Baggage Rendezvous!

Posted on April 14, 2009 by Annie

I was so happy to have my bags back last night – yay! And I have TWO projects that must be mailed out no later than Wed, so I have to get crackin’

Evidently I was more ill than I thought. Gerry made me go to the doc, and I do indeed have Bronchitis, and I’m on an antibiotic. But I feel so happy to be back in my home that it’s hard to feel really bad. I’m such a darned Virgo.

I urge you to visit Drew Emborsky’s blog for some lovely photos of Aruba and Curacao. Thank heaven he took some nice ones!

Pam, a friend from the cruise, made the most adorable crocheted hat with a day-glo orange brim, which she wore to the lifeboard drill.

Today she sent me a photo of herself in it, and it’s charming. It crystalizes – distills – the cruise for me, all in this one sweet image…

And now back to work. I must knit like the wind.

And as I knit I’ll contemplate a crisis of teaching confidence I’m flirting with. Finally – the cruise is over and I’m flirting!

I need to rethink some things, perhaps rewrite my handouts and set everything up more as a rotisserie type of class thing (cafeteria classes?) I need a boost of new energy.

I love teaching – LOVE it – but my fear factor rises as classes start in silly ways. I feel inadequate – frightened that I won’t be able to get through to everyone – but I know this is because I’ve been dormant for a few months. I’m looking forward to the 3-week teaching trip in May/June to get my chops back.

To that end, I’d love to add some book signings / speaking gigs – freebies – at shops where I’m passing. Check out this map of

If you know of a shop that is on my way, please ask them to get in touch with me if they’d like me to do a book signing. I think I’d like to add a few low-pressure reach-out events to get me back into fighting form, to meet knitters & crocheters in person (with no expectations that I’ll be able to unlock the mysteries of all decreases and increases.)

Maybe I’m just crazed with the lung infection.

Burn, baby, burn!

Be a NUN - or just look like one! In all honesty, the pattern is NOT well reviewed (there's only one 2-star review...) but it's always been one of my favorites.
