Invites and updates

I have received quite a few requests from ladies wanting to post some sales and trades on our blog Never Enough Stash.  I also want to point out that I've sent out quite a few invites to people who desired one and I still have 7 open ones.  Check your email to see if I sent you one and if you are interested, please accept the invite.  Thanks!  I want to point out that there are quite a few patterns over there for sale so you might want to check it out and see if there's something you can't live without.
I'm slowly but surely working on Better Not Pout and it's slow going.  I've caught the knitting bug lately and all I want to do is work with yarn.  Am I the only one that has this affliction?  I've finished my shawl I was knitting out of Noro and will post a picture soon.  I've started a sweater for myself and it's in a fantastic shade of teal.....yummy!!!  A funny thing happened to me today at Michael's.  I was there purchasing some yarn and the cashier was a young lady in her late teens...early 20's.  She asked me what I was going to make and I told her of which she replied "I wish I could do that".  I told her I'd be more than happy to teach her.  She was so excited that I'd be willing to teach her knitting and crocheting and not charge her anything for passing on this knowledge.  I'm truly under the belief that alot of our needlework is becoming a lost art and we should do everything possible to make sure it doesn't.  She has decided to learn crochet first which I think is good.  I made mention that with all the great looking yarns out there, she'll have a brand new crocheted scarf for fall.  I gave her my phone number so now we'll see if she's really serious about it.  
Well that's all that's going on in my little world.  I hope all of you are having a fantastic week and that you'll getting alot of stitchie time in.  It's like therapy and I think we can all use that....I know I can.
Blessings as always,
Barbara

Oh I really hope she makes use of your kindness Barbara. If I had someone nearby who would be willing to teach me how to knit, I would be so grateful.
Looking forward to seeing Better Not Pout.
Best wishes.

I've found the same thing with cross stitch- these young girls want to learn, but no one wants to teach them! I've taught several teens/young adults, with the stipulation that if they run across someone who wants to learn, they have to teach at least 1 other person. And I have to say that the hardest person to teach was my very own daughter, who's a lefty...

If you still need more participants, let me know, as I had a shop and have collectible charts & tons of linen.
