New Technology

Last Thursday the topic of "Twitter" was brought up at the shop. So I thought I would see what it is all about. Haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but you can find me at http://twitter.com/knitone99 . If you are wanting to learn, sign up and lets see if we can find each other. CNN and other news broadcasts are "twittering" so for sure knitters are too. Aren't knitters always on top of things?

Knitting Leprechaun

Hi Knitters,

Thought I would get an early start on St. Patty's, besides the regular green beer I drink all year. Isn't he cute? The pattern came from 2005 Knitting Calendar. Knit up really fast and then sewed up sloooowly.

Also finished the Baby Surprise, which came out nicely. Everyone should do one just for the fun of the "surprise".

All of Jani's UFO finishing is sparking me to finish a few things. Now, I only have two projects on needles, but I don't know if it counts if the project was never started but all the supplies have been gathered. If so, then I have a ways to go to get even with Jani, and I am not about to injure my knee just to finish all the UFOs, (can't believe she did that).

Take care, Jane

jani's update after knee surgery

Hello all my knitting friends,
My surgery to my right knee went well. They Doc. actually replaced my torn in half ACL with a cadaver ACL. Some very nice person( I'm hoping a very good skiier) donated their ACL to me.
I have been (as Kay wrote to me)Knitting myself to health!( not crazy). I am pulling out UFO's and getting several things completed. If I couldn't knit I probably would go crazy.
I go to therapy twice a wk, am not allowed to drive and have to wear my brace all the time even to sleep and have to be on crutches for 6 wks. The couch and the recliner are my best friends. I really like to watch the cooking channel, The Doctors show at 3PM on channel 3 and then Ellen.
All the while knitting of course.
Thank you for the cards that have been sent and some of you have ventured up to Alliance and have come and visited. My husband is the most wonderful man and care giver but visiting with other women have been great mental health times that I have appreciated more than you know.
Please other Thursday knitters blog so I can keep up with what is going on at the store and with everyone else.
Love you guys,
jani
