Yet Another Gathering Opportunity

Next Friday and Saturday Nov 30 and Dec 1 is the Christmas Openhouse in Salem. Friday there will carriage rides and strolling carolers. Luminaries will be up and down State St. Knit Wits will be open until at least 8 and maybe as late as 9. Come and keep me company. Saturday at 1 is the parade and other activities downtown.
The holiday season is upon us....what is everyone working on for gifts? Will you make it in time?I have mittens to make for a customer a stocking for Olivia and a sleeve for a customers UFO. I am currently working on a car seat blanket for the aforementioned Olivia, a original Upside down coat and a diagonal knit cardigan and an Einstein. These are the NEW UFO's ....won't go into the others .
Have a good week. See some of you at the Gathering this Monday. Chief Knitwit

Yay Peggy is back home where she belongs. I know Kim is very relieved and I am sure her son Brad is glad the experience is over.
Thankful ...let me count the ways. I am glad for each and every one of you Knit Witters who come and share "my space". I am thankful for knitting; the art that brings us all together.
I am thankful for my family...all the little people who will grace our table tomorrow and those too far away to come and feast.
I am thankful for our country and the men and woman who are away from home this Thanksgiving defending it.
I am thankful for friends through laughter and tears.
I am thankful for 41 years with Mr T as of next Tuesday.
I wish you all a wonderful holiday and the hope for a blessed Christmas season as well.

GOBBLE, GOBBLE, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY FELLOW KNITTERS

I hope all my knitting friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.
We're taking my dad out with us as I don't think my "new" knee would withstand
all the cooking etc. (good excuse anyway ! )
I'm thankful that all my family and friends are doing well. That my daughter
Sheri's neurosurgeon is going to fix her back on the 30th. And that her
husband will be able to come home from Iraq to be with her for 6-8 weeks.
That means that my grandsons will have their dad home for the Christmas,
so that's an extra special blessing.
I'm so thankful for all my friends at Knit Wits who help each other thru
every "crisis" whether large or small. It's cheap therapy and we always seem
to get some laughs and hugs or a good cry when we need it.
love,
pam

PEGGY IS BACK!! A man called me this morning saying he thought he had my dog. He was traveling east on Western Reserve (not a block from our house) and saw the poster at 45 and Western. I had him describe her and it sounded like Peggy. We met him at McDonalds (next to Petland. ha.) and it sure was Peggy. I guess someone in his family had picked her up on Western and she went from one sister's house to another and now he took her. No one wanted her. Well, WE DO and now we have her. I'm off to the vet's shortly to get his microchip stuff straightened out. Thank you all my great friends for caring so much and hoping for Peggy to return. I'm sure you'll see us very soon.

Happy Thursday Everyone

It was a great night sorry so many of you missed it. It snowed like crazy but didn't accumulate at all on my way home...I was thankful for that.
I am finishing up on a sweater with Kay's help,,,thank goodness for her, I can sure tell you that.
It was fun to have a new person tonight...I already have forgotten her name but Amy invited her and she is learning how to knit,,If she would stop talking long enough...I challenged her to finish her first project to "show & tell" in 2 weeks...She is making a scarf...:-)
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE
P.S.
Everyone post this next week and tell about something you are thankful for...
I am thankful for our group on thursdays,,,I think it's my therapy for the week and when I think I need a little extra I also arrive on a saturday..it's a bonus.
I'm thankful that Flo's Mom is improving and we have a NEW hope that we will see "Peggy" again.
Also that Pam did fine with her surgery...did I forget anything????
SHELLI
