Well, the Stitches East 2007 brochure arrived in yesterday's mail, and by the time I sat down at the computer to register, only an hour later, half the classes I wanted were already sold out! I expected the Lily Chin ones to be, but jeez. I finally managed to snag ONE Friday afternoon class. Oh well, I find myself googling for some of the class subjects, like Japanese short rows, and there are lots of good web sites out there with detailed instructions and pix, e.g.:
Should we have pity ,,,or should we be jealous about that ???? mirjam :>:>:>:> rote:
That was exactly what i thought ,,,,,, i am a World away from those conventions !!!!! mirjam
So what is the class you managed to sign up for?

More likely you should teach at Stitches. They pay based on the number of students that take the class. If a lot of students want to take particular instructor's class, the instructor ends up being well paid.
This is something I really need a step-by-step class w/a patient teacher for.
Am now pining for my needles as I type 1-handed; cellulitis (@#$% spidr bite) has immobilized right hand -- hope only a few days more.
That sounds like a great class! I hope it is small enough so you get lots of one-on-one time. And I hope your hand gets better soon! That sounds scary. Has it happened to you before? You are taking it much better than I would.

I used to go just to shop in the sales room. I've never taken any classes there. My stash is so big now that I'd better not go shop there this year! I'm already at S.A.B.L.E.

Ouch! Take good care of that cellulitis, it can be lethal. Watch out for sudden fevers, it's easy to not notice them in this hot weather.

Oh, yes, cellulitis is awful! I had it once, on my chin, of all places, and it took massive antibiotics to clear it up. The dr figured that I got it when the rabbit scratched me. A friend of mine nearly lost his arm when he got cellulitis while working in his garden. Do be careful with it!

Cellulitis is extremely painful. Hope it starts to clear up for you really soon.

No, but it's happened to friends, & my doc says it's on the increase, as does my niece the nurse. It's not actually in my hand, the bite is on my rt elbow, and the dr says I can't use my arm because flexing the elbow will keep it fm healing (and using my fingers makes the whole arm itch worse). I'm on oral antibiotics, which is better than being tethered to an IV as a friend was. So it could be worse. But I can't knit...!
So tks to all 4 yr sympathy.
