I’ve been a baaaaaaaaaaadddddddddd blogger
So, the only thing I can say is I will try to do (much) better this month. It’s really sad when life just keeps getting in the way, huh?
So, one of the things I’ve been working on is the Big Sock project. It came to me back in mid-October and has since made two knitting forays in my hometown area. The second time, at the Funky Monkey, I introduced about 20 people to knitting. There are several first time stitches in that sock.
Then on the 24th my friend and I had to go to Anchorage for our annual bosom buddy trip (to get our mammograms) so we gathered up the sock and took it with us. We stopped by the Knitting Grounds to leave it in Zaynab’s hands and to allow many more Alaskans to have a hand in the project. I understand they are having a great time - in their Friday Night Knitting Club as well as just about any time someone wants to get it out of the box to work on for awhile. If you’re in Anchorage and haven’t had a chance to work on the sock, it’ll be there until the 14th.
After that, a fellow Raveler is going to take it to Fairbanks to Innua Wool Shoppe so the Fairbanks area knitters can have at it for a bit. So, if you’re reading this and you live in Fairbanks, North Pole or surrounding areas, contact Innua and see when the sock will be available for knitting.
About 10 days later, another fellow raveler will bring the sock back to Anchorage when she comes down to visit her daughter for Thanksgiving. Hubby and I will be in the big city the following day for his doctor’s appointments so we can pick up the sock and bring it back to Kenai.
I LOVE how it all comes together!
Watch for announcements for its next Kenai area stopover. We’ll play with it for a couple of weeks and then send it on to Columbus, Ohio. After that . . . Tennessee. After that????
