A Pause that Doesn't Refresh

Geesh, it's been two weeks with no knitting now. Getting these project proposals pulled together has been all-consuming. The good news is, spring break is next week and an extended road trip will provide for all kinds of knitting time! I'd like to knit some sort of simple pullover in a nice warm wool - I'm thinking Peace Fleece - but since we're leaving on Saturday, I'm not sure I could get any by mail order on such short notice.

My sister and I will be stopping in at a new yarn shop in Fort Collins on Thursday; maybe I'll find something there.

Of course, I could pull something from my stash...

I need to mention also that I'll be spending my birthday money on a swift and a ball winder!!

Finally, a sock yarn wearability report: OK, I'm totally in love with Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock Yarn. These socks are not too thick, not too thin, not itchy, very soft and very comfortable. A+++. My overflowing stash of sock yarn has suddenly become most unappealing. I'm thinking of unloading it on eBay...

Ah. The trouble with stash...

I remember Spring Break. It was a real good idea. I miss it.

No, really!

I am teaching myself to knit from books and patterns. I am a music teacher and I have Spring Break next week (April 4th-10th). I am looking for a live workshop or get together during the week, virtually any time. I would like someone to show me some basics. Do you have a suggestion?
Thanks!
