knitting up a frenzy
After coming home from our honeymoon (honeymoon blog to come shortly), I was so inspired by all the homemade knits @ Spitalfields Market in London that I decided (finally!) to put my grandmother's knitting supplies to good use. My grandmother had shown me how to knit years ago, and of course, I remembered nothing. So I checked out a few sites...the easiest to follow by far was @ the Yarn Company's site (yarnco.com), a local store based out of NYC. The more I investigated knitting, the more I realized that there's a growing knitting community out there, and it's not just America's heartland stitching up the stereotypical throws and tea cozys--there's a contingent of knitting stores in Manhattan who appeal to the urban chick a-la Carrie Bradshaw.
Speaking of my beloved Carrie, tonight marks the beginning of the end of Sex & the City. Despite the fact that I just got married & am much in love, I so don't want her to wind up married off. She's just the prototypical happy-to-be-single gal. If it ends in some big wedding, that would just be so depressing!
Wish me luck with the knitting stuff--so far I'm off & going, but I still want to take a class. The best classes look like the ones @ Knit NY, but they're also the most expensive--$175. But it's 3 meetings, with supplies, all meeting 2 & a half hours long. So maybe it's the best deal for the moola...
