Hey Y'all,
Today I am here to report sundry items of interest. Most importantly, it's FIRST THURSDAY. That means there's a big sale all day, details below. There are also several upcoming classes, and I'll post those details below as well. But first, let me tell you-- Fiddler on the Roof is playing at Bass Concert Hall this week and it is MAGNIFICENT! Besides the storyline, the music, the lyrics, and the sets, all of which are splendid, there's also a ton of fab knitting in the costume department. Remember, the story takes places in (BRRRRRRRRR)Russia. And so there are shawls and hats and hand warmers galore. Not that you need an excuse to see the show, but if you go, keep an eye out for the fine wool work. Watching reminded me of how, after I saw A Hard Day's Night, which features a great V-neck sweater, I thought it would be cool to do a picture book of great knitted garments from Hollywood (and Broadway). If you have a favorite sweater/scarf/hat moment from a movie or a play, please tell me about it.
Here's the First Thursday and Class Info:
