In the news again!

We're in the paper again. This time the very local paper. With a great article and picture of the kids that would fit as well as the teachers (I'm the one in the back) Here's the link

The concert is done.... I'm so relieved and exhausted. It was SRO and both big parking lots were filled with people that were parked on the grass. It was at the district's high school so the auditorium sits about 800. Of course that's the barometer of a good program to many people in the area... not me, but... and there won't be another one like it. It's crazy, insane amount of headache for one person to deal with. The kids had a great time though and that made it worthwhile.

Well Absorba the great is almost finished. Hopefully by the weekend. Wish I had more time for spinning on my lovely new spindles.... summer is coming though :-)

Happy crafting

It's FINISHED!!!!!!!!!

Hot off the needle. The last stitches are sewn and the ends woven on the blanket for Warm Up America :-D Celebrate with me that this project is complete.


Yarn: Mostly Caron Simply Soft
Pattern: Generally Garter Stitch
Needle: Approximately size 8, generated from chopsticks
Knitters: 46 S. S. Palmer Elementary School students, a 4th grade teacher and myself

I can't wait for them to see it! It will be on display for the building's art show on Thursday late afternoon. The kids are already so excited just from seeing the 'squares' and then the strips that were finished. Wait till they see the whole thing.
