Hello to all,
Yes, I know, I haven't been blogging! I will do better. I have been knitting. Mainly baby things like a beaded baby bonnet out of Artyarns beaded yarn in pink chocolate, several baby kimonos in Malabrigo(which may be my favorite new yarn-check out Threadbear, but leave me some).
The Yarn Garden, my LYS, has been bought by Lindsay Harmon. She is only 24( I have fat older than that) but is multi-talented and a fabulous knitter. Soon all new stock will arrive. Be there. She is now open Mondays and Two night-Tues. and Thurs. Support her please-she will have a website and of course will ship anywheres.
Been very busy with Kindergarten Roundup-2 more days to go and they are long ones-8am to 8pm. One mother asked for a weekend appt.-sure, you bet, like I don't want to have a life. So the day after that nightmare ends I am off to South Carolina to visit my Marines and see my Granddaughter's dance recital. They are still in S.C. but will be moving to Quantico by Jan.(stay tuned the military changes its mind more than most people change their underwear) and hopefully(please pray and cross your fingers) Amanda will be joining the group of Marines that guard and travel with the president on the presidential helicopter. It is a great honor to just be considered and they sought her out for the job so we are hoping for her that she passes the background check(all crazy relatives are requested to lay low) so that the job is hers. And it will keep her out of Iraq.
I am taking knitting to S.C.-my new STR club yarn and pattern and some other UFOs--but Jumproping may get in the way. It is Caitlin's new passion and it may kill me.
Go to sarahpeasley.com and link to her blog to see the blanket that many of us made squares for to surprise her after a bad winter. I think she was pleased and tears were in many eyes.
I got some of the new Beesweet African yarn at The Knitting Room in Rochester. Any ideas what I should do with it? Dreamweaversyarn.com has a cute cardigan pattern to go with the yarn but I don't know if I have enough. The Knitting Room is a great shop. Also went to Skeins on Main and Have You Any Wool. Skeins was great-Have you, was so so. My knitting partner Norma grew up in that area so she knew the hot spots.
More soon. Did I mention that mothers of 5 year olds are annoying? Yes, we know your child is a genius but he is a boy and a late November birthday means his social skills may need tweeking(til he is at least 26 research shows!) so maybe Young 5's may be the better placement. Yes, I know he is a genius--just wish you were!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Pat! I attended the Lucy Neatby workshop today and just wanted to thank you again for letting me have the gift certificate! It was a lovely day and I learned a few new tricks!
