It’s blocking…

The Shoalwater looks to be stretching out nicely. It should be dry soon.

I’m still knitting the 7 inches of Kimono before the neckline decreases. Still. Knitting. Garter Stitch. Save Me.

Any Cable-Eights? Hillary has joined our group. Welcome Hillary!

As promised, the stitch markers went out yesterday. Mailing internationally was cheaper than I expected. Because each package weighed less than an ounce, they were under $1 to ship. Cool. So, know that except for those mentioned specifically yesterday, your markers are on their way.

Tonight is my last night of Finchy Fridays. For those of you who are new, I have been working at the LYS every Friday night from 4-9 in exchange for yarn, hosting a free knitting group. That is where I met Katie, and Heidi. Two fabulous ladies I am very excited to now be friends with.

My question is this…. Now that my convenient little arrangement with a yarn store is ending, how am I going to get yarn?

    I can’t wait to see the kimono sweater – I’m thinking about knitting this for a friend’s baby.

    Can’t wait to see the shawl and Kimono!
    By the way, I have been making stitch markers, they aren’t as good yours though. I’m still perfecting it. What gauge wire did you use. For some I’ve used 18, but I can’t see to find much 18 gauge at the places I go. I got 20 gauge today, I don’t know if this will be too “bendable” or not. What do you think??

    Even though I couldn’t go all the time, I will greatly miss Miss Finchy Fridays. I am very glad I have you so close. We will have to see about making other community knitting arrangements. As for yarn, I’m sure you’ll do OK!

    How sad! Why is your exchange ending?

    Sell every non-yarn object in the house which is not nailed down on ebay!
