30 Day Yarn Fast

I have spent several hundred dollars in the past week on yarn and knitting related purchases. (Signed up for an entrelac class, and bought a sock knitting DVD, among other things.) As a result, I am beginning a one-month yarn fast (ie: won't buy any more). I started yesterday and go until March 8th.

Tomorrow, I start the new class. Here is the excerpt:

Tea with Lady Eleanor

This is a beautiful shawl out of the Scarf Style book and you know you have always wanted to make it. You will learn the awesome technique of entrelac knitting and if you are interested Kathy will teach you how to knit back backwards...yep you read right! This will look wonderful in any self-striping yarns, i.e. Noro Silk Garden, Kureyon or Trendsetter Tonalita. You will need the book, size 9- 10.5 needles depending on gauge. 3 sessions…oh and yes we will be sampling tea and cookies!

I was able to find some examples on Flickr, if anyone wants to take a peek:
