Finally!!!~What Knitters Will do For Each Other~

Thank you Bev! Finally got the beautiful Fyberspates Nef lace yarn. It's part baby alpaca,silk and cashmere. It's been on quite the journey. We still have hope the other half will been found, somewhere in Atlanta, in the US postal~lost items department. Warm hugs to my friend Bev, who lives in Stafford,England. What lengths she'll go to enable a yarn addict. I can't thank you enough. Now I'll have to find the pefect pattern.~Kelli

The Secret's Out!

So it's time to share our exciting news ~ we've been asked to speak at the Snohomish Knitters Guild in November ~ Kelli, Trudy, Carrie and I will do a 1 hour presentation to talk about how our relationships with each other have grown since we began knitting together. We also get to have a trunk show and we're planning a few little surprises to liven up the evening, also. We're still floored and honored that we were contacted by the guild's president, Charisa, about doing this. It was completely out of the blue and I think we're still a little shocked that they'd like to meet us all. Their October newsletter just came out and here's the blurb about us, hot off the presses!

'November 9, 2010: The KnitWits!
Our focus this year is building our knitting community. The KnitWits are regular posters of projects in the SKG projects forum as Oneknitwit, Twoknitwit, Fourknitwit. We thought it would be great to hear how they met, spur each other on in their knitting knowledge, and how knitting has “knit” them together.
The knitwits will be sharing about themselves and offer a trunk show of their collective work.'

here's the link to their webpage, too, where we're also mentioned (with a photo!)
http://www.snohomishknittersguild.org/events ~ scroll down a bit and voila, there we are having a blast at Stitch and Pitch this year!

It will actually be oneknitwit, twoknitwit, thirdknitwit and knitwittiest who will be there, but fourknitwit was mentioned in the newsletter since she also shares her projects with their group on Ravelry.

WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!! We hope to have some fun things to share, including photos, and maybe a whole new bunch of knitting friends when it's all over!

~Happy Autumn~

This is Autumn. I created her last night, while listening to Sunday Night Football. I scoped out the latest yarn related magazines and found this needle felting project to create. This was made from roving. The yarn shop where I work has many colors. I brought some home wondering if I could create something. 3 broken needles later... Here she is , a 6 inch tall, falltime knitting girl and her pumpkin. Can you see her wosted weight, red, Rowan yarn with her size 13, single point needles? I made another right after, Amber. My camera battery is charging or I'd have posted her too. She's a yarn dyer.

Happy Autumn!!! Fun project, great Christmas present idea.

Cold Mountain & a little light headed

I donated my out of control mane to Locks of Love a few days ago ~ a 13" ponytail that I was told will make a beautiful wig ~ it was a good tribute to my dad and everyone that struggles with a cancer diagnosis.

So here's the new 'do and my lovely Cold Mountain that looks surprisingly cute with my old t-shirt ;) ~ Kelli, you always ask me 'how would you wear that?' when I finish something.....what do you think!?

Coming soon....

...hopefully in 2011 ~ here's a teaser of our test knits for Coralie Meslin ~ can't wait to see what becomes of them!

Another Knitting Designer

Here we are with Coralie Meslin.

This picture looks like we're in high school working on a yearbook or something. We're all 30+.

We're actually knitting away, getting to know our new 'designer friend' Coralie.

Check her patterns out on Ravelry~ How fortunate are we to sit and visit while Coralie sits and creates new summer time sweaters.

She even brought us prize winning chocolate chip cookies. Does it get better then that?

Here We Are...Melissa, Sivia and I

Learning new skills and tips from a wonderful teacher.

Sivia Harding kept my full attention from 10:00 till 5:00!

Thanks to Sarah Parker owner of Wild Fibers for bringing her to this area.

Can't wait to finish the Ophidian shawl.
