I went to the opening of A Tangled Tale Yarn shop yesterday and it was such fun with the new yarn there and just opening. It has good energy. The main room has great windows all around so it gives out such good light to see everything besides what you are knitting on..with good spaces set aside to sit and knit. . It will be growing as the days go on. Take a moment, go up to Powell and / or visit their web site (www.atangledtale.com).
we all have started our first project garment . we are knitting vests with an over lap side front and a twist stitch pattern for the body of the vest.. everyone got a great start..gauges came up on the mark and we all started right in. More to follow.
We have had such a beautiful snow fall starting last Friday ( 20 inches) and today it is almost gone except what is in some shaded areas. We all stayed pretty close to home and cooked and knit and played with the animals. I just love to watch Kodey and Keagan run and plan… always brings a smile…Arthur and Miss Devine would have nothing to do with the snow…you know how cats can be…they were happy sitting on my knitting… take a look

The Computer seems to have been down for ever. Hard drive on the laptop DIED dead….I never thought it would have been such loss, I could not get on Betweenstitches to edit or write. oh how one gets use to doing things a certain way…then gone… and I was just getting better at loading pictures … now to learn that all over again…My son came over today and got most of everything back on track plus more. I learned I had 3805 comments -guess what I learned to do today? right! how to manage the comments (with his help of course)and after all that he learned to knit. Men learn the mechanics of knitting so fast… we covered almost 3 lessons in one today… longtail cast on,knit cast on, knit, purl, stitch position,tear back, pick up, tension, garter stitch, stockinette stitch.circular needles.It was great. I think men focus and “one track” ideas and procedures easily..
what a great day!!!!
Hopefully I’ll be up and back to this site on a regular basis…

Saturday was a great,fun day.we all need a day like that. Several of us went to Kenton Ohio’s Jitters Coffee Company. Sara, the owner of Jitters, has provided a wonderful place to meet and enjoy each others company…(we go the last Sat of the month)
A greatest place to meet and knit,read,hold meetings and of course eat and drink the best coffee! take a look at their site www.thsjitterzcoffee.com… we all talked and knit, well I mostly talked and had to see what everyone was working on. Jane was working on the silk yarn from Betweenstitches Sock Club..Bea is working on a beautiful (as she puts it) “Plain” gray sweater for her grandson.. Peg is learning to knit on a wash cloth and doing a great job. Diane is knitting a present for a friend. Max brought in the most beautiful lace scarf for his mom and the start of a striped cuf to cuf sweater for himself—what an inspiration he is.Sue is making a lovely lace vest out of to-die-for-alpaca (one of my favorite yarns) Amanda brought the cutes crocheted rooster pot holder –it just makes you smile. We all enjoyed our selves knitting away
