Great Connections and a ‘Smidge’ of Knitting..
Azia and I went to Wine and Wool today. It was rather small, but I understand there was some difficulty when the main person organizing the event had to step down. We also got there late in the day so I am not sure if people had already left or not.
Made a great connection though! I met the owner of the new Yarnia shop! Melissa. She is super nice. She had a lot of great yarns there, and it sounds like the shop is going to be great!! A cafe, classrooms, and yarn of course! Looks like I will be working on switching the Stitch n’ Bitch group to a new location! She was very receptive to us meeting there.. (yes Ashley.. you are double doomed!!)
She also had two things at the festival that I have been dying to get, but really didn’t want to pay the shipping on to order online.. The Lucy Bag Pattern, (I need to do something with all the wool I have since I can’t really wear it!) and the The Knitter’s Handy Guide to Yarn Requirements
. It is awsome!! I don’t know what I have done without it!!
I whipped this up last night on my knitting board..
I needed a serious break from work knitting!! And this sure fit the bill.
I need to weave in the ends, and maybe I will wear it to church tommorrow.
I also made yogurt.. Kansas will be beaming at that! Hopefully it will be good!
All in all A good day..I’m energized…how’s about you?
PS. The fall sale on my patterns will continue through the end of October! Remember all you have to do to get $1 off each pattern is to enter the code fallsale and it will give you the discount! Enjoy!

Stash Reallocation…ie. Sale…
I am taking a day off from some ‘work’ knitting to regroup and reorganize and do some jobs I have neglected over the last few weeksdays.I went to the local craft shop that is closing because I needed buttons, but they were out! I really wasn’t going to buy anything but then I spotted this basket that is perfect for keeping my knitting boards organized. Then I saw they were selling some shop fixtures including some great metal bins that would be perfect for keeping my stash in! Better than the flimzy ones I have now so I am re-allocating some stash, and hoping to cover the cost of the bins at the same time!
So here goes: (and don’t forget my Fall Sale on patterns, simply put the code fallsale and you get $1.00 off!)
I have a few of the same items.. that I thought I had found new homes for but fell through the cracks!
I prefer PayPal for payment, but I can deal with other forms of payment. Check or money order.

Sock on a rock!
Really quick.. I used some yarn that Lynn Markman sent me.. some really pretty stuff, and made a sock on my little knitting board! It looks pretty good.. I need to make the second one.. I only brought 1 ball of the yarn with me.. and I need to make some more to tweak it a little.. but I think it will turn out nicely. It of course, being double knit, is a house sock.. or as I prefer to call it a Catskills Cottage Sock! See it already has a name!
Lynn’s yarn is so nice. It is really springy which makes it a winner for loom knitting.. and from what she tells me this is her ribbon winning yarn from the fair. It won for the dye work on the skeins. It is pretty. A black and blue barber pole effect and the blue has some variation in tone lighter and darker.. which makes it even more interesting! I give it two thumbs up myself!! So if you get a chance to try Lynn’s yarns do it!!

A Plesant Day All Around
This has been quite a pleasant day! The weather is perfect.. we have been enjoying the visit from my sister in law and her two boys.. I got a package with a bit of yarn in it, and my test knitter Sue is AWSOME!
Check this out! The Swing Jacket looks soo good on her! She started it on Monday and all she has left is the sleeves!
SUPER
FAST
KNIT!
AWSOME!
I couldn’t be more pleased. So after another once over, and adding some photos and diagrams tonight I should have this pattern out for you all tomorrow! And I will draw a name from my commenters on Saturday’s post for a kit which will include the pattern and the yarn needed for them to make the jacket for themselves!! So there is still time to comment, and get in the drawing!!! I will probably draw a name around 9 am tomorrow so get your comment in by then if you want to win!Plus I learned something new I want to try out on the looms! Totally fun!! Can’t wait!
Paying the bills…
