Buy a wallet from my etsy store and get free shipping AND a set of button magnets.

I made a dreadful mistake when leaving a comment on someone elses blog. Most of the times I don’t name my kids, but have in the past, because I didn’t think it could come back to me. Anyway…my son googled his name the other day, first and last, and 4th item down was a comment I had made. It wasn’t a bad comment, but it did upset him. The problem is that I didn’t realize that the combination of his name on his aunts blog would put the two names together.

Can those comments be deleted? or at least have his name be replaced with “my son” or “my kid”?

Thanks.

There were four of us at tea time today. All four of us are knitters. That wasn’t even planned. As far as I could tell none of us had ever met before.

We traded business cards, discussed a symposiums ideas about marketing yourself, checked out a knitting website and ate cookies.

It was crazy to realize we all lived within 15 minutes of each other and shopped at the same crafts and thrift stores. I left with a lift of websites and newsletters to get involved with.

Thanks for a lovely afternoon Bread and Badger. 

Zeldaloo and Copper Moon Art–how did the Saturday Market interview go?

We all need a little control in our lives. For some of us we get that control with our crafts. We can bend, mold and twist our projects into submission in ways we could never control our spouses or children.

Yesterday I started my first pair of hand knit socks. Why? I’m not sure. I think I’m at a point in my knitting that I should try a challenge. And I think I want to make a pair for my father-in-law who has everything else that he needs.

My mom has introduced me to a technique that allows you to make BOTH socks at the same time. You use two circular needles. This way you are assured that the gauge is exactly the same on both socks.

I saw a show the other day where a designer made a mobius scarf. You need a 47″ circular needle. I can’t find one at a price I’m willing to pay, in the size called for ….so I’m making one. Of course by the time I’m done it will probable cost three times as much as just ordering one off the internet. If When it works I can make size 10 needles in any length I want. Handmade needles anyone?
