Barbara Walker Mosaic Knitting Workshop (AKG)

Oh, how fun was that! Barbara was so nice, and laid back! The class was fun and she was sweet, helpful and just everything you would want her to be. I got her to sign my First Treasury book, and I also turned nerd and bought one of her pretty little doll dresses. The one I picked up reminds me of medieval chain-mail or something, I like it! It's knit on such tiny needles with such delicate shaping.

Here is Barbara with Cherlyne (sp?) the wonderful women I got to sit next to and chat it up with during class. She's been to Italy, Greece, Egypt and man is she a really good knitter.

Barbara Walker Barbie Cloths!

Here is the little dress, made to fit a barbie, it's even cuter in person.

Mosiac Swatch

Here is my final swatch knit in garter stitch. I would like to try a stockinette one eventually! I didn't really like making up our own charts, which was fine because I never really wanted to make my own charts up any way. Mosaic knitting is fun! Barbara told me I better knit a cute little Mosaic baby cardi. Sonds good to me!

And to think you CALLED ME NAMES for buying a swatch!

I called you a pimp I believe, which means you are the bomb for getting the swatch lol.

Really miss your podcast. What a great Barbie dress, where did you get the pattern? My granddaugher loves Barbie. Hope you are doing well.

I really like the little dress...will you have to borrow one of Jen's barbies to try it on? ;) looks like a little pixie present to me!
I'd love to see you and Jen playin'
Barbies!
