    I was there, cheering Hazel on! It was quite exciting!! She wasn't able to use her belt for the competition on Saturday but gave a demo using the belt with two colors yesterday. The audience was fascinated as most of them had no idea knitting belts even existed.

    One of the knitters in the audience asked her how she joined new colors in. She replied that she just tied the new color in and had her husband (who happened to be sitting right in front of the gal who asked the question) take off his Fair Isle pullover and show her the inside and how the yarn felted.

    I visited with her a little and she complimented me on my Roscalie!

    Oh my, she is fast. Thank goodness she doesn't run as well or she'd be after my record!

    My son timed me once at, I think, 44 sts per minute, in plain stockinette.
    Read the article and was curious about the belt. I have seen them but never in use. Would sure like to see that.

Bead Whimsey with Sivia Harding That was the name of the class that I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic.  I have attended many workshops in my time, so it takes a special workshop to catch my attention. Do you know her? I have to admit, I wasn't aware of Sivia's work until it was announced that she was the special guest for the Frolic. When I did some research on line, I was intrigued by her beaded knits and signed up right away! "Bead Whimsey" did not disappoint! Sivia brought so many examples of her beaded knits.
