Pursonalities book

I must have let someone borrow my Pursonalities Book. If you have it please give me a call or email me! I need a pattern from it and I don't want to go buy another copy. I have an idea for a bag and I need to reference a pattern and check the authors notes.
I did felt a bag I made from Creative Knitting magazine and low and behold a problem. I think I can fix it on the next go around. I am considering contacting the designer and see if she came up with the same problem and they just covered it up in photography. Has anyone had a felt bag twist? It looks like it is knit on the bias. This problem is very frustrating----I can't even shape it out!.
I am considering a retail location for Cables and this is a big step if providing Mooresville with a yarn boutique. It is looking like the rezoning may cost some major cash. Why must they make this difficult. Let me know your thoughts.
Knit on.

Swatch

I am trying a new swatch technique that I learned at Stitches East. Don't just swatch in St st or pattern; border the entire swatch in garter st, the zap your piece in the microwave. Yes nuke-it. First you must dampen it but then nuke it. It is just like laundering it, or so Judy Paschal says. I think that with Tony's sweater I will try short row shaping for the neck just like Judy taught me in the 'necklines unbound' class. I might have to revert to the old fashioned bind off if it does not shape out right. I will keep you informed as to my sweater progress.
I am also working on a Pink Ribbon Fulled Tote. I am thinking that the tote size is too big, of course you will never know until it is washed. I think that a smaller size will make more sense if I kit it. I would also like to add a purse scarf to the kit.
Knit-on.

Stitches East

I have returned from Stitches East excited about the 2008 fall season. I can't seem to get my hands moving fast enought to finish some projects so that I may begin my next. A renewed since of urgency has hit again. I know this will dwindle as December arrives. I think that I will investigate leasing property for the store. Tony and I are in constant talks about the pros and cons of leasing. If you can join me for an inpromptu knit morning I will be at the store from 9:15 until 2:00. Let's sit and knit.
