April 29 – 30, 2006, will find me in Neenah, Wisconsin, participating in the Midwest Master’s Seminar. I’ll be taking Rainbow Dyeing in the Microwave (Merike Saarniit), Exotic Stitches for More than One Color (Anna Zilboorg), and Twisted Traveling Stitches (Anna Zilboorg). I’ve taken a class from Anna Zilboorg before, right after Knitting for Anarchists came out, and learned a lot. Looking foward to learning even more this time!
Is anyone else going to be at the Midwest Master’s? Anyone need a roommate?!
Yesterday I drove to St. Peter, Minnesota, for the day to visit a friend. It wasn’t the greatest driving weather. Although the roads were just wet and not slippery, it was very foggy coming home last night.
While I was in St. Peter, I stopped at Mary Lue’s Yarn and Quilt Shop, which has a cute shop cat:
Here’s a picture for the spinners:
And these made me think of Project Spectrum:
He is going to be soooooo pissed at you! Is he the type to destroy things when annoyed?
Check this out…. down on the third page… Sock Club. They mentioned Lorna’s Laces, Art Yarns, Cashmere….
Let the struggle commence.

Look at all of your snow! (What a brave one you are to go out in it.) I’d never cut it as a Minnesotoan!
Lucky you!! I would love to have the opportunity to take a class with Anna Zilboorg. Can’t wait for your post-weekend posts!
wish I was living in your area! those classes sound great…
Oooh you’re so lucky! Fawn over Anna Zilboorg a little bit just for me okay? 🙂 I think she is so underappreciated – a true knitting genius. I haven’t finished Anarchists yet because I can only absorb a few pages at a time. If I read any more than that my brain starts smoking!
I am turning green here, MMS sounds like it will be lots of fun.
The “Shawl we dance” class makes me laugh. Tell you what – I’ll pop over and look after Chaos for you. We can have fun with Catnip and Cheetos.
I have to second what Jan said. I’d love to take a class with Anna Zilboorg! I’ll definitely be eagerly await your post event recap.
OMG Neenah Wisconsin – home of Kimberly Clark. Jeff used to spend quite a bit of time up there.
It’s a good thing you’re going with set plans, otherwise not much to do. :o)
Be careful driving in the snow!
Those sound like great classes. Lucky you! I never see classes like that offered around here unfortunately. Enjoy it!
I love this Chaos shot!
What great sounding classes! I’m envious.
guess flannel sheets really come in handy there. Especially looking at today’s picture.
Hey, maybe Chaos would like to come be our shop cat? Chaos, I would feed you tuna and salmon and anything by cat food!
Those classes sound like so much fun!
And as always, Chaos is a cutie.
this seminar sounds so much fun I wish I could attend with you!!!!!
those classes sound amazing! Ive been wanting to pick up that book for a while now but I can never find it. What’s Anna like?
An article on Anna Zilboorg in one of the knitting magazines is what got me started knitting. Fawn over her for me too.
I wish I was going! Still will be buried in work.
Oh, look at that snow! This is such a funny time of year. I look out my window at blossoms, and you have snow. Hope you have blossoms soon!
Pft…I’m still trying to figure out if I can manage to get down to the Taos Wool Festival.
So unfair. Nothing ever happens here.
Oooh! Chaos has googly eyes!
Oh I envy you going to the Midwest Master’s. Those sound like they will be good classes!.
Wow. That looks like you’ll have a blast! I love that bag.
Another knitter’s fieldtrip today? ;o) I get to see a LYS through your blog!
We might be going to Memphis at the end of the month – and maybe I can drag J into a yarn store while we are there. Sadly, we can’t make it up North until somewhere in summer :o( The classes sound like a fiber-lover’s dream though, very creative titles!
Cute shop cat! (Don’t let Chaos hear that, he KNOWS he is adored by many ;o)
i’m very jealous of your classes! i wish i could go. so… you neglected to say what you bought at teh yarn store?
awww that looks like alot of fun! You’re gonna have a blast!
I love store cats, but don’t you just want to take them home with you.
What fabulous classes! Pop over to my blog – I have an announcement.
Snow and pretty yarn – ahhhhhh…..
Poor Chaos… but lucky Chris! He’ll survive, though, and I’m hoping maybe we can learn a couple stitches from you. So *I* don’t mind the trade-off!

Pretty bags and yarn!
That orange cat looks a lot like my Marvin. Looks like a good trip – the snow is pretty. NOT that I want anymore snow, but it still is pretty.
