Ohh my beautiful…

Busy busy busy!!!

 

Ok so! Last Tuesday my oh so fabulous knit group threw me a little welcome back party!! They were prepared with giant cupcakes, soda, wine, and gifts!!

 

And Elsa got me the most amazing book ever written!!!

I cannot wait to start cookin out of this thing!! I was reading thru some of the recipes and drooling.  It will be magnificent!!

  

 

Over the weekend I started work, which was aweeeesome btw.  And starting a new job during a reaaaaaaaally busy weekend is quite the feat.  The Portland Yarn Crawl was this weekend and since my favorite knitters and I had Friday open, we hit up the LYS’s before the masses did over the weekend.  We made it to Close Knit, Gossamer, Knit/Purl, Dublin Bay, Twisted, and of course back to Happy Knits.

The day was fun! Evan got some undyed yarn from Gossamer so he could dye it himself (which turned out pretty damn awesome), Anne got some gifts for a friend and something for herself, and we all got some free patterns from Twisted since we were a few of the first in the shop!

 

On Saturday, Anne and I had a podcast interview with Knithappensshow.com.  It was super fun and we got to talk about our yarn bombing, and hopefully got some people in the Portland area who listen to the show to come join us!  You can listen to it here.

 

Annnd then I think it was Monday, Anne and I decided to go to the Portland Building to add some crochet chains to an art exhibit.  Its called the Mother Tree Project and you can get more info here.  Anne brought her friend Annie, who learned to crochet on the spot for the project!  We used nettles as one fiber, and that was an experience lemme tell you. 

Here’s a couple pics:

 

 

Ok now that you’re all up to date, its time for more packing then bed!
