......Knit'n'Purls: August 2011

Monday, August 22, 2011

You know you are too busy when....

.....you haven't picked up knitting needles for seven months. I've been feelin' the pain but today was pure joy....'cause this came in the mail ......

....and I'm going to make these!!!!

Are ya feelin' it? Well, I hope so 'cause my favorite yarn shop closed and it's hurtin'....but I'm almost out of my slump and ready to get clickin' again. Check back later....and see if this is just a dream or if it really will happen. I just "felt" like tryin' somethin' new. Get it...."felt"....it's a knitting joke. You make things with real wool, bigger than usual then wash it and shrink it. Cool, huh. This will be my first. Thanks for stoppin' by.

I never thought it would come to this...

......and I'm so sad that I have to say that I haven't knitted for about 6 months. I'm beside myself but I just got caught up doing "church stuff" and I know I must be nuts. I just had to post so I could confess. Whew, I feel better already. I think I'll have another contest then I'll have to knit again. That's a good idea, Jillyn. Another contest. Another give-away on my birthday. I'll do it.
