Hi, I'm new here and just love this shawl! It looks a bit tough for me,
but I can dream and drool . Where did you get your stitch markers -
they're lovely!


Hi Ande, and welcome! Thanks for your nice comments. A friend
from Australia sent the stitch markers to me in a knitting buddy
exchange. I agree with you, they are beautiful.

Aren't they just ? and by coincidence, I happened to be passing the craft
magazine section in a Newsagent ( my feet lead me astray ) and 'Simply
Knitting' had a set of 6 stitch markers as a freebie ))

Funny!
Although knitting bandages isn't really SO far-out!

Hey, I used to do that. A church women's group in Ohio used to knit
bandages for a leper hospital in either India or Africa, I'm not sure
which. Anyhow, it was dead easy, "idiot knitting" some of us called it.
Takre a ball of bedspread cotton and size #1 needles. Cast on 30
stitches. Knit every row until either halfway through the ball or to
the end. Cast off.

Apparently they liked the hand knit ones because they were more
flexible, and being made of bedspread cotton they could be boiled to
sterilise them, and re-used until they literally fell apart.

Some of our older women made themselves do fifteen minutes every morning
on their bandages to keep (or get!) their fingers moving.

Hi Everyone

It seems to be kind of quiet here these days. Maybe a let down from the
Christmas holiday rush?

My friend in Australia and I have finally started our KAL on the Hanami
shawl. AFter a couple of false starts I've finally got two repeats done
(64
rows) of the first chart. Here's a link to have a look if you'd like:

I hope the link works, I'm still getting used to Photobucket. ;)

hilarious.

i used to have a water cat. couldn't run a bath with the door
open or, no matter where he was in the house sleeping, Tiki
would be in the tub.
when my parents moved to a new house with a no-so-little
brook next to the house, Tiki was in heaven! he was in the
brook all the time, swimming. figures he was long haired
too...
lee Tiki also liked rides in my bicycle basket

Shelagh,

Your shawl is beautiful, and so very delicate. It will be gorgeous
when finished.

Question for you: I was in my LYS recently and saw they were holding
a
class for a knit Potato Chip Scarf with a bead knit cast-off. Have
you or
anyone on the group seen a pattern for a scarf done this way?

thanks, Linda D. in B.C., Canada

Tiki is the name of my calico! She isn't of the water-loving mind, though.
Or the nail trimming, or the loving on anyone but me. But WOW does she ever
love all over me!

I wasn't even in the market for a cat when I walked past the window of
adoptees at Petsmart (all are from local animal shelters). She just seemed
to NEED me, and I've loved her ever since. When I adopted her, she was a
year old and had been in the shelter for at least 3 months. Best way to
have a cat find you, IMHO.
