The Sample Stitch Kimono has
reached 67 participants as of the sending of
this
newsletter but I want MORE! I am enjoying
the interaction so much, I am getting greedy
for more participants, but not without some
generosity on my part. The 75th person to
sign up for the SSK will receive a $75
Knitability credit toward the product
(including special order yarns) of their
choosing. And if you are listed as the
referral in the comments section, you will
receive a $25 Knitability credit.
You will see on the web page that I have
added the anticipated schedule for techniques
to be covered each month. In addition to the
basic technique, I often cover other
supporting skills or techniques. As we
enter travel season, I want to remind you
that this is a fabulous
travel project. In fact, the majority of my
sample was completed while traveling.
It is not too late to join in the fun (and
now there is an additional incentive). With
only one panel a month, there is still time to get
started and be a part of the experience.
And even if the project isn't for you,
please visit
our blog often and see how others are
progressing.

As we enter our 6th year in business and
continue to refine our focus of "Taking
Knitters to the Next Level", we are
continuing to develop new resources for both
teachers and students alike. The listing of classes being
offered by
teachers around the country can be a
wonderful source for students, but only if
you add your class information.
If you are a teacher, we encourage you to list your classes AT NO
CHARGE. In exchange, at the beginning of
each quarter (April 1 starts the next
quarter) we will randomly pick one entry
of the classes offered in the next 3 months.
The contact listed will receive a $25
Knitability gift certificate. So whether you
are an independent teacher, part of a yarn
shop or offering classes at a convention, you
are invited to add
your classes and be entered for the drawing.

All About Entrelac...it is just a working
title, but at least it is a start. I have
had people ask me to write a book on entrelac
for years. And it is one of the few books
that I am actually interested in trying to
put together. Recently
I came across a pair of gals called the Blog
Squad. How I found them is a bit
convoluted,
but needless to say, I have started following
them. Their primary service is geared toward
business professionals wanting to take their
blog to the next level. One of the ways to
do this is to write your "next" book via a blog.
So for the next few weeks, and most likely
months, the Knitting Professor is going to be
focusing on entrelac. At least until I move
it to a different site or give up on the
idea. Now even if you are not particularly
interested in entrelac, many of the skills
can be applied to other areas of your knitting.

So Spring is upon us and it is time to start wandering out doors, but don't forget to take your knitting along!
