I sure wish I was back in the city to take your classes! Judi
Judi:
Great to hear from you! Let me remind you of what an inspiration you have always been for me in the land of knitting 🙂
I hope all is well with you.
The class at Knitty City today was a good one. I enjoy it so much when the class discusses the nature of fabric (on a micro-scale at the stitch level, as well as on larger scale of when it turns into a garment).
Be well and stay in touch!
