You just have to see this wedding gown made from locks of wool. The bride is a shepherdess and used wool from her own sheep. It’s a hoot, but it’s also kind of intriguing….or maybe I’m just a “sheep floozy” (nod of acknowledgement to Cilla F. from whom I stole that line!).
Joan entered some of her knitting in the St. Clair County Fair where she won 3 Firsts and 1 Second! Congratulations, Joan!!

Saturday I finished my “Sox Appeal” presentation to the Greater St. Louis Knitters’ Guild. Thanks to everyone who attended, and I really appreciated your support and your generous comments after the meeting. Wish I could attend more often!
This weekend I’m working on our fall class offerings. I’m having a difficult time deciding what to offer this time. We always have requests for Magic Loop sock classes, but there are other ideas and techniques I want to cover as well: knit 1 below, berets, Furry Flats (I’ll blog about them in a day or two. Stay tuned!). I’m considering a regular class schedule for the sock classes and mini workshops for the knit 1 below, Furry Flats, and such. Hmmm…..
Don’t hesitate!!
Stitch N Pitch is rapidly approaching. Be sure to get your tickets before August 15th at HearthStone Knits or any of the other participating shops.
