French Knitting

I have signed up for the above titled knitting class at Lambspun. The description follows…
“…work on any project of your choice. Listen to French music; learn basic French conversation and knitting terms in French.”

This is appealing to me. I have some French classes behind me, but really only know enough to order ‘le vin blanc, s’il vous plait’, which is all one really needs. Really.

I will take my lunch for three Mondays for this experience, Lambspun being just a hop, skip, and a jump from my place of employment. I haven’t yet decided on my project of choice. I suppose it shouldn’t be something tres difficile, n’est-ce pas? I could always just continue away with the MLCB...garter stitching away....and away....and away....

The thing is, with the class, one recieves 20% class supplies. This is my chance to buy yarn for ANYTHING at 20% off. I should just buy some sock yarn, if nothing else.

There was an effort made to interest me in the book 'French Girl Knits: Innovative Techniques, Romantic Details, and Feminine Designs' by Kristeen Griffin-Grimes, but I declined. Not really my style, and not why I am taking la classe.

I am all about the atmosphere...the ambiance...the air!

Je suis très excited.

That sounds tres bon! What a great idea. I may suggest that at my LYS for a future class.

I don't think I have mentioned that MS A allowed me to dispose of her knitting needle collection... Of course, I just added it to mine, but it had 5 or 6 pair of French knitting needles...Of course, now I can't re-gift them to you next xmas!

What a fun way to spend your lunch! I look forward to you introducing the rest of us to French knitting terms and whatnot.

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
