Sensational Knitted Swatch

This is the knitting that I am doing this week. SS09 class homework.

In January, we who work at yarn shops go to the TNNA trade show. I take classes from famous knitters who write books. So it's not like I am new to meeting famous knitters. But, I don't think I'll ever be so jaded as not to be excited to meet them and to learn all the fabulous stuff that they can impart.

Here is my swatch for the class I will take with Charlene Schurch. I expect to find out how to pronounce her last name and hopefully she will sign my book during the class.

I am thinking about having a contest. I'll buy a skein of sock yarn at ss09 and send it to a randomly chosen person who leaves a comment. Is there anyone out there? Do you like that idea?
