Busting up those stereotypes
The Catholic school girls got knitty last night!

Jenn is working on a beautiful sweater coat (from Hip to Knit) with Brown Sheep Co.’s Burly Spun in Forest Floor. This stuff is so luscious! It will be a great coat for the winter!

Shayna is working hard on the ribbed scarves for her friends who are getting married next week. She is knitting fast to finish them up. Poor Shayna has to wear a brace when she knits because of wrist pain. So, she puts her *cast on*… eh, stupid knitter joke… sorry. It did not go over too well when I tried it last night, either!  |
| The phenomenon continues! Everyone wants to be a knitibrarian! I know there are several of you out there, so I made a little button for us! I will improve it sometime in the future… when I get a little more time. |  |
Kris and I are planning our trip to New Orleans, and I was looking up some yarn shops down there… and then I stumbled across something a lot closer to home! KnitNStyle’s website has an LYS locator, and they have a listing for my town! I heard about this shop from Amie a few weeks ago, but I did not know when they were opening. So, I called the number on the website, and they have their grand opening on OCTOBER 8th! If any one around here would like to go that day, let me know. We can give the new shop a warm welcome!
I received two wonderful gifts yesterday from some very thoughtful people:
 From Harlot Steph! |
 From Bethany! |
Harlot’s handspun arrived (I was worried it had been lost in the mail!) and Bethany sent THREE great cookbooks! She is a vegetarian hockey-lover like me! Thank you both for the sweet gifts!
I just ordered some goodies from Elann.com for some holiday gifts… it is that time of year…
| Rusta is so tired he can barely hold his head up… he works so hard! He is almost the same color as the floor! *meow* |  |
Hey! I’m the one that sent you email last week asking for titles of books to help a beginner. Thanks again. I bought Stitch ‘n Bitch and have started the same scarf probably five times already. I think I know what I’m doing now.
I don’t know whether you’ve been there before, but when you head to New Orleans take the time to go to Cafe Du Monde for beignets. They are an excellent treat, but definitely not made for anyone who is trying to lose weight.
I love the little button you made, it is so cute!
Thanks for offering to help with banner stuff. I will definitely drop you an email sometime soon with my predicament… unless of course DH can do all the magical things that he claims he can.
I wish I could join you on oct 8 but DH and I are heading to a friends beach house. our final hurrah for summer. I hope you have a great time, and cant wait to see pics!
I love the button! I’m putting it on my blog as soon as I can.
Thanks.
