I have been attending the UP-cycle T-shirt Class being taught online by Stefanie Japel.
The class is in week two of the three week program. The course takes t-shirts through a recycle process: dismantle, various methods of dyeing (with a very good presentation on color theory) and then knitting the t-shirt yarn into new items. Stefanie also gives four patterns for projects with this class.
This is not your ordinary online course mind you. Stefanie will be adding classes as her site grows, but if this is just a hint of what is to come, this could change the way people take classes in the future. It is perfect for any busy person juggling jobs, family and squeezing time in for their knitting. The class is self paced and all materials readily accessible.
I highly recommend this class or try the Fitted Shawl class just to experience this online class format and see if you won't agree with me. It is great!!
Good thing that the class is self paced for me, Jasper has added some extra challenges as well as entertainment for the family throughout the class thus far.
On a hot summer day with the top down on my convertible, I came to a stoplight. I picked up my knitting, using this time wisely, I started to knit. A trucker in the next lane said "HEY LADY, the light is going to turn green and you are going to hold up traffic!!" I politely responded "RELAX!!! This is a 6 STITCH LIGHT!" Then I raced to the next light hoping to catch another red!
