Wow!

by barbara waters

That was just so very neat . . . I opened my mailbox today to find an envelope all bulky and squishy and special . . .

How very cool is that? Thanks, Robin! Really, the pleasure is all mine. I was happy to help.

And, thanks to all of YOU who helped Wendy meet AND beat her goal of $5000 - she sits at $5380 as of Thursday night.


by the way, thanks to a link from the Two Dolla page, I have discovered that knittingpassion.com is rated thusly:

apparently knitting passion has that rating because “breast” was mentioned FIVE times! (oooh - can we say Breast Cancer Awareness, friends? I knew we could)

And - for some reason it also got that rating because the word “pain” was mentioned ONE time. Now, THAT is a real pain in my patootie, if you follow my meaning.

hahahaha

Thanks again, Robin - I am picking out the perfect sock pattern - and I LURVE purples!!!

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!
