I attended a workshop yesterday at a LYS
Woolwinders called
Aran Cardigans from the Top Down with
Beth Brown-Reinsel. It was a small class with only 9 people. Beth was delightful and I loved looking at her show and tell sweaters. I have always wanted to knit Marilyn and purchased the pattern from Beth. It's the paprika sweater in the second photo.
Our class project was to knit a little sampler sweater that is perfect for a little teddy bear. The pictures are of Beth's sampler as I did not finish mine in class.
We were given a very nice 31-page handout. Beth also signed my copy of
Knitting Ganseys.

oooh, Marilyn looks gorgeous. Sounds like a fun day!
Wish I could have been there! I just bought that book and plan to knit the sampler sweater. Is that the one she taught? I like the Marilyn sweater, too! And, I love that paprika color....hmmmmm....dare I.....
Isn't Beth a sweetie? I loved the workshop I took with her. How nice to just have 9 people in the group!
For Rebecca in co - Beth's sampler in the book is a Gansey and is made differently from the Aran top down. But it's way fun to knit!
I love how she teaches the techniques by making little sweaters.
Oh, it sounds like you had such a fun time! And the sweaters are so gorgeous, I love the cabling!
i like marilyn also, which yarn did she use for paprika?
I missed Beth this year when she came to town but the LYS says she should be back for that workshop in early 2007. It's nice to hear good things about it.
Can't wait to see your Marilyn!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I"m taking the same class next week at Stitches in Chicago from her.
