Tara picked 17

Is that because she will turn 17 next year?  Anyways, number 17 was . . . drumroll please, Nancy Wilson!

And here she is just sitting down after a hard day of teaching. 
No, she isn’t an employee, but is a valuable part of our teaching team and she was teaching the Three Tams using a two-handed Fair Isle technique.  One tam took a skein of Silk Garden and a skein of Shepherd’s Wool

 

 

 

 

Everyone who took the class made the project their own:

 We’re ready for our next Noro Kureyon or Silk Garden project;  it doesn’t matter if its sock or worsted weight.  Post a  link to a picture of your project and tell us a little bit about it in your comments.  On December 25, yes Christmas Day, I’ll have Haley pick a number and the matching commenter will receive a Knit Happy insulated tumbler!

Thank you to Passing Down Crazy and Mckmama for pointing the way to doing a photo collage.  I have a lot to learn but it was fun getting started . . . .

  • I’d like to make a suggestion for the next Noro project? I just (yesterday!) planned and started an EZ Adult Surprise Jacket in Noro Silk Garden. I’m using four different colorways of Noro Silk Garden, but more (or fewer) could be chosen.

    • Hi Susan: I’m sure it’ll be lovely. The store model has seven colors and I had to continually tell Penny to not try and plan her colors, to just grab a ball out of the bag and continue. I think she did end up eliminating an obnoxious red from one of the balls, if I remember. Its been a few years now. I would like to make one, but am thinking along the lines of the Rambling Rows Jacket instead, so I have vertical lines at my behind. Can’t wait to see yours. I’ll upload a picture of ours as soon as I figure out how to do it from this screen ;-) . Lea-Ann

  • Check out the links to mckmana’s blog, Kathy. I used Photoshop to do it.

    Now that my yarn has arrived I am excited about trying to make this hat. I hope my version turns out as nice at the ones in the pictures. So how does one do a photo collage? I guess that is my next google request….

    Nancy sure looks like she is enjoying her new book.
