I was recently contacted BY Andrea . Her mother had given her a challenge to make 21 hats for charity by October. So she started knitting. Loom knitting that is! She chose the Honeycomb Hat pattern from my site and went to town!
Just she emailed me and let me know . . . → Read More: A Great Project and How You can Help! I got a package today from Australia!!! My bling ring arrived! A little giftie from Denise Litchfield for my participation in the Stitching Up the NGA project! There are more photos being added daily on the National Gallery of Australia’s flickr account! You should check them out! Also.. in case you have been sitting around wondering just why I needed a drill or a knitting project, here is the work in progress: Don’t try this at home kids! It’s tough, slow tedious knitting! But I hope in the end it will be worth it. (and usable for that matter!) Saturday was A Knitter’s Fantasy. It is a local annual event with knitting classes, a fashion show and market.. as well as a swell swap table! I taught two classes. In the morning I taught learn to knit on looms, and in the afternoon I taught learn to knit on knitting boards. Well on Thursday I had arranged to meet a few of my knitting peeps at a local strip mall at 7am so I could ride with them. Saturday morning came and I woke up at 7:10!! I quickly found my phone and called them and they said not to worry they would pick me up because I was on the way.. I had 10 minutes to get ready.. Fortunately I had everything packed up and ready to roll. Brian had picked up some nice breakfast buns and some Mountain Dew the night before.. and he even made me some coffee! After switching shirts and shoes twice( I won’t tell you what I stepped in..) barely brushing my hair and consulting them with directions twice we were on our way.. After getting slightly lost (nothing we couldn’t handle) on the way we arrived! At the registration table.. they couldn’t find my one teaching packet! Yikes! They looked through the box twice and then suddenly after just looking the booklet over and figuring out where my classes were, the thing appeared in the box! I then figured out that my first class was at 9 when I had signed up for 9:30.. oh well. I was a little late. The class went well and at lunch I went to the market.. after all they gave us some ‘funny money’ as a reward for teaching the classes.. In the market I ran into my old boss and an old co worker who had come out from PA to check this thing out! It was nice to see them! (Hi Toni and Marge!) I also got myself this:
So in the end though some odd things happened it all turned out well! A friend of mine, Anna, from my local knitting group is planning on walking in the Breast Cancer 3 day this year. I have created a button on my sidebar and hope that some of you will consider supporting her, and donating to this very important cause. She’ll walk 60 miles over the course of three days with thousands of other women and men. The net proceeds will support breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment through Susan G. Komen for the Cure and the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund. To that end.. all the proceeds from my pattern sales in the month of April will go to support Anna’s efforts! Please, spread the word, and if you would like a button to put on your blog or website email me at Denise at Knitchat dot com and I will be glad to give you the code to do that! Look for a new pattern some time this month!! WAY back I showed you an online comic that featured me as the Knitting Ninja.. wielding knitting needles rather than nunchucks off I went into adventure.. Well now there is a new.. REAL.. comic in town: Coming soon to a knitting shop near you is Handknit Heroes. I was a lucky duck and . . . → Read More: Move over Knitting Ninja! WOW! I cannot believe that this year is almost over, can you? The observant among you will have noticed the Blog 365 badge on my sidebar..I joined Blog 365 at the beginning of the year, and thought it would be a daunting challenge! It was! It is difficult to come up with a blog . . . → Read More: Blog 365! And a contest! |
