A few minor hiccups

XRX has just posted the brochure for Stitches Midwest—and it looks like it’ll be a fabulous event! The schedule is packed with lots of new classes. And I’m looking forward to the Opening Day Spotlight: Gwen Bortner, Laura Bryant, and Anna Walden will discuss “Building on the Bias” in an Entrelac Design Challenge.

The hiccups? Well, first off, I can’t take any of the new classes, as I’m teaching practically the whole weekend. Bummer!

Second, the brochure lists my new class as “Seamless Set-in Sleeves,” when I’d named it “Slick Set-in Sleeves.” Doesn’t “Slick” make the class sound like more fun? Oh, well. Maybe it’ll get fixed. Maybe not.

Third, the description of “Chart Reading” is off-kilter. The brochure ought to read:

The symbols of a chart take the place of written instructions, telling you what stitches to work. But a good chart does so much more, showing you what the knitted fabric should look like. In this class, you’ll learn to read charts, making sense of their symbols and using them to keep your knitting on track and to minimize mistakes.

Still, despite the hiccups, I’m excited to return to Schaumburg in August!
