Knit Nation

Have you heard about Knit Nation?

Like the sign says, “Learn, shop, knit, spin!” The more I think about it, the more thrilled I am to be taking part.

• It’s in London, for cryin’ out loud! How fun will that be? I’m seriously looking forward to sneaking off to the V&A.
• I’m teaching six of my favorite classes. Cast-on Cornucopia has even sold out already! That should be a high-energy class. (Ooh, note to self: be prepared for UK knitters that typically hold the ball yarn in the right hand when casting on. For those cast-ons where US knitters normally hold two strands in the left hand, in the “slingshot” position, I ought to practice variations with tail yarn in left hand and ball yarn in right hand.)
• I get to hobnob with some really cool knitters. Many of the teachers I already know; the others I’m looking forward to meeting. And the students? It’ll be a blast to meet them too. I’m tickled by the regional differences I see here in knitting groups within the US; can you imagine what it’ll be like across The Pond?
• Did you look at the vendor list? Screw the yarn diet; how much will I be able to shove into my suitcases?

Read more about it at the Knit Nation website. And be sure to check out their blog—it features interviews with the teachers, and today’s my day.
