Mailcall, then off to a Beach Weekend
FIRST...
My family's thoughts and prayers are with the Londoners affected by this horrific senseless act. I hope that all our London knitbloggers and their families and friends are safe.
---
I've gotten a couple terrific things in the mail this week...and thought I'd share...
I've just SIMPLY gone GaGa over this mag. I even have the UK ebay seller email me when she gets the new one...JOY!
July's Free Gift: Crochet hook and instructions
H's Pattern peek...
Look what they include for every project that requires blocking...
Isn't that just what every pattern book needs?
Plus, they tell you everything you ever wanted to know about all the yarns used in the issue...
Are you listening ROWAN? Debbie Bliss? Hello?!!
Then I helped a fellow knitblogger de-stash
For this pattern...
I'm planning on making the strap shorter...because I am one ball short of a full length strap.
Rowan Handknit DK Cotton - Navy Blue
I would be willing to trade/buy/wheedle for a ball of this yarn. The dyelot shouldn't matter all that much for a strap. :) Anyone?
This weekend marks my 3rd anniversary...
Three years ago my Boyo and I decided to make a go of it...
Ocean City bound...The Dunes Manor...Best part is Victorian Tea at 3 on the Veranda...
Weekend Knitting Agenda...
--------------------------------
Mean Green will be left at home. So far, I've got a unblocked left front, a blocked right front, a blocked back and a partial right sleeve...Not too bad for a weeks worth of work.
This poor neglected soul will be joining me on the beach...
Retro Rib Sock Two...
An amusing sign when working in our Mission Operations Area...
Let me tell you...this sign tells an untruth.
heh.
See you next week...enjoy your weekend!
FUN FUN FUN in the OC! You should definitely check out that yarn shop in Bethany that I liked so much. Have a good time and wear sunscreen this time!!!
Love the sockies! Let's get together and work on our socks when you get back, k? :)
Hey--if you want another package from Chicago I can get you one more ball of that yarn from my LYS. Let me know!
Posted by: monica at July 7, 2005 11:26 AMLooks like you got some great little goodies this week! I love the color on those socks, and that's a really cute purse! I think it'll look very elegant in the navy blue.
Have a great weekend on the beach... think of me when you feel the sand between your toes. [sigh]
love you!
Posted by: Keowdie at July 7, 2005 12:37 PMLook at all your fun stuff! Have fun at the beach!
Posted by: Purly Whites at July 7, 2005 01:12 PMHappy anniversary! have a great time, it sounds amazing :)
Posted by: Vicki at July 7, 2005 01:19 PMWoohoo! Have a great time in Ocean City. I'm not doubting you will!
Posted by: Erin at July 7, 2005 01:35 PMHave a wonderful time at the beach, H! congrats to you and your boyo! (I'll have to check out that knitting mag...)
Posted by: Moni at July 7, 2005 02:08 PMI've never stayed at the Dunes Manor (I have always thought it resembled a penitentiary).
Have fun and stay cool!
Posted by: Kathy at July 7, 2005 02:11 PMThat magazine looks awesome!! How the heck did you find it? Can you only get it on ebay?
Have yourself a GREAT beach weekend! I'm off to the beach myself for a 5 glorious days... can't hardly wait!
Posted by: Kathy at July 7, 2005 09:35 PMThat blocking diagram is so unreal!! I bought Pursa-nalities a while ago. Great felted bags but NO BEFORE AND AFTER SHOTS!! Even with blocking, any help is a blessing!!
I also love the sign XD
Posted by: Kath at July 8, 2005 09:47 AMHave a great weekend, and congrats on your anniversery!!!!
I have a ball of the Handknit DK in navy blue that I'd be happy to swap you for... just let me know if you are still interested!
Posted by: Danielle at July 8, 2005 10:45 AMLove your haul. And I love that new mag. I'm going to have to bug B&N to carry it around here. Have a great time at the beach. Three years is certainly a lot to celebrate.

Posted by: Tanya at July 8, 2005 12:19 PMI hope you're having a great time as I type this.
I like the bag.
I still need to get my hands on that magazine, I'm just to ebay-lazy.
Hope you had a fabulous time at the beach! I was thinking about you over the weekend. I hope you can make it tonight for knit night. :-)
I had the best time last Thursday night. What a blast that was!
