Seminarwhal



Yesterday we were all so tired that we skipped bowling and went to check out the Spark Craft Studio. We sat around in their lounge area eating cookies and drinking tea and talking. Most of us helped support the local yarn trade.

We talked about the beautiful narwhale and it's unicorn tusk, and how much such a treasure sells for on the internet. (Generally not available in the USA.)

We agreed that the so-called craft of rubber stamping, as it is currently practiced, is really pathetic. (These look kind of cool, though.)

We discussed the meanings and pronounciations of the words "solipsistic" and "palimpsest."

There were a lot of other very interesting topics of conversation, but I don't have any more time to hunt for links. Anyone remember anything else? I know I had said I would look for something I had posted on my other weblog a long time ago, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was now.

Knitting Xtras

So for those of us who sometimes need a little extra help during the week, or just want to learn some new things I present to you Knittinghelp.com. It is a really cool site because it actually has videos! Plus I love because it shows all of the stitches Continetal style(the flipped around way I learned to knit) as well as English style (the way most people knit). Enjoy.

yarn grab bag...

anyone want to have a yarn scraps exchange? like an old lady hoarding her tea cups, I have lots of leftover yarn from over the years -- most of which, I am not sure what I will do with! So I will bring along my leftovers crate next week, just in case anyone is interested in using a new color for a cuff or stripe... Please be kind and adopt these lonely scraps! no trade necessary!

tonight? 05.02.02

is it a knitting/bowling night tonight?

I am out of the loop, the loose stitch, slipped of the needle, so to say... so I feel a little lost with our weekly gathering... are people planning on tonight? should I bring snacks?

see you soon!
