Celtic Cables Class Summary

That Celtic Cables class with Melissa Leapman was a blast! She's really nice. The material was presented in a way both beginners and advanced knitters could benefit. The explanations were very clear and all the notes were already typed up so students didn't have to set down their knitting to dash off reminders to themselves.

It turns out Melissa is not vegan, but is vegetarian. I'm still glad I prepped vegan food because at least we were prepared.

Did you know she's working on a new book? It's all about Celtic Cables. We got an advanced look at some of the wonderful designs that will appear in that book. You can bet we'll be carrying it at Hillcreek Yarn Shoppe just as soon as it comes out.

A lucky few got their copies of Cables Untangled autographed. Barb was whining about the fact that the shop is sold out of practically every single book Melissa has ever written (and she's written quite a few). However, I had to point out to her that when we still had seven copies of Cables Untangled I advised her to grab a copy while the getting was good.

This past weekend, Bex went to the Fiber Festival in Jeff City and sold just about every Melissa Leapman item she had because Melissa was also teaching at the festival.

But did Barb listen to me? Nooooooo. Now she's regretting it. So there!
