Started wth a new group of beginning knitters tonight. As Annie and I were discussing just the other day, teaching is so inspiring. My streak of good classes at Makor seems to be continuing: all 20 (!) students were knitting by the end of the 2 hours, thanks in large part to an assist by my friend Nancy.
I've been feeling a little blah about my current projects lately. I've vowed that I won't start anything new until I finish a couple of the things I'm already working on, but nothing is terribly close to completion. Yesterday I had a few hours of leisure time, and felt like I needed a break from the WIPs. I was inspired by helping Annie out with her wire knitting class to I made a cool wire necklace. I figure it doesn't count as breaking my vow, since wire knitting isn't so much like regular knitting, plus I could start and finish the project in one sitting. Except that I need to get some ribbon or cord to really finish it. I think we have something at the store that will be perfect, but I won't be there until Thursday, so it will just have to wait until then. I keep finding that as much wire and as many beads and tools as I keep buying, I still need more to do what I want. It would be a good thing if I could stop picking up new expensive hobbies.
It was a very good break, though, and I hope to do more wire knitting very soon. So far this month, my schedule hasn't been quite as hectic as last fall. Here's hoping this will continue to be the case.
