Vote for WWKIP

I have added a poll! Please give your opinion. I have time to decide but I want the word out by May. We need to get Knitters and Crocheters alike to come together. If you have another suggestion please feel free to comment to this post. Make sure your suggestion is a location where we would have indoor and outdoor access, in case it rains. Also we need to have access to bathrooms! And coffee helps---maybe just caffeine.

Another shipment .....

Of caps leave to Duke University!
I know these are a lot of photos but so many people helped and I wanted to make sure everyone's work is seen. Thanks to everyone!!!

I want to say a special thank you to Mary Jane for a donation toward postage.












Don't forget....
Tonight is knitting at Lowe's YMCA at 6pm. Join us!


I also want to give a special thanks to our models. I know the photo shoot in a difficult location!
















That is a table full of hats?

Taxes

This is the first time all week that my kids are watching television. And I will blame it on the Dept of Revenue. I have been sitting all day sorting receipts. Adding and generally organizing our taxes. While my kids sit in front of the 'boob tube' I am taking a break to write. If I don't take a break, I will break! We have basketball tonight and some errands to run before that so they will not be all consumed.
I hope to complete the body of my sweater and cast on the sleeves. Two at a time ya know.

Megan's bag





I finished it last night! Look at the beads! I am very proud of this piece! The colors pop and the beads add just the right amount of shine. I am hoping to finish my sweater this weekend and Anthony's blanket and then move on to???? Wow, what next? I am also going to make the boys Thing one and Thing two hats for the up coming Dr. Seuss Day. Tess wants a pair of slippers. I can finish those in a week. Maybe a pair of yoga socks? That should only take a day. I think I want to make a rainbow wrap but I don't have the orange I need. I went thru all of my printed patterns today and organized them in binders! It is enough to make your head swim! And it is inspiring me.
Last night I met the crochet group that meets at Three Goats Coffee and Espresso on Tuesday's and I was talking with Kat. An interesting but short discussion of Geocaching and Amigurumi came up. I don't geocache but the prospect of adding Ami to that is appealing Amigeocache? I guess this means I am going to spend the evening researching and not knitting. Whoops. That will never work. Does anyone know if there is a mouse that can be opperated with your foot? Actually I need a pad like the ones on laptops. Move the mouse with my big toe and double touch for a 'click'. More research.
Knit on
