Look at these great seamless argyle socks! They are the work of the diligent, intrepid advanced knitters in my Seamless Argyle Socks workshop at Stitches East. The class takes a lot of concentration. They stuck with it and made progress. I’m proud of them!
It was fun to hear them say things like “Wow, you wonder how it’s going to work and then it does and it’s really cool!” I knew just what they meant.
I don’t know about them, but I needed a hot bath and a whole evening of reading a detective mystery with my legs propped up on a pillow, in order to recover. The book was a Nero Wolfe mystery, by Rex Stout.
Here are some of the workshop samples from Dotty Knits, which is my version of mosaic knitting. See how the hearts are dotty? This was another group of good knitters and nice people! I even gained a new insight on charting mosaic designs, thanks to Robin. Teaching is a great way to learn.
Seamless Argyle Socks and Dotty Knits are both offered at Stitches West, February 21-24, 2008, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, California. More details at http://www.knittinguniverse.com/events.
