Teaching
Well, I am not heading off to Vogue Knitting Live this weekend, but I will be doing a lot of teaching in the coming few days. Today and tomorrow I am subbing for my favorite first-grade class. I've been their sub since the beginning of the school year, which is an enviable position to be in: I know the kids, I know the routine, and the kids know me. Less stress for everyone. They also know that I always bring my knitting to work on when I have down time during the day. Last week a couple of them asked if I had brought knitting for them to work on. I hadn't—it completely slipped my mind. Last night I made sure to add some little knitting needles and balls of yarn to my knitting bag. We may be stuck inside for recess (we were last week) and knitting will be the perfect distraction.
On Friday afternoon I head to Big Mountain (it's now called Whitefish Mountain Resort but it will always be know as Big Mountain) for the 3rd Annual Camas Creek Winter Retreat. Friday's night's class is "Finishing Before You Start." On Saturday morning I will teach "Conquering Colorwork" and on Saturday afternoon is a class Melanie's husband dubbed "All Janet's Secrets," which is something of a tips and tricks class. The last time I taught that at the store it was a huge hit.
The Sunday morning class did get cancelled (darn). Oh well.
And speaking of teaching, it appears that I will likely be in Maryland from June 15 or so until about June 27. That covers two full weekends, and I am looking to fill the time with some teaching gigs. If you know of a store or guild that's looking for a teacher during that time, please let me know and I will contact them. I can do a limited amount of traveling to Pennsylvania or Virginia, so suggestions of stores/guilds in those areas would be welcome, too.
