Go West East, Young Man Woman
So, in the past 4ish years, I have lived in 4 distinct neighborhoods in DC. Only now that I’ve moved, yet again, did I realized that I’ve been on a steady eastern trajectory. Seriously, check out this map, which includes my most recent move.
Now, you may have noticed something significant. Something serious. A BIG change. I’m no longer an official resident of the District of Columbia. I’m back in Maryland, Mount Rainier to be specific. Before you start hurling epithets my way, let me reassure you, I’m still committed to DC. The District of Craftiness. The District of Awesome. Taxation without Representation.
First, I’m still walking distance from the DC line. I can walk into DC.
Second, I’m teaching a few beginning knitting classes in the Logan Circle neighborhood through Knit-A-GoGo. The classes are being held at my favorite cocoa bar, ACKC. These are beginner classes for now, but if there’s interest, I’d like to add some more advanced stuff. Maybe color theory and a workshop on knitting with hand-dyed yarns?
Third, the next incarnation of the sock club will focus on DC locations. Places that I love that are important to me. The Tidal Basin at the height of the cherry blossoms. The Botanical Gardens. Rock Creek Park. These are just examples. I’m still working out the particulars, but more information will be available soon.
And finally, my new neighborhood is awesome! I’m barely outside of town and I get a backyard, an artsy cafe around the block, a food coop, and a BOOMING community of artists. It’s hippie-town and I fit right in.
You guys will forgive me, right?
