HeyMindy was our fabulous teacher yesterday at Grandma's Yarns & Notions!She taught a class on fitting your knits to your body type.
We got to measure ourselves for sweaters/skirts...this was the depressing, hilarious part!:)
Learned how schematics are guidelines and not actual rules...and to not ignore your row gauge!:) Short row shaping (heel flap for your boobs). Also had wonderful examples shown to us and some awesome books to add to my amazon wishlist!:)
Those in attendance using Ravelry names were: HeyMindy and her hubby Jaimie; DawnRene; CourtsGram; Katnmouse; Knittinwolf; LakeAlien; Vmomr (all the way from Acton); grandmaangie; lszeremet; neckio30; familydiva, KnittingGlassGuy showed up later for knitting time!
DawnRene, Katnmouse, CourtsGram and I went out to lunch at Panera after the class and had a totally fabulous lunch and giggles! We had so much fun yesterday that we are all in a fog today! After lunch we went back to the shop for knitting time! Nancy brought in a coconut cake to celebrate Angie's birthday too....a day of fun and good times!

Sounds like fun! I am thinking of taking a sweater class...maybe when I get to Sonora sometime...since I will be single with TONS of time on my hands LOL
what a great class! i need to take something like that.
Looked like a fun day.
BTW, LOVE the sweet pea hand and body lotion!! The scent stays around for a bit, too, which I love. Really creamy!! The other pack is for a gift, and I know she will love it, too!!
I've taken a similar class, but I'm still not comfortable with it all... So, what sweater are you testing your new skills on?
