Meet Me In St. Louis.....

My bags are packed and I am impatiently awaiting Steve to come home from work so we can head to St. Louis for a fun-filled weekend with dear friends. In fact, we will be visiting the friend who taught me how to knit :-) All us girls plan on doing is knitting. Lots and lots of knitting. So the dilemna today has been what yarn; needles; patterns etc.. to take. It's a fine art: packing knitting supplies for a knitting get-away. You want to pack enough... but not so much that you have no 'need' to visit every LYS that you can find!! I think I finally have the knitting stuff ready

Oh, maybe I should bring some clean clothes as well.......

A SURPRISE package arrived in the mail today. I love surprises and this one was completely unexpected!! Bonnie sent me some of her homemade granola! I LOVE granola! Especially mixed in with some yogurt and fresh fruit. It's a staple around here. I am taking it with us to snack on for the car ride (and because I'm afraid if I leave it here it will get eaten!) Thank you, Bonnie, for this special treat. I am so thankful for the wonderful group of online friends that I have made since I started knitting and blogging last summer!!


Another bowl to show you. I love these quick projects. I have been having a hard time deciding what bag to cast on next, so I just keep making more bowls.....

I've decided to cast on a large ballband bag (like the one I made Mallory) for Kirstin in brown and blue. Will start it this weekend.





And now for a little craziness. Ryan and Mallory decided to have a little photo shoot this past weekend "American Gothic" style. They took this lovely picture and made matching t-shirts which they proudly wore this past weekend in Galena. It was very fun :-) They both have a tremendous sense of humor and love to laugh.

And now they each have another point. Don't say I never did anything for you guys!!!!


Well, Steve should be home soon.


Until next time.....
