so...it went really well (it ususally does). better than i ever imagined. i taught many people how to knit, college age, high school, and down to five and six year olds. i refreshed many twenties to middle-aged women who then exclaimed that they were going to go home and knit again, which they hadn't done in a long time. while i was teaching several children in a row, older german women, east indian women, asian women, and once two white girls in their early twenties just walked up and started knitting. only one person wanted to know about recycling sweaters, but really a thing like that is a one person at a time thing. it seems that you're ruining a perfectly good sweater to some.
all that in three hours.
one scarf is missing from the picture because i gave it to a young asian girl. she learned to knit from me and sat there for a half an hour knitting. she picked it up super quick. all of these other irritating little kids kept asking me how much everything cost, so in the end i gave her both the scarf and the needles. sigh. i told her that when she gets to the end she needs to start asking everyone around her if they know how to end it... i'm sure there's a knitter somewhere. she was a natural. fabulous.
overall, i love this stuff. i love that the thing that i have to teach is not about posessing, it is about movement and creativity and warmth. nobody could complete a whole scarf in that amount of time, so there's only the stitch to teach, the memory of a motion to pass on- a motion passed on through the generations by many before me who i am indebted to.
people who like to knit, like to knit. i kept seeing the same women eyeing the table... just wanting to be knitting. community scarves are amazing because people are free to experiment and do whatever they want... just enjoy the knitting without the pressure of getting anything done to wear. i highly highly highly recommend it. it has been a blessing in my livingroom.
that said, i think i'll start being available at the thrift store on saturday mornings for a couple of hours to teach and help community members with knitting projects. the problem with western culture is that there is never the public space for things like that to happen. this festival is a one shot deal once a year to come in contact with your neighbors... where does that leave you the rest of the year?
sorry for the rant. i'm beat and excited. reminds me of why i have education certification along with my english and art degrees. xxoo cosy
...And it is such a pretty scarf too!
I put this gold themed ensemble together for an evening out where I met up with a small group for dinner in Crystal City then karaoke & dancing at Freddie's Beach Bar! I had another great evening!
My ensemble for the night consists of this lovely gold lycra spandex strapless peplum minidress from greatglam.com, a sheer gold & silver silk scarf from venus.com, my super shiny Platino Cleancut pantyhose from shapings.com over Hanes Alive Barely There support hose from onehanesplace.com and finished off with my sparkly gold platform pumps with the 5½" heels from fredericks.com.

Should have switched to the 50mm, as I was back against the wall with the 85. my dumb hindsight!!!

Custom requested scarf!!
About 64 inches in length, 7 inches across
Plastic safety eyes for eyeballs, I cut the backs off as much as I could so they wouldn't poke through.
Made of fleece, and felt!
This one is for Ann who recently modelled the same dress in one of her photos I chose to add a silk scarf used as a belt and patterned tights.
In hindsight I think the tights might have been a tad too much lol.
Any way had a nice meal at mine with Alice and my family.
Inspired by a coat of my daughter's (very many years ago) this scarf has a little applique pocket to hold a cute hedgehog toy and other treasures too!
Pattern listed on Bustle & Sew
I'm using Sundara's hand-dyed self-striping sock yarn and the Zigzag Scarf pattern from the book, Scarf Style. I know my bedsheet is very crumpled, hehe, just focus on the scarf in progress :D).
