Trying to get back in the blogging habit. I know I have said this in the past, but as Twitter (where I am @Hooked4Life) is getting me back into communicating with like-minded people mode, I find that sometimes I have things to say that 140 characters – or even 280! – can’t quite cover.
In today’s news, it is officially official that I will be teaching at Vogue Knitting Live in Chicago, November 1 – 3, 2013. Here is a link to the save-the-date flyer – as you can see, I will be in great company.
I am very excited by this – I have had many great teaching experiences in the Chicagoland area and am so pleased to be going again with the Vogue crew!
Look out for my newest class offering – and all day Irish Crochet workshop, aimed at finding modern uses for traditional techniques. Allergic to thread crochet? Come anyway and work in yarn – it’s really going to be a joint exploration and a judgement free zone.
Speaking of Chicagoland – I was there last weekend and all I did was eat (well, and teach – hello to Northern Illinois CGOA!). I tried local legends Walker Bros for pancakes, a fabulous Tapas place,
for deep dish pizza and a really terrific salad, and
for Chicago-style hotdogs. My hosts were greatly amused that I kept pronouncing the latter in the manner of someone who speaks Spanish, Por-tee-yos, instead of how it’s spelled, which is what the locals call it. Of course I have issue with people who call the basketball team the Boston SSSSSSeltics, when it should be KKKKKeltics for God’s sake!
See you soon?
