ColorJoy Stole Class Reunion
Sunday, September 25th, 2005On Sunday, I had a fun time reuniting with two students from a ColorJoy Stole Class at Threadbear last July 24. Sharon and Sherida met me at Emil’s Restaurant on the East Side, my old neighborhood (a handful of blocks from Foster Community Center).
We ate the pasta special and talked and laughed and exclaimed. Sherida makes gorgeous jewelry, so we got to see some of that. She also made *TWO* ColorJoy Stoles. Two. Both neutral tones/cream… one dressy one including glittery gold fibers entwined with a lot of eyelash/fur yarn (see photo in link to class above), and one in more cushy and durable yarns with a touch of eyelash, lots of texture rather than glitz (in photo here).
Sharon made a beautiful dressy stole, glittery and in peacock jewel colors… turquoise, cobalt, emerald, purple and more. Gorgeous. She said she also has knit a dressy triangular shawl in black with rainbow flag accents, since we saw her. She did not bring the shawl for show and tell, unfortunately.
This event was Sharon’s second time wearing this stole, and I’m sure she’ll wear it more. She said the first time she wore it was with an aqua t-shirt and jeans, and this time she was more dressed up. It works both ways, and seems just exactly her style.
Here is a photo of Sharon and Sherida on the back step of Emil’s restaurant. Don’t they look fabulous???
