It's Been Awhile!

Hello Loopies! Long time no see! Hope all has been well with you all! Knitting anything fun?

Thought I would quickly clean up the blog a bit and post to say "hello". Also, there's a yarn crawl coming up this weekend that I heard about that I thought I'd let you know about, if you didn't hear already. It's the first official Cape Cod Yarn Crawl that's taking place September 23, 24 and 25 with 6 local yarn stores participating. For more information, check out this website.

I miss seeing you guys! Maybe one of these days we can all get together. For old times' sake. ;)

Happy Knitting!

Kathleen

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

December 9th....er 16th....yes that's the ticket

The festivities will be here (DK's) on the 16th. Be there or get moths in your wool!!!! :) :) :)



I hope ewe all enjoyed your Thanksgiving with friends and family! I still haven't had my fill of turkey, though I am planning on having some turkey pie this week for dinner.

It looks like December 9th is the next scheduled meeting time. I will host at my house and sure hope you all can come. I'm excited about December and all the festivities this time of year. We put our Christmas tree up today (and Tim put out his Menorah). I'm knitting non-stop getting things made. Why oh why don't I do this in the summer!!

Don't you just love this picture. It's my new desktop wallpaper. I got it here if you'd like to download it.

Helpful!

Hello Loopy Ewes! I just thought I'd drop a line and let you know about two helpful things that I came across this past weekend. After my red couch swallowed up my last available yarn needle, I remembered that I had seen a pattern for a Knitting Doo-dad Holder way back when. I found the pattern and got busy knitting. The holder is straight garter stitch that goes fairly quickly, and putting it together is pretty clever. The result? Little pockets that hold snug any yarn, cable or knitting needle that you need to have on hand. It will even hold your scissors in the center. Now I'm a huge fan of knitting in front of the TV at night, so this turned out to be a huge life saver for me. I thought I'd pass it along in case you have hungry couches as well. I think this would even be a good thing on a plane ride.

The other thing I found while I was knitting the doo-dad holder was an online row counter. I loved this! You hit the space bar after every row and it keeps track of your count. It doesn't get any easier than that, in my opinion.

Well, Loopies, I hope all of your knitting projects are going swimmingly. Don't miss the friendly post by our fellow LE, Judi, below this one.

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Kathleen

Hi there Loopy Ladies! I am so sorry I didn't come last week, I really wanted to be there. I hear that we are going to bi-weekly meetings, which sounds good. I hope to be there in December, for sure.

I have been busy with crafts and sewing projects, but still find time to knit, too. I can't wait to see all the great projects you are all working on. I had my surgery in September, and have lost 43 lbs. so far. I feel good, and I gave away alot of fat clothes.

We are clearing out some stuff because we are remodeling some of our house, and I am wondering if anyone is looking for a piano? We have 2, and one has to go. Let me know if you are interested. It is 40 years old, but in excellent condition. Lynn had it tuned 2 years ago, so it might need tuning. She is asking $1200. for it, which is what an appraiser suggested.

I am going to MN, to see the grandkids on Thanksgiving. Can't wait.

Miss you all, I will be back in Dec., I promise. Love, Judi

Loopy Ewe Blues

On the off chance that anyone is still reading this blog, I thought I might propose some new meeting ideas! For whatever reason, meeting at peoples homes seems to be getting more and more difficult. For that reason, I'd like to propose meeting at a public place (I have a couple of ideas that I am currently researching..Brewster Ladies Library and Harwich Community Center!) I think we can do this for free/very inexpensively, and it could be some place central. I am looking for input and ideas, so please chime in at your earliest convenience!!

New Pet and Other Stuff

Hi Loopies! I noticed on another blog that a sheep is now an available option for a virtual pet, so I traded Loopy the Llama for Loopy the Sheep. I hope you all don't mind. He's quite affectionate! I didn't do the tidiest job installing him on the blog, so if anyone knows how to fix that, it would be great.

In other news, although I wasn't there last time, I heard that we are supposed to meet tomorrow. Unfortunately I cannot make it again, but I thought this post could serve as an RSVP post for tomorrow's meeting. So, Loopies, are you going to knitting tomorrow? Shout it out, baby.

Happy Knitting!

OOOOPPPPSSSSS!!!!!

Sorry for the confusion about knitting tonight. The date was a bit mixed up. We WILL be meeting next Wednesday at Ingrid's house. Bring your knitting and everything you need to catch us up on your summer. :)

See you then!

Knitting is Tomorrow!!!!

Hey Loopy Ewes!

We're finally getting together tomorrow! Yay! Ingrid has graciously offered to host at her house, so hope to see you guys there! Post if you can make it! :)

Happy September!

Hi everyone,

I was just curious if anyone has a plan (or any suggestions) on when we're going to start knitting again?

Puppy Update

Hi from New Hampshire. Hope everyone has been enjoying the last few weeks of summer. I have no phone service, but at least I have limited internet (in otherwords, this may not even post!) I am camping and wanted to share an updated picture of the pupsters. It's quite the adventure camping with 6 dogs!

Scout, Jake, Buttercup, and Summit love camping :)

Looking forward to knitting with the group again soon!

*******Knitting is Cancelled Tonight*******

We'll give this another try at my house tomorrow. I do have central air so you all should be comfortable!!

I hope you can make it.

take care,
Dawn K
