Harry's Hundred Donation to Children Of Pine Ridge
You know Bridget has a donation drive going for Harry's Hundred.
I am sending this little baby hat and some child's socks to the Children Of Pine Ridge today in Harry's honor.
Happy to join in.
In other big exciting to me news, Amy Beth of the Fat Squirrel mentioned lil ol me, Huckmon on Rav, on her latest podcast.
The 171 st podcast and the 10th minute....
Squeal!!!!!
She's growing tomato plants etc and I mentioned the book the
64 Dollar Tomato.
Anyhow, I just love watching her podcasts.
And, By the way, she makes amazing project bags and she is having a sale coming up which includes
CRAZY CAT LADY knit bags.
The other day I was in my LYS and someone was knitting
this Cabin Fever child/baby cardigan in purple mesa classic elite yarn. The woman knitting it found the yarn and fell in love.
Then she found a pattern.
Do you find the pattern , then the yarn?
Do you find the yarn and then the pattern?
Sometimes I do it one way, sometimes the other.
Oh one more thing....another LYS that I don't get to often is having a Mothers day coffee cake and coffee knit time on Mother's day.
I think that is so generous of the owner to do .
Mosaic, in Mt Prospect is the shop.
That's all for today.
I wish you amazing Luck today.
Comments
The socks and the baby hat are just adorable. I know they will be much appreciated.
As for finding the yarn or the pattern first, I go back and forth. When I first learned to knit, it was always the yarn first. Now I'm a little more circumspect, and won't buy yarn just and only because I like it ...
I'll have to go listen to that podcast now. Squeee.....!
I buy yarn and patterns totally independently; if I like it, and can afford it, I get it. Pairing them up comes randomly, too, depending on whether I come across a pattern that interests me, or yarn that begs to be used.
Hugs,
Meredith
