I really had fun last night with my knitting peeps. What a crew! We laughed so hard we had tears running down our cheeks. I would describe the conversation but, believe me, you had to be there. Even a few moments later we could not figure out what was so darn funny. But I truly enjoyed myself.
Linda was working on a very cute “ponchette” designed by Hemp for Knitting. BTW, this is NOT a picture of Linda.
Linda is not using their yarn, but rather a linen-polyester mix which is absolutely beautiful and in keeping with the natural look of the hemp design. I am highly tempted to make this because it is not totally like a poncho — it’s a little bit more stylish.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow and the WWKIP event in Blaine. I would love to see others of you there, though it will be tough to coordinate everyone’s busy schedules. I will most likely arrive somewhere between 1 and 2 pm. And stay until my daughter makes me leave! Til then, happy knitting.
PS — Julie mentioned Stormcloud Trading in St. Paul (on Minnehaha and Snelling) for beads and purse frames.  I did in fact buy the frames for both the black beaded purse and the brown/copper version at Stormcloud. They have a huge selection of beads and very good prices. They have a few purse frames behind the counter. If you want a wide assortment you can look online and find quite a few. Â
It may not be a picture of Linda, but she does hate it when someone else’s head is pasted on her body like this… 🙂
