sweater ripping workshop

April 19, 2007

i’ve had several people request a sweater ripping workshop lately. i’m hoping to plan one for late next week (wed, thurs, maybe friday). it will be just an hour or two long and be very informal and hands-on.

i do not have the exact time or date yet because i want to see if we can get everyone together at the same time. that said, if you live in vancouver and are interested, send me an email at cosyknitsliterally (AT!) gmail (DOT!) com and i’ll add you in!

cheers,
cosy

p.s. don’t forget i’ll also be in the gallery from 10 to 11 (maybe longer) on friday morning if you missed the opening and still want to connect.

thesis show

April 19, 2007

welcome to my thesis show! these are pre-show pics, as you can tell by my shoes here and my coat and bags here.  there are about 8 pictures over on flickr if you’d like to peruse. the whole thesis set is here.

sorry about the quality - it was bright and sunny and hot when i showed up to finish setting up.

as predicted, with three of us showing it was packed for nearly the whole time. usually it peters out by 7, but we got kicked out of the building because they needed to lock up at 7:45. i had alissa take some pictures during the opening and so i’ll put those up soon. i hope people come back when there’s less of a crowd! the built up stress slowly left throughout the evening. i was very squinty and tired when it was over. yay! it’s over!

on the other hand, i could talk about wool and knitting for hours.  i gave lots of brief spinning demos and chatted with everyone.  one of my friends said “your first gallery show!” and i couldn’t help but laugh.  what knitters who knit practical items have gallery shows?  perhaps my only gallery show, and i’m okay with that.

plans for today? there’s yarn everywhere, so maybe some cleaning. haven’t seen the whole of my kitchen table for weeks. i have a book deadline early next week and i need to work on the projects. but that will all be relaxing with this over. maybe a bath…
