Okay, So this time I have legitimate reasons for not blogging. Not that I am feeling obligated,Kristi!!!
First my computer died-I managed to save my knitting patterns(Thank God) thanks to Bert the computer guy but after trying fix the old harddrive he was forced to start from scratch.
Second, I went to California with Sarah. We had a great time-and a $12.00 Margarita!!!! I hope I get "invited" to a stitches event sometime with her. Hint,Hint! The TKGA was fun and both of us fell completely down in the Vendors Fair. Me especially! We also went to the best Farmer's Market I had ever seen! All Organic and so much we had never seen before. That California growing cycle is something.
Then, I went to Drummond Island with several friends to Rae's Retreat. We had a great time-Gwen Bortner,the teacher, was wonderful and we learned lots. We stopped at Cynthia's in Macinaw City both ways!! Yes, both, and we bought both times. Great little shop jammed full of knitting! Worth the trip if you are in the area.
I did get lots of knitting done-baby items for various showers I will be attending and have given. My neice was thrilled with the baby shrug,Tulip Cardigan, baby kimonos,hat and more that I knitted for her. In California I bought a great book with a knitted sundress-I made a large size for a demo for the Yarn Garden and now a small size for her soon to be daughter. And, Big News, My son ,Adam and his wife Mel, are finally expecting #2. Carsen is 6 so I had given up hope. Can't wait to find out what it is so I can get knitting. A cashmere purchase (or 4) that I made in California is waiting .
My Dad loved his vest-Carsen got dog hair hunting socks like his Dad's-and a purse or 2 are awaiting Christmas.
My last news, we have adopted 2 Kittens!! The loss of Spike(I still see his shadow every day around the house) called for a new family member. We said,"NO more Dogs"-but we have had cats over the years too. Our new family members are an Orange and White and his brother an Orange Tabby. They are named,repectively, Calvin and Hobbes after my favorite Cartoon boy and his stuffed Tiger whom our Hobbes is a spitting image . I had to sign a paper promising to keep them inside-or I couldn't adopt. So far, they are fitting in perfectly.
I have been making lots of baby socks from a plymouth yarn from Cynthia's. They are so cute-and some baby sweaters from Lindsay(Yarn Garden) out of Her new Organic wool(O-Wool) which are also to die for!! That organic wool and cotton washes up so softly!!!! Perfect for Babies!
So is her Cash Vero!
Soft,Soft,Soft and so beautiful to knit with!! Come to Charlotte and see all her new yarns-
If Kristi can blog with her busy life-I will try to blog more often. Does anyone read me????
