Reprise of 6 Degrees

by barbara waters

So a bit ago I wrote about the 6 degrees of separation thing going on with me and a fellow knitter from ravelry. I mentioned that when she told me why she was coming to Alaska that I had asked her if she knew someone I knew from that church. And, she did.

Well, a followup to that message was another a day or so later. I had been telling the receptionist at work about all this and she said “is her name _________?” I told her that yes, it was. And she said, “Oh, I know her! Tell her I said hi.” I did, and passed another message from the first person back to the receptionist and we all just started laughing. THAT is how the world seems to run with knitters - okay, probably any craft has the same sort of connection.

At any rate, these two will likely meet up next week - renewing a friendship. How very cool is that?

And, as you read this I will be traveling up to Anchorage to board my flight to Indiana, where on Friday I will meet up with the raveler I mentioned. Tomorrow as I pack I will be making up a little goodie bag for her - with love from Alaska.

And, I’ll be missing from these pages until the 24th. I know, what else is new, huh? I really do intend to come in here and write and write and write . . . but something always gets in the way (LIFE! mostly) Hopefully I’ll have a picture of two of the ravelry meet-up to share with you.

    Have a wonderful trip and visit … It will be fun to talk to a fellow knitter. Whenever I would get together with my good knitting buddy our husbands would say - “The’re they go… they start thier new conversations right where they left off last year. LOL

    Be safe
    God Bless,
    Linda

About Knitting Passion

Is knitting really a passion? On THIS blog it is - for all who come here. Blog entries will be made up of patterns, photos of in-progress or completed work - off the wall discussions about whatever tickles the author's fancy (Survivor Knitting anyone?). This can be as much YOUR blog as it is the current author's. Questions will be entertained and answers sought diligently. Comments are always welcome - and information ALWAYS appreciated. Will there be stories and pictures of the stash of yarn or the duplicated knitting needles? Will there be more off the wall ideas for knitting? Will there be original patterns or freebies cited? Only the dark of night and the author's amount of caffeine or sleep can determine that.

Ready? ONE - TWO - GET SET - KNIT!
