Got serious about it two years ago. CLAIM TO FAME: Brooklyn Tweed FAVORITE LYS: Online shops CURENT UFO: He has many projects on the needles but believes that he will complete a sweater from Denim People next. FAVORITE DESIGNER: Kim Hargreaves POM-POM: Yes to pom-poms. He feels pretty great about them. KNIT IN PUBLIC: Yes, on long bus rides, but not on the subway. Too much stress on the train. GROUPIE OR LOANER: Loaner, he enjoys the conversation, but it just doesn't happen for him. LAST YARN PURCHASE: Bought a sweater's worth of Jaeger Trinity from WEBS LATEST BOOK: Last ten books he bought were knitting books. He doesn't know what the last one was though. SHOW NOTES: OK, so I am putting this out earlier than I thought because I wanted people to know about the events that are comming up. I know people need advance warning because I know people in Boston will want to go. Also... last minute additions Shannon Okey will be at Mind's eye on Satyrday the 7th and Stitchy McYarnpants will be at the Porter Square Book Shop on Oct 13th. Who knew having a topical show would require so many announcments. That being said, the interview I did with Jared has been one of the most wonderful things I have done so far. He is truely an interesting and thoughtful knitter and was very engaging. Not to mention how astonsihingly beautiful it was in the park that day. Lot's of good stuff to come in the near future, I have my review copy of Knitting with Balls and will bring it ot the KGB group tonight for a little discussion. I'll let you guys know more next week.
