 (Hum “I’m a Believer “) as sung by the Monkees.
Many, many years ago, I told anyone who would listen that I would never knit socks. What converted me to a sock addict you ask? Cathy Hougan asked me to teach an intro to sock class. First I called my friends, so they could laugh and then I set off to make my first finished pair of socks. Guess what- a change in me took place. I no longer needed to always just make shawls and sweaters I could get the same challenge and comfort from creating socks. Learn small and be confident in tackling bigger projects. Much less frogging involved! A bit about me- I'm Randi. I have been knitting since my grandmother taught me at age eleven. I will not comment on how many years ago that was. The reference to the singing group the Monkees gives you a clue. Knitting has been more than just a creative process for me. It also and most importantly calms and brings me joy. I was a Montessori teacher for 30 years. I have found teaching is in my bones, so I recently started substitute teaching. I always look forward to my time in the shop and sharing stories and our knit or crochet creations. Come join me October 26th to learn to knit socks on two needles.
