Greetings! Well thank you Clara for mentioning me in your Knitter's Review article!...Many women signed up for the shopping cart today...so welcome all! I urge you to read the Shopping Cart Information on the Bags For Sale Page to get a good understanding of how things work. A busy week, and although I didn't get to any clutches or Lil' Yarn Sacks...I do have 8 stellar bags! I'm still working on the next felted Lil' Yarn Sack (hope to have it ready next week) but am enjoying using the one I made (and felted) last week....see it housing a current crochet project....a Catherine's Wheel Scarf (stash baby wool). More clutches & Lil' Yarn Sacks next week...Wendy (sister) is visiting from Maine, so no doubt we'll have fun watching the Olympics tonight! Paul and Woody are off on a mountain bike trip...just overnight. We continue to have rain...and lots of it, but today it was beautiful...did it have to be beautiful on a Thursday???? But I was glad to have the sun out for great pictures. I had fun helping Jen of at Northeast Fiber Arts on Sunday. She was closed, but we spent 4 hours organizing her new pattern system...I had a ball! Anytime spent in a yarn shop is time well spent...yes? YES. On Saturday I drove to Bristol for an antique fair that turned out to be not as great as many had hoped. I did get a great batch of buttons though...in a shop that makes candles, sells vintage fabric & antiques...and lots of great vintage items. She poured out 8 large canning jars full of buttons for me to dig though. The shop was cozy, full of that lovely bees wax smell...gorgeous floral fabrics all around, great old big band music was playing, and as I was going through the buttons, 'Did I die and go to heaven' did go through my mind. I picked up a beautiful hank of hand dyed, hand spun yarn, and wrapped it on my noste. Cabled fingerless mitten #1 is completed...#2 is in the works. Have a great week all, and remember good women... knit on! Martha. |
