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.
