I received the Fabric Place class catalog in the mail last week, and decided that I'm actually going to take a couple! I signed my Mom and I up for the 9/30 Knitter's Breakfast in Framingham (they are doing them at all stores at the same time that day): "A light breakfast and early morning "knitters only" shopping experience. Trunk shows, special guests and Fall knitters preview. $5 registration fee is redeemable in merchandise." I've wanted to check this out this year but its always on a Saturday. I don't think it will kill me to miss ballet on 9/30, so I signed up myself plus one.
I've started watching Knitty Gritty (taping it on our cable box) and am excited about finishing up my alien scarf and working on some new projects.
I also signed up for a 2 night 'Getting to know your serger' class in Framingham in early November. Its a two hour a week, two week course on Wednesdays (6:00-8:00) and I'm hoping it will make me feel a bit more secure in using my machine, that sits dusty and neglected.
As far as projects go, I have a simple, casual dress to finish for DragonCon and some mending. Then I need to adjust my dress form to my size and alter all of my work clothes so they fit the new me . . . my pants are hanging way down low given the change in my hips and waist, and they are looking really unflattering as a result. Why spend $ on new clothes when I can just take a little time and make the ones I have fit? :) Having a new craft room space will serve to provide some inspiration to the both of us, I think.
