He's cute, he's nice, he's hip and he can really knit. Jared Flood of Brooklyn Tweed. Of course he's young enough to be my son, or at least a kid I once babysat. It's not that kind of crush. Much. He's an incredible designer and photographer and teacher and the coolest guy. Go check out his work. It's okay, I'll wait.
I took two classes with him today: "A Taste of Lace" and "Advanced Cabling" which were very enlightening, and if you ask me nicely I'll share some of my new-found wisdom with you over a glass of wine.
Here he is enlightening us about steeks, a frightening technique where you cut your knitting right up the front without fear.
Here we are after class. Whew, made it through the scary part!
And he inscribed my copy of his book, Made in Brooklyn, but I can't share that with you 'cause it's private. Sigh.
OK. Time to go dream about all things wool.
Tomorrow: knitting stereotypes shattered! Stay tuned.
