Happenings


I've been working for America's Knitting for almost two years now, running their Ravelry Group but branching out a bit and posting on their Facebook page as well... 

If you haven't checked out the Ravelry group you should definitely hop over there and join us... 

We are a pretty active group chit chatting amongst all the different posts. 
Sharing updates on projects 
Sharing ideas for new projects 
Sharing new pattern releases. 
There is a group board for completely random topics that have more to do with our lives than to do with knitting. 
I know a few of our group have had meet ups. 

One of our group from Californian and I were in Maui at the same time last year and met for coffee!

Our current Knit-A-Long is the Shaken or Stirred Cardigan by Thea Coleman! 
It started April 1st and goes to June 30th! 

Mary, the own of AK, and I met up last Saturday for the Pacific Northwest Yarn Crawl and are planning our own personal yarn shop crawl sometime this summer... 

We are also in the talking stages of planning an America's Knitting Retreat! 

Stay tuned here, on our Ravelry group or on Facebook Group or the America's Knitting website for updates on everything! 

Plus when you travel we have a very hand map of knit shops across America so you'll never be lost!

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

America's knitting also has a Facebook page, so if you aren't a Raveler but are a Facebooker, pop on over and check us out. America's knitting is a website designed to give spotlights to yarn shops as well as a way for knitters every where to find a yarn shop whether it be in their area or when they travel. It's wonderful sight and I'm thrilled to be part of the America's Knitting team.

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
