Knitting is the New Black


I signed up for a knitting class at the cutest knitting café in Union Square. I took a 1 hour private lesson, hoping I would learn more and have time to fix the mistakes I have been making.

Well, I showed up for my lesson to find my teacher is the complete opposite of my sweet aunt Judi (who taught me how to knit) .
I had a male teacher, that was Israeli, bald, with a thick beard and tattoos over his entire body!
He was very nice, and extremely knowledgeable, just not what I was expecting. I pictured someone like Judi waiting at the table for me. I was looking for someone motherly that thought I could do no wrong…and clearly that is not what I got.

Only in New York, do you sign up for a knitting class and your teacher looks like he is lead singer in an Israeli punk rock band.
