Never Enough Stash Postings

Miss Vallie is here to let you know that Lynn and Rebecca have posted some wonderful charts on our Never Enough Stash blog that you really should take a look at.

Caroline listed quite a few charts the other day ...... I'm wondering if she has any left because she listed alot.

I listed my high count linen that I have for sale.  It's mostly 35 and 36 count from various manufacturers.

So if you haven't checked out the blog for sales, now's a good time to do it.....there's alot over there.

Blessings as always,

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

A thank you and a start

I want to thank everyone who gave such a positive response to my suggestion of having a blog for stash.  I have started it and there's already two postings so you really should check it out.  The name is Never Enough Stash (appropriate right?) and you can find it here.  Become a follower and that way you'll always know when new things are added.  

The other day I posted about a Noro yarn I purchased and I thought I'd show you how it looked knitted. I've started the shawl and it's one you do from the neck down.  I'm going to try something a little different with this one.....I'm going to add crocheted lace that I will do out of a black lace weight yarn around the bottom edge.  What do you think?  I think black will be a good contrast to all the beautiful bright colors that are in the yarn.   I'm just starting the second ball and since I have 5 of them, it should turn out a nice size after it's blocked.

I hope your Monday has started your week out fine.  I had a doctors appointment this morning and then came home and did some knitting and stitching.   Tomorrow is laundry day....ho hum boring!!!

Hope the rest of your week goes great.......

Blessings as always,

Barbara
