And . . . once I started going down the "what do I miss" rabbit hole, here's something else.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
The highlight of any teaching show is meeting students who have knit my designs. It's still such an over the top thrill. Palm Canyon came out during Covid, so I never got the joy of running into knitter who were wearing it. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I so look forward to seeing all your Palm Canyons (and next Affiknitys) in person.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To next year!⁠⠀

So going through old teaching photos also made me miss seeing all my friends. One of the greatest things about teaching shows like @vogueknitlive, that have multiple teachers, is getting to spend a bit of time with your pals. This is one of the things I miss the most about this year. The drinks after a long day of teaching, grabbing a quick bite of lunch before dashing off to your next class, even the quick drive by hug in the hall as you run to your next class as you yell over your shoulder "how's your show going?" "Good, you?", "good, meet in the bar later."⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I even miss teacher meetings (last pic) especially whenever Gabby (our fearless leader) stands on a table. Okay, in a decade it was only twice. Once at our very first VK NY when we were all so excited and rowdy she had to stand on the table to get our attention, and then on the 10th anniversary show when she stood on the table to take a group photo (but the old timers in the room new she was really doing it so we'd all remember what it was like when we first started).⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Did you used to go to shows with a group of friends? Do you try to join virtual events together. What do you miss?⁠⠀
