I've decided to sell off the majority of my "herd". They've been boxed up for years. They are of various qualities, from like new to "body only". I'll post more pictures as I get them taken and uploaded. Please email for prices.

Christmas Commercials already?
Given, it's a commercial that I actually kind of like since it uses "Carol of the Bells", but Walmart is already airing holiday ads. And it's only days after Halloween!
On a more serious subject, I expect that many are like me and glad that the current election cycle is basically over. I'm a bit disappointed but I'm not entirely surprised at the outcome.
More meandering... I was looking through some old photos backed up on cds from old computers and came across one of the first pieces I ever knit. I'd taken a 2-hour "learn to knit" class at a used bookstore. We knit a scarf in Fun Fur (yikes!). What did I jump into next? Another scarf? Hats? No. I decided to knit a baby blanket. A big one. We'd only learned to cast on and knit in the class. No purling, no casting off. Thankfully, I had an old needlearts book from the 1950s and my mom to help me work through it. Anyway, the baby blanket. No pattern, just a whole lot of yarn and some size 9 circular needles. I'm happy to say though, several years later the "baby" is still using the blanket.
I also found a picture of the first piece that I knitted and felted. It fit better before it was felted ;-)
