Stitches finds!

By -
This adorable project bag with polka dots has a beanie bottom for stability. I had to have one.
Janie is the Mind behind MindYourKnitting.com and llc. When I told Janie I was going to blog about the bag she insisted I take it, no charge! What a smart business lady eh?

This will be one of the postcard prizes for certain. Let's go overwhelm Janie with more orders. She has other colors with polka dots. The unique and cheery bag is only 20.00. Great gift for any knitter or crocheter. It just smiles at you!

Then she asked that I take her MindYourKnitting organzier book. I'll show it to you soon. It is another postcard contest prize. It is a great little black with pink polka dot organizer. Janie thank you! If you are at Stitches Midwest look for her darling booth. It is all polkadots.

Another great thing happened at Stitches. Toni from The FOLD in Marengo has a booth . She actually remembered me and AL. She remembered how I could not pick a STR yarn. I picked pink mohair from Blue Moon. I will never use this. She immediately said, "bring it back!" as if it was crazy not to.

Now I bought this yarn several months ago. I think this was a wonderful gesture. Thanks Toni.
We bought the Blue Moon book with the cute fairisle mitten pattern. So cute.

Another great thing happened. Al and I ran into Jan. Jan taught Al to knit. She taught me socks. Jan moved from our area to California a few years ago. It was soooo good to hug her.
We just love her.

Tomorrow, then. The list of postcard senders so far!

I went to to Stitches and now my stash has grown to such amounts. Hubby asked how I did and I said I was getting a workout from carrying the purchases.
Jan looks happy. got some great purchases from Yarn Lady.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Those are some great prizes too. Good thing I finally found my postcard last week. Now I just have to get a stamp on it and put it in the mail box. I'd better get to it - Labor Day will be here in no time.

 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...
