DONTCHA LUV COMPUTERS?

Hi Everyone, Long time no talk...I have been lost in the computer crash abbis and have taken awhile to get back to cyber space. If I have learned anything from this experience it has been BACK UP, BACK UP BACK UP your information. It's not fun putting 5oo people back into your address book! I didn't realize how much stuff I had saved on my computer. Pictures...GONE. Patterns...GONE. Addresses...GONE. Everything...GONE...UGH! Thanks goodness for my "stupid neighbor". He saved me from having to go out and get another one. Maybe not so stupid after all! (thanks Brian & Becky for putting up with me taking over your evenings) A couple of things to show ya (thanks Athena for the pictures), below are three purses that Athena and Carol knit and felted with Crystal Palace Iceland 100% wool. I love the colors and the flowers came out great...



Below is a "shmonster" before felting...Hopefully we will have a picture of him after felting also.. Cookie made this gorgeous baby set in peach and mint....Love it!



Here is an easy shawl. One of my customers brought it in to show me...I love the colors and she did a great job! It's made with Skacel's Evita cotton...Thanks everyone for "show and tell."


Below is picture of Jackson before he came home from the hospital...He's soooo cute!

Just a class reminder: Saturday, May 17th we will be doing a finishing class with JoAnne. Please call ahead to save your spot and remember, there will be homework! (only the good knitting kind) Wednesday April 30th we will be starting the Cable bag. You will need size 8 needles 24"- 26" or a size 8, 10" straight will work also and 3 hanks of fantasy Naturale. The pattern suggests a 6" circular handle which you can get at Joannes Fabrics. Please call asap to place your color order: the choices are lt. beige, dk beige, blue or a mossy celery green. I have a sewing machine set up here at the shop and will be sewing the linings together for everyone. Linda Miller will be starting a 2 hand 2 color knitting class in the weeks to come.

JoAnne emailed me a picture of this shawl/scarf. Copy and paste this link into your browser and check it out...I love it too! It would be a great summer project and when the cooler weather (lalala...don't think about it yet) gets here it will be ready to wear! http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTclapotis.html
