Well, that month flew by-I may not be really great at this posting ritual!! Today is finally a beautiful almost ,maybe soon spring day and the sun is really out!
I don't know what it is about the last month , but I can't seem to stop buying yarn. I now enough yarn in just this new explosion of retail heaven to last all of us a lifetime. I love the new line of Sublime(see some at Rae's or lots at Lavender and Peonies in DeWitt. I love the new wool Blam Boo from Classic Elite(i think) ,see it at The Clever Ewe in Ada or Threadbear. I am making Caitlin a ballerina style wrap sweater from the WBB and it knits up so beautifully! Yes, I know I need pictures-hopefully soon my daughter will arrive to save the day-unless she or hubby heads for Iraq. Do I need to say what I think of WB???
I am still finishing the Shawl Collared Vest by Meg for my Dad. I have ripped the collar out 4 times because I don't like the way the increases look so I have ignored it's pulsating presence and made a mobieus, a baby sweater and the ballet sweater. It is like the Tell Tale Heart by Edgar Alan Poe--bu-bump,bu-bump next to my chair.
It is time to sign up for Knitting Camp but due to the possiblity of deployment to Iraq by my Marines I am not going this summer....:(- I need to keep July open in case Caitlin needs a home for the summer and beyond. Also , I want to go to Rae's Retreat in Oct.(see her website for details) and any retreat the Guild chooses so perhaps I need to think thrifty. My yarn budget leaked over my food budget this last month-no, we are not any thinner-Mac and Cheese is cheap and filling.
My Quivet is also pulsating-I just can't find the perfect lacy pattern for either a scarf or mitts. Suggestions are welcome.
There is also a Candace Eisner Strick weekend of classes in Marshall put on by the South Central Michigan Knitting Guild. It is March 31 and April 1 but I do really want to go see the Harlot in AA on April 1st.... so many choices and a bored husband to leave behind.
Can't wait to get a new large Go Pouch--I plan to try knitting while I walk for exercise. This should prove interesting as coordination and I have never been personally introduced.
On to knitting-but if you know of any shops or retreats I may have missed, please fill me in-I don't have a thing to knit or a square to spare.
Happy Trails.

Long time, no post. Glad to see you came back. As for pictures. There is a small picture icon on the right hand side of the menu on the posting screen. Just click on that, it pops up a new window. Click the browse button on the left hand side to pull pictures off of your computer. Then click the button at the bottom of the screen to get the picture. :)
I already sent her a long e-mail about how to post pictures, to no avail!
Glad to see you're back, Pat!
