I’ll be mostly offline this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. I’m going to make a mini-Gansey sweater at a Beth Brown-Reinsel workshop at Heritage Spinning in Lake Orion, Michigan. I learned about this workshop many months ago, in time to schedule myself the time off, which doesn’t always happen for me when these things come up. It turns out that Beth will also be teaching at Threadbear this month, but that information came to me after it was too late to change my plans.

I usually wake up around 10-11am after going to bed at 2-3am. The workshop starts at 9am both days, and is 1.5 hours away. I need to leave home before 7:30am. You can be sure I really want to do this workshop!!!

I have studied with Beth before and she is calming and thoughtful, focused and “just right” as Goldilocks says. I love being in the same room with her. After the turmoil of the last two weeks, I am really looking forward to being where I am not in charge and just learning and listening and knitting. This is perfect.

If you do not hear from me Saturday/Sunday, I promise photos of my project when I re-surface. For the record, we had to get “light colored” worsted-weight wool. I got yellow-green. Spring. It’s the color I always favor this time of year. I will drink in the promise of that color as I learn. See you when I get back!
