     When taking a knitting class you also have to think about what you need for the class and any homework that you might have to get done before the class. Sometimes this means a trip to the yarn store. Oh, the horror! I have to go to the yarn store to get supplies.

     As you know I am going to Interweave Knitting Lab in May and I have 7 classes to prepare for. So, tonight I started gathering supplies from my stash to prepare. I got 7, 1-gallon zip lock bags and printed out the requirements for each class. Here are the items that I need to bring to my classes:

• Math for Knitters
• pen, paper and calculator
• Pattern Writing
• pen and paper
• Double Knitting Cables
• 2 contrasting colors of plain yarn in the sport to DK weight range
• pair of straight or circular needles in the proper size or a size or two larger
• Four Short Rows for Four Shapes
• 2 ozs of smooth and light-colored worsted weight wool
• #8 needles
• 12 knitter's safety pins
• Get Gauge (or Not!)
• #7, #8 and #9 needles
• 50 gram ball of worsted weight yarn in light color, wool or wool blend
• pen, paper, calculator and tape measure
• Introduction to Brioche Knitting
• Smooth worsted weight yarn in a light solid color
• double pointed or 32" circular needle in size 5 or 6
• stitch markers and locking stitch markers
• Two Socks in One: The War & Peace Method
• 2 colors of medium weight yarn
• size 6-8 needles in preferred configuration for sock knitting (dpn, 1 long circular, 2 short circular)

     The underlined items above are all items that I need to get from the store for my classes. I guess I will trudge out tomorrow and SHOP.

     Only 3 of my classes have homework and one is to watch a video on craftsy.com in preparation for the class.
