Good luck with the felted bowls. I just ordered a bunch of Cascade 220 for that very purpose. I can’t wait to get started on them.

Well, I am back in Iowa, but in my mind I am back in St. Louis helping you pack Loopy orders; knitting with Zoe on my lap and convincing myself that I will someday be a proficient sock knitter instead of just a felted bag knitter !!! (Oh, I did forget to mention that your knitting daughter confessed to ME her desire to knit a felted bag…. sounds like a trip to Iowa in the near future???)

I am blessed to call you my good friend!!

One Martha well underway. Well, Martha-ish for me, anyway. This is a traveling sock, so it will be slow going, but that’s okay. More time for me to learn to appreciate the Martha side of things.

Zinc. Take some zinc now. Because you’re absolutely right: nobodyhastimeforacoldrightnowforpete’ssake.

I have begun my Martha Q1 challenge socks in Intelacements Tiny Toes ‘Woodland’. It is really nice but I Just got some pretty, pretty pinky things in the mail from Sheri and so I may have to do a Frank too. True to my split personality form. Anyway one Martha foot done … cuff tonight. Go team go!

Oooohhh – I LOVE that bag that Janice made you! Hopefully some day I’ll be brave enough to try to make one – although felting scares me!

Tell Zoe I think her twin brother is living with my parents – they look SO much alike! I’ll have to send you a picture – it’s uncanny!

Hope you feel better soon!

Sheri,

Hope you feel better…..nice that you have such a long time, long-term friendship with Janice…..and she knits!

Can’t wait to see the new yarns etc on the website….I also love socks, but did make a felted purse last year, and I LOVE IT! Sweaters are time consuming, but I made my 1st one in 20 yrs for College Grad Sons GF for Xmas and it came out great – inspiration to do another one for myself soon…….

Unfortunately…Peppermint Mocha Lattes are not approved by my diet for the new year…..LOL

Ohh, hope you feel better! It can’t possibly help that it’s currently 20 degrees outside…

You have some talented knitting friends! Which shops did you go to? The one where the owners know me has been closed since the storm hit because the power’s been out. My power just came back on this afternoon. How did you fare?

Oh yes, I forgot to say that I’m a Martha. However, the last two pairs of socks have been very Frank-like. You might’ve seen them on my blog–first HOT pink Lorna’s Laces and now flourescent green Yarntini. Next, it’ll be back to Marthas, though. I’ve had my eye on the Concertina Lace socks for a while. I think they’d be wonderful in the blue Regia Silk that I bought from you a while ago. Will you save a copy of the pattern for me? I think I’ll come by next Tuesday (not tomorrow, since you ought to get rest while you’re sick).

I have started my socks. Actually, I frogged the socks and restarted them. I decided that I had better do these as a toe up instead of a top down. And you are definitely a true enabler. I need to knit up some of my sock yarns first.

And are you sure that WH and Steve have grown up? Men just seem to grow up slower than females.

I started my Martha socks last week–a cable pattern from Simply Sensational Socks in gray. I have finished the ribbing and two pattern repeats on the first sock. Also finishing up the second sock from Fiber Trends’ Leaf Lace pattern in FA Bronze. I spent the morning at the salon getting my hair highlighted, so most of my knitting time for today is used up. Here in Houston, we’re waiting for what is predicted to be the first ice storm in 10 years. We’ll see what happens. Now I have to go to the grocery store just in case they get the forecast right for once. Ha! I’m excited to see the new yarns.
