Updates

I have been busy. Last Monday, I taught Beginning Crochet to a group of women at the West Chester Library. On Saturday, I taught Advanced Crochet (reading patterns and making a penguin) to another group of women at the West Chester Library. Monday night, I taught knitting to a group of women and 1 young lady at Resurrection Lutheran Church. I had help with this task from 2 very wonderful women. Melissa Schofield and Martha Savage. Poor Martha had to fly to Pennsylvania and home again and the airline confiscated her bottle of Channel #5. She has to again fly out to visit family members. But on Monday we were talking about Prayer Shawls and what they can look like and the difference in styles. But this kept me from accomplishing much on my own projects. To top all this off, last night I had to stuff eggs for the girls Easter Egg Hunt on Easter. I have to do this when they are away from the house or I will be found out as the Easter Bunny.

Today, I began looking at some magazines that Martha loaned me. I found some fun sites, so Iwill share them here.

http://www.holywoodknit.com/index.html I just love the name of this Holy Wood....they make knitting needles and buttons from olive wood. Check out this site.

http://www.knitpicks.com/Knitting.cfm - I love knitpicks....my cousin Marti, told me about them. I bought a set of dpns from them and I love these needles. I also bought some sock yarn from them for my daughters for socks that I am making them. The yarn is beautiful. The pictures do not do justice to the actual colors of yarn.

http://www.thefibersphere.com/ - they have knitting/crochet bags made from bamboo, they have these specialized spheres to hold the yarn and protect it while you are working with it. They also have a link to Cherry Tree Hill Yarn, they have some gorgeous colors also. I have not ordered from them yet, but it never hurts to look.

http://www.debrasgarden.com/ - She makes and sells stitch markers that are more than the ordinary. They are very pretty and I am sure will liven up anyone's knitting.

http://www.yarnofthemonth.com/ - Yarn of the Month Club, according to the article I read, this is the best gift for a knitter you love.

http://www.planetpurl.com/planetpurl/search.htm - Free patterns....Do I really need to say more.

http://www.lionbrand.com/cgi-bin/patternFinder.fcgi? - Free patterns....Again, need I say more.

http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php - more free patterns. I just love free patterns.

http://www.simplysockyarn.com/servlet/Categories?category=SALE+YARNS! - This site is fun to search for sale yarns and other types of yarns.

So enjoy the search through the websites. Let me know if you have one that you like.
