This past weekend, Vogue Knitting Live came to Pasadena, California. In anticipation, I had signed up for a class months in advance. I chose the Little Dragon Toy Workshop, featuring designer Susan B. Anderson, because I thought it would be a fun project. Due to a long and tedious drive from Temecula to Pasadena and problematic parking at the Convention Center once I got there, I was late to class by 1/2 hour, the last one to sign in. Of course, this put me out of sync and I never did settle in and enjoy the class as much as I might otherwise have done. Still, I was able to absorb most of the tips and insight which the instructor offered for this pattern in her lecture. I took the written instructions and was able to finish my dragon at home, as there simply was not enough time to complete this fellow in class. My toy dragon is knit with two strands of fingering-weight yarn (Knit Picks Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn) and Size 5 double pointed needles; a fun and relatively easy pattern that knitted up very quickly. He's a keeper!
