I was really tempted to go anyways, because the classes look amazing. I might go to next years.

I do not have this problem. Here in Germany there are no courses like these. <br /><br />Yesterday I have confirmed my registration for "Stitch from Stash". About my g.mail address (BlackCat....).

I'm just hoping to be able to save enough money by next month to be able to take DH and I to Stitches West - gas to get there/home, food/drink while there, and to buy a skein and maybe a new hook.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924171000713127817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7151631851174627929.post-80668991168444607132015-01-11T08:20:02.101-07:002015-01-11T08:20:02.101-07:00Ouch, that's very expensive.
