Teaching at beautiful Asilomar, in Monterey, California. (video)

Here's a short VIDEO I created, from my recent teaching at Empty Spools in Asilomar. Oh my! We had a wonderful time! (I won't be teaching there next year, hoping to be invited back for 2020.)

The gorgeous Pacific Oceans, steps away from Asilomar, where the workshop was held.

Much of the drive home to San Diego from Monterey was beautiful like this. (Santa Barbara County)

I was in Cuba for two weeks in February 2018. I taught two groups, a dozen each week. They came from all over the US and we had a fabulous time!

Crochet Mania!

My first scarf (Noro Yarn)

I've just (re)learned to crochet. I crochet in my twenties, made a rainbow colored sweater and when I tried it on it was huge! I don't think I ever wore it.

My third scarf (Noro Yarn)

I got the urge to try again, so I took an in person lesson to get started, then a friend helped me a bit more. Now I'm watching YouTube videos and making blankets!

Granny Squares (Caron 1lb yarn)

I am loving it and quite obsessed with it!

Buddy advises on the composition

BeBop approves of the finished blanket

I'm quite proud of my finished blanket, shown in our office/den. I'm already working on another blanket, this one for the bedroom. After all, I just don't too many scarves since I live in San Diego!

France ~ September 2017

Our fabulous group. Picture in Nice, France

I spent two fabulous weeks in France in September 2017. It was my reunion trip with The Blue Walk, and all 14 of the students were returning friends who'd traveled with me before.

We started Nice, France.
