest I’ve seen.
The workshop went really well. Everyone left class well on their way … adapting a pattern to go from flat to circular knitting, changing the fit of an existing pattern, or designing their own sweaters. Everyone seemed to come with different goals in mind, but they all seemed to enjoy the class and leave feeling better about reading and understanding the fit and shaping that go into patterns.
SUCCESS!
Mazie really enjoyed Durango, too. It’s her ideal town…lots of dogs, bicycles, kids, live music, and STAIRS.
She was so cute! She wanted to carry her own purse (I put it on crosswise!) and wear her sunglasses and bracelets. She walked right along with us, not needing to hold hands. The only time she ran off was if she saw a really cute dog, or if there were stairs to climb.
We just had a great “Girls’ Weekend!”
