KAL ~ Knit for the love of it! Sept 30 - Oct 6

[knibert]

Sonya...if Erica is too busy, I know Kaysie was making them for a while. She hasn't been on much anymore though. I see she just dyed some yarn on FB, so she may be an option?


Think I have everything ready so we can get out quickly in the am. My appt is 15 min after the kids have to be at school. I can't find DS's backpack. I hope he knows where it is in the am!

Dani please send me a text if you get a Fi update.

Katie where are the stats on your new wheel? I would love something positive to think about for a while

ok, I'll mention it again when she's back on and feeling better. I used a book light tonight. It kept falling down though. I will be posting a wip in the morning. I need some opinions.

i missed this. yes VERY counterintutitive for me as well. I'm a drag and drop kinda gal. I'm sure the apple speak is great and you can do all kinds of things w/it. I just don't know how and and it takes too much time to learn. I just do the basics and hardly get by that way. I am sure I will love the kindle when it comes. 22 more days

she linked it one time. I think it is an army one or something. maybe it was on amazon. She'll fill you in soon. Fi is Fi, she'll be back soon.

ok...time to get ready for bed. We have to be on time in the am. I hope I can sleep.

I know Fi has better suggestions, but here's a reasonably priced one that has two different settings it looks like.http://www.rei.com/product/825732/bl...gizmo-headlamp
Or this one for fun http://www.rei.com/product/796685/le...e-led-headlamp
I know the one's Fi talks about have different settings and you can flip red on them to dim them etc., but the best price I can find on those is $50.

I haven't preordered mine yet. Hubby was talking about a possible Yule present, and he gets mad when I buy myself things near birthday/anniversary/holidays so we will see. I'd hate to see them sell out.

Its the Ashford traditional - I'll get you specs in the am . It spins soooo smooth and quiet comparatively, I it! Can't wait to get some fiber going. What is the difference btwn a roving and a batting?

back from church

Sonya...I can probably make some...maybe see if you can find samples and I can go from there...don't know if I'll be able to put all the guys on a shirt. Maybe one or two characters.
