You know that moment… when you’re waiting for an answer, waiting for the next step, or you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop…. that held breath, the suspended time. That frozen moment, where you feel like time has slowed and will never reach its conclusion.
Yeah. That’s where I am. I’m winding up the prep to film a class for Craftsy.com, and honestly, it’s a pretty epic class. It’s sort of blowing my mind. I’m feeling quite confident in my ability to convey the info, but I’m just not sure about my ability to do it RECORDED.
I’ve got all the knitting (sans a few swatches for demo purposes) done, and I’m putting together a box to ship out to Denver with materials and knitted pieces I’ll need while I’m there. I still need to sort out all the outfits I’ll be wearing for each of the different segments, and plan what I’m bringing vs. what I’m packing.
I feel about as prepared as is humanly possible, and yet I feel like I’m struggling through a pool of molasses to reach the other side. I’m feeling twitchy and ungrounded, and nervous as hell. And 10 days more of this seems like a REALLY long time. I’m hoping not to develop an ulcer as a result of it.
Perhaps more yoga, more mediation and less caffeine….

Knit! Knit miles of garter scarf while you zone out and let your mind . . . drift. Knit a lace shawl – not one of yours!! – a big round pi shawl.
Most of all — have fun!!!

I hope you heard that from the people at Craftsy already, but I though the videos were very instructional and easy to follow. So good job on that! 
Posted 07 Jun 2012 at 4:40 AM ¶PS: The outfits were great too, especially that magenta top in the first one.
Thanks Sabrina! I am glad I spent so much time working on the details, but yes. I should have stressed less about it. It all went smoothly and the class turned out really well, despite the fact that my slight lisp is very prominent
About the magenta dress. OMG! I love that thing. It’s so easy to wear! I originally bought it for a styling piece for the Confluence Collection and it’s one of my wardrobe staples now!
Thanks so much for your good words on the class! Please consider writing a review of the class when you’re ready I’d love to have a good solid body of reviews for when it gets some broader marketing.

[...] had a fabulous time, despite all my angsty leadup to the trip, and now, with the hard work of the fabulous Craftsy team, the class I filmed with them [...]
