Where does all the time go. Thanks for all the kind words about the retreat. It is fun to organize and a delight to attend for me too. Ask Jan what she found in her knitting bag after she arrived!
My Mom is here and enjoys seeing everyone at the shop. Knitted a hat for Dylan, finished a dress for Brooke and a scarf for Stefani. Working on a capelet from Knit Stitch by SallyMelville. Leaves next Monday.
I finished the miles of edging on the Pi shawl. Allowed myself to start a diagonal jacket knit from Taos. The pattern has been on my wishlist for over a year. Working on Christmas stockings for 2 customers and one for Miss Olivia, Now 6 weeks old. Must finish her car seat blanket since it is getting cold.
REMEMBER Nov 10 through 17 the Southwest Trading "Boot Camp " trunk show will be at the shop. 10th and 17th come and learn to knit socks. Features Tofutsie yarn but check out the new sock yarn from Collinette.
There was a series of articles on Knit Daily about UFO's I want to compile the info and share it with you all...there were 65000 UFO's admitted to in their survey !
Knit Pink last Saturday resulted in a $50.00 contribution to Breast Cancer research. (10% of days sales)
Have a good Halloween...may you have more treats then tricks ! Chief Knit Wit

Hi everyone! I have made it to cyberspace also. It's fun to read your posts.
Kay, thank you so much for th Sheep Over! I had more fun this time than the first time.
I loved the needle felting. I didn't think I would so the moral is to try something different every so often then make your judgement, don't pre judge.
Toni has a candidates "meet n greet" or it could be "get in the skillet and fry" thing tonite so I won't be at the Shop again! I keep thinking "this week I'll get there" and something else comes before it. Saturday I work and then more campaigning.
Hope to see you all soon

Sheep(no sleep)over
Pam, I don't know how you could write anything so coherent at 12AM.
What a fun 2 days! Kay is the most low-key, organized person I know. Everything went so smoothly. Knitting, eating, knitting, eating, talking, laughing, eating, knitting. The needle-felting was more fun than I imagined. Seeing the "overachieving-knitters'" finished show-and-tells was inspiring and motivating. Will I ever reach that point? Pia was a fun addition and everyone seemed enthralled with her description of yarn dying and painting.
Next year I'm spending the night. I'm sure they are dog-friendly at the Inn-- I'll just ask for a 1st floor room.

SHEEPOVER
Well, it's over for another year :(
Kay's 6th annual Sheepover in Columbiana was another success. More people, many more laughs, a few goofs (who knew we were supposed to be reading the pattern !)
Now it's back to reality after getting to knit constantly for two days.....well, except for when we were EATING.....some of us will be fasting for a few days after all that scrumptious food.
It was so nice to meet Flo's very artistic daughter, Michelle. We missed Flo on Saturday.
Also missed Jan today, but she was busy making sure her Penguins won !!!!
Thank you Kay for all your hard work, we appreciate it.

Canfield Spinners
For Pam and any other Spinner Wannabe,
Come to the Canfield spinners group at the fairgrounds, in the Colonial Bldg. If you come to just observe or bring knitting to do, you will see that it doesn't matter that you are a beginner. It is just a small group of women yaking, most of them from WRKG. There is no formality and no meetingof any kind, also no snacks (I say boo-hoo to that). Barb Moff and Bonnie Smiley have helped several people learn at this group. Barbara Lyons, Jean Wise and Michelle Collins-Sibley were beginners when the group first started and now they do a great job spinning.
Just Do It!!
