Toe Up Sock Workshop Anyone?

I just got the latest issue of Interweave Knits and there's a great article on knitting socks from the toe up using the Eastern cast on method. Knitting toe-up means you can try on the sock at any time during the knitting to get just the perfect fit. I'm going to knit one test sock to see if I can do it, and then I'd love to do a workshop on the process. Just let me know if you are interested and I can try to coordinate a time that would work for everyone. What I'd like to do is make it a Wednesday night class. Since I'm here til 8 on Wednesdays, and, to tell you the truth, I've been really, really underwhelmed with customers on those evenings, I'm just lonesome for some company.
So, since socks are a great summertime knitting project, not to mention a very portable project, let's get knittin' some socks! PLUS I've got some wonderful new Opal colors in as well as Panda Cotton (think cotton, bamboo and elastic), Fixation Solids and Spray Dyes, and Meilenweit cotton sock yarns that would be instantly wearable in summer. Class members would need to purchase the Summer 07 issue of Interweave Knits plus yarn and needles of suitable gauge. Remember, supplies purchased at the shop for a class are discounted 10%. Such a deal!
C'mon then, let's knit some socks from the toe up!!

Another Posting...At Last!

Well, it's been almost a year since I last posted. Guess I'm not using this blog to its full potential. (Slight understatement.) Will try to use it more for posting new items in the shop, upcoming events, interesting finds, etc.
Finally notified my email customers about the upcoming Memorial Weekend Tent Sale this weekend. There will be lots of tent/sidewalk sales all around town as well. Perham will be a great place to find a bargain.
I'll be putting lots of yarns, accessories and patterns out in the tent(s). Not totally sure what will be in the tent(s) until I walk around the shop and ponder the "slow movers". All the BH&G Knit It and Crochet magazines will be marked way down. I no longer carry them in the shop because the local grocery stores carry them. And since I converted all my bulbs to florescents, I'll have all my supply of incandescent lightbulbs on sale for 50 cents each.
Got the loom room rearranged today so I can access both the Harrisville 8H 22" and the new Baby Wolf. I'm excited to get them both warped with projects. I think I'll do the sock yarn scarf on the Harrisville (warp already wound and waiting to be threaded), then perhaps a warp of dishtowels out of the 8/2 cotton and Ironstone Flake Cotton. Will post some pix of the loom room next post.
See you at the shop. L
