I attended tonight because the shop was celebrating the birthday of master knitter Amy Detjen. Amy is one of the country's most accomplished practitioners of two-color knitting. In October, I had attended a color knitting mini-retreat that Amy taught.
Now, Amy and Meg Swansen have published a new book, Knitting with Two Colors.
I am delighted because Meg and Amy included "Lithuanian Sashes," my variation of the cover sweater from Sweaters from Camp, in their new book.
To a knitter, it doesn't get much better than this.
Verona, Wisconsin, December 16, 2011. I point out the spot at which my sweater's photo appears.

Verona, Wisconsin, September 2011. Here's the photo Amy Detjen took when she first saw me wearing the "Lithuanian Sashes" variation.

Of course this means I'll have to buy yet another knitting book.
It's a good buy.
I love the idea of knitting, but I can barely operate a keyboard let alone knitting needles. It is a shame since I think my flowing locks might be good for knitting.
