Guest Blogger is Back!

By -

Fireman commented that I hadn't had a guest blogger in a long while. So, without further ado:
Here is the clerk at Fit and Frisky Pet supply in Evanston, Illinois. He didn't mind a bit.
If you can make out the knit up, it is my sister's new blanket.

I am knitting this behemoth on the needles that one of you so generously sent me from your
Stitch N Pitch giveaway. These needles make BIG stitches. I guess the supposed Rapture made me think I had to knit this fast for my sister.

I am sorry to join the Rapture for blog fodder, but it is just too irresistible.
Just in case the world was ending, I had my favorite dinner: Homemade bread and
sweet unsalted butter. Accompanied by a glass of chardonnay.

The thought occurred to me that if indeed, we were all going, I'd get to see my Huck again
and
there was comfort in that. I fully expect us to reunite someday in a joyous round of tail wagging and hugging.

Anyone who says there are no dogs in heaven is just crazy!! God wants us to be happy! I'm afraid I didn't give the rapture stuff enough thought. I didn't remember it until I was in bed and as I was going to sleep I thought, "I guess we'll either sleep and then rise or we will rise and never have to sleep again."

I hadn't heard about the Rapture stuff until Thursday night.

And you know I can't imagine a Heaven without my darling dogs.

Great idea to use big needles on a blanket! Wish you'd have posted this sooner, before I starte mine. Have you read Cat Heaven or Dog Heaven, both by Cynthis Rylant? Great children's books that adults like too.

I figure I'm probably not going. I'll be sitting here with my stash and trying to figure out what to knit next.

The nearly Thousandth post Contest

(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest. So to take the pressure off, we are just going to do this now. :) I get crazy with pressure around events of all kinds. I just do. To enter: Please please please only leave a comment about this post on this post. Im much too flakey to search around differnt posts, afterall there are nearly a thousand (did I mention that number already? sorry....) Leave a comment telling me anything about Lace. If you dn't know anything about Lace, ask someone and share their knowledge. Do tell us who gave you this lace advice, to make it f...

This is a call for knitters to knit a baby blanket no bigger than a cookie sheet. Blankets will be distributed in the NICU where I work. We just don't get many blankets. We need them. Traditional baby colors will do, but we'd love you to branch out a bit. Use up those leftovers if you wish. You could win a lovely prize. All who send a blanket by November 1st, ALL SAINTS DAY, you angels you, will be entered in the drawing. Here are the rules: Blanket must be made of yarn which is washable. Sorry, Hospital rules. It cannot be bigger than a cookie sheet. Smaller is welcome also. That's it. Those are the rules. I'll post the prize by next week. Mail a blanket to me Kathy B if you need my snail mail address,email me at Harpnut@gmail.com
