So this past Monday I spent some time at the Urban Craft Center waiting out traffic after a trip to the chiropractor. I live in Sherman Oaks, so the drive home from Santa Monica is reasonably horrific during rush hour traffic. I was working on a baby blanket for My Cousin, Tracy, when I said hello to the owner, Angharid.  To make a long story short, the center needed a teacher for some knitting and crocheting classes and they asked me to do it based on this baby blanket! I said yes of course...

I'm really excited to have this opportunity to spread my passion for yarn and sticks with others, and actually get paid for my time and efforts.
The inspiration for this color combo came from a woman at my stitch and bitch, Ellen. She had made a potholder with similar colors and I fell in love with it. I went to Jo-Ann's in Porter Ranch, went straight to the Cotton-Ease and chose these colors.  I'm really happy with how it turned out-- and even more happy that it landed me a free-lance job knitting. woot. I will be giving this away October 9th at the baby shower. I hope my cousin likes it... I know I do. :)
