This gorgeous shell with shawl designed by Carol Porter is being modeled by AL. Why? Because it our LYS top selling pattern of the month and its going to one of our KIP winners. Isn't it beautiful? It is knitted in Blue Heron Yarn's cotton and rayon Seed. Oh the trouble with contests is picking a winner. The real winner of course is Illinois Burn Camp, who is getting a nice donation on behalf of all who KIP"d. I've decided to give two knitters a prize. The nurses in us made us partial to our Angel Flight volunteer knitter Sandy. She'll be finding two skeins of Fortissima Cotton Colori in her mailbox soon, along with The Knitters Handy Guide to Yarn Requirements. Next winner, well it has to be Dani. She had her BROTHER help her take the photos. Now anyone with a brother knows this deserves a prize. THe brother actually had to go along to the diner and the park and take said photos for her. Dani will be finding two skeins of Knit Picks Sock Garden in Hydrangea in her mailbox soon, along with the lovely shell shawl pattern. Finally Nona wins a prize too. She and Major Knitter Jen both blogged to help the contest along. Nona will be finding 3 very funky patterns in her mailbox soon. They look a bit tricky, so it will be fun to see if Nona likes them. Again thanks to all who entered. Nona, Dani and Sandy, please send me your addresses to my email and I'll send your prizes out ASAP. Have a wonderful midweek.
June 11th is worldwide knit in public day! Contest info. posted 5/24

Hi Kathy!

It was fun seeing all the pics of the KIP'ers... I especially liked your photo in the hammock on the "grass beach"!

Were those pictured the only participants? I hope it was enough for your cause.

I think KIP Day should become an annual tradition/National Holiday!!! ;)

Well, my brother is a nice brother. Plus he got fries and a shake when we did the photos and I made him a felted pouch for his Magic deck afterwards. Hmm . . maybe he's only nice because I bribe him . . . Nah.

Great contest. And I'm not just saying that cause I won.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
