Knitting Outdoors, Anyone?

My car was in for it's check up yesterday and is in good health.  However, in this rare moment, my Yarn Mobile is yarn-less.  It sports no Warm Up America blocks, no samples, no patterns, skill sheets or flyers, no bags of "I just had to give it a good home" yarn...for the moment.  Its just a car.  The interior and trunk are vacuumed out and the mats are spot cleaned.  Good thing it is home in my driveway; I might not recognize it in a parking lot. 

Tucked into the trunk now are two outdoor chairs and a small table in anticipation of plein air knitting excursions.  Knit Mobs are just around the corner.  World Wide Knitting in Public Days are on my mind.  Its time to knit in the sunshine.  In the kitchen, I'm queuing up the some projects to restock my wheels...yarn-less it will be for just a short time more.

Hand Manipulated Machine Knitting Workshop

Update:  The workshop exceeded expectations and now I've got a head full of new knowledge and inspiration.  Thank you to Rapid Rows Machine Knitters hosting this outstanding event!

Happy Pi Day!

I'm looking forward to the two day Rapid Rows Machine Knitter's Guild of Central New Jersey workshop coming up tomorrow and Saturday...Hand Manipulated Machine Knitting with Susan Guagliumi.  A day of lecture and a day of swatching on our machines.  Yippee!  I'm gonna have a good time.
