Twin Cities yarn/ knitting excitement
Many things are happening in the Twin Cities this weekend. First the Shop hop is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Visit the 6 participating shops in the hop and get clues to a question in each store. Answer the question correct and get a stamp on your treasure map. Get all six stamps and be entered into a drawing for $3,000.00. I did not have enough time in the weekend to get to the shop hop.
Instead Friday, I went to St. Paul, to the Women's Consortium and picked up 8 shawls and 33 scarves made from the Vision impaired knitters and crocheters at Vision Loss Resources. I think they are absolutely wonderful. I had a request for 5 shawls and sent several out on Friday when I got home.
Saturday was the day to organize the knitting room and Sunday is Twin Cities Knit Out 2006. It is being held at Brookdale Center in Brooklyn Park. I will be there helping set up the items at 10:00 AM for the Yarn Garage and then at 12:30 I need to rush to West St. Paul. Augusta Lutheran Church is having a shawl ministry presentation. The women from Knitting into the Mystery will be there. I am excited. I almost have Pappa's sweater done. He tried it one, the neckline needs adjustment. Then I will block it and he should be able to wear it before the snow falls next weekend. I am working on a chenille and fun fur shawl for Kansas, I still have the little lace one going. I do have a date to return to Rocking Horse Farms to learn how to make shawls on a knitting machine. I don't think I am a convert, but everything has it's place. It remains to be seen if I will like it or not. Not much else and the knitting room is still a disaster with stuff, crawling out of the room and into the hall. I best go take care of it.
Blessings,
Remember we never walk alone.
