Month: February 2009

I admit it, I like fanny packs. I won’t ever wear one unless it is this cool. Therefore, I will make myself one, or two, at some point.
Anyone want to join in the fun??

Modesto Apartment Fire Blamed On Resident – Sacramento News Story – KCRA Sacramento.
Watch the video link, that’s my little brother up on the roof with the chain saw ;o)
And no, I don’t miss it. And in my firehouse he would owe us all ice cream for being on tv.
Pay up little brother!!

This is a very cool little tool & I will be keeping my eye out for them at Stitches!

Ravelry won’t have a booth this year at Stitches West.
My bad for getting any hopes up in meeting Casey & Jessica.
Casey says next year though, 2010 baby!

Web Site for Knitting Nuts Has New York Needlers in Stitches | The New York Observer.
This was a great, fun article & I wanted to share it with you all since we LOVE ravelry so much.
I especially loved this line, “Anybody who is not on Ravelry,” a friend said recently, pausing to lean in—close—“is stupid.”
Plus, Casey & Jess + their crew could use a little positive love today. It’s been a rough couple of days for them with the running of the site ;o)

In preparation for Stitches this year I wanted to get you all excited about all there is to do & all the peeps/celebs to see.
Tracy & I had so much fun last year at our cute hotel amongst all the yarn that we decided this year we had to bring along friends. Boy are we bringing along friends! 10 of us are going so far with a couple more possible.
Reservations are made, plane tickets purchased (okay, only one person had to buy plane tickets to get here to SB to drive up with us),  I am ready to pack but that might be a tad too early even for me ;o)
You can see my post from last year and Tracy’s post as well to re-read about all the fun we had.

Enjoy!

This was Tracy & I last year at Stitches with Casey (the founder of Ravelry, just in case you live under a rock with no yarn)
I can only imagine how many photos we’ll get this year with all of us going!!! I am so excited!!

My next class at Knit & Pearl.
Julie took a fantastic photo of the scarf~ just beautiful.
Knit and Pearl Boutique: Up coming classes.
The class does include a trip to the Bead show at Earl Warren Showgrounds before starting to class to choose beads to go with your yarn selection. It’s also a learning experience for those that have not knit with beads before.

eBay Store – Tidal Brook Yarns: Sea Silk, Storm Water Shawl Scarf, Sea Wool Bordello socks.
I wanted to pass along this little gem of an Ebay store.
Right now they have FA Nyoni in 250g hanks for under $20. That is over 800 yards!!
Gorgeous colors, fast shipping, cheap shipping & wonderful customer service!
