Think about the weight of them, ugh! All that weight resting on the outside of your hand. They do make a size 35 in plastic, still awkward. Doable, but fun?

I agree! Today's class was my Christmas present from Boyd. It's all I wanted and I am so happy Prudence opened the second class. Going to try to get the pics onto the NJfiberfanatics group pages.

I agree...had to get it off my chest too. You are also right...Prudence's class was wonderful! I've heard complaints about their staff from multiple people, which is unfortunate, since it is a great yarn space! She is a great and patient teacher and I can't tell you how happy I am that I had the opportunity to take a class with her!

I was in the next class and also had issues with the folks who ran the workshop. We had a free loader sitting in on the class. Sat to the left of "The Wall" knitting socks, but walked around the tables checking the samples and listened to the whole thing. When it was ending, she packed up and left the store. We had a lot of shoppers going over and bumping us to move so they could see the wall and coat. We paid, they didn't. It's not like they might have decided to sign up once they checked everything out and asking us to move was the height of inappropriate. The store personel did nothing. When I told one of them she said that the store does get very crowded. Last class I take there, but with that off my chest, the class itself was wonderful and Prudence took time to explain the variety of stitches and techniques to get the look of this and that we saw on "The Wall." The time flew and I am excited to get off the computer and back to what I was working on. I also took a load of pictures.

You are going to have a great time! Prudence is a wonderful teacher and an even better friend. I'll be in the morning class. If you are in the morning class as well, please say hi!
