  • long awaited..

    eta: Someone sent me a message, lost it upon loggin in here. Anywho, Sockapalooza 5 will happen at some point in '08. Unsure when, keep checkin the blog. http://alison.knitsmiths.us/

     

     

    ummmm, yeah.

     

    Where do I start?  I must confess, I rather  hate being a blogger.

    Between Ravelry and knitting, I cannot see much else to do?

     

    Well, since last posting, we had a wonderful, blessed Christmas, spent with our family, a nice New Years, and hoping for a TOTALLY blessed year!

    some fun events...

    I was able to join Socks that Rock club! I am eager awaiting my first shipment with that. Also know, there's some Wollmeise headed my way as well.

    I think for this year, I'm only (if that), going to participate in the Sockapaloooza V. I joined the Loopy Ewe blog late summer and that will be over in Feburary.

    Most swaps I did participate in last year, meant some extra work that I was proud and honored to do. Meaning, I did'nt have a problem knitting for people whom didn't receive their socks.  I just don't feel much energy reciprocated back to me, hence, I'm not going to bother to get myself in a swap, period. Always giving and giving seems to sap me out, as I tend to go in full force with it, lol.

    That said, yup, I will occasionally post something here. You will mostly find me over on Rav. and can see my projects, the whole nine there as well. My name there is knitsandwhey.

  • Pay it forward...

    I'm sure you heard of "paying it forward"? You know, you do something nice for someone without query, just out of the blue?

    I just signed up for this pay it forward swap and I hope I was able to get in.

    You knit 3 items, pass it along, keep one of the items, like so.

    Here's Dawn's blog to see how her idea came to play;

     So, if your a knitter and might have some time in between things, sign up here! We need three people that have a blog.
