He just looked @ me, then he replied : well I guess the Kromski I was getting you I can just forget it! I said oh no I have to have the Kromski!!! He is in the process of getting it. I hit the jackpot. Will let you know how it all turns out.

I've been knitting a pair of socks for a sock swap. It's so much fun.I have been spinning. My son put in a bid for me on an antique spinning wheel. It was in a fire but not damaged, just smoke. I hope I get it . I'll know Tues. Keep your fingers crossed!!

At 1:54pm on April 20th, 2008, mbernard said…: Hey, thanks for posting on my page. The sweaters on your page are absolutely gorgeous. Someday I will find the guts to do a sweater. I'm just afraid my finishing will be really badly done. Sewing up just kind of scares me. And I love the lacy pattern on those blue socks. Yes, I do plan to homeschool in WA. The laws are a bit different there. Here in OK (We're in Oklahoma City) you don't have to do anything to "qualify" to homeschool. Not so in WA. I will probably have to find a state certified teacher in the area to oversee our work until I can complete a homeschool course. You would think that homeschooling for five years and having all my children at or above grade level in everything would make me qualified. But apparently not. Oh well. I WILL probably learn something, so that's probably the best attitude to have. BTW, what curriculum do you use for your daughter? We love Sonlight for just about everything and recently discovered Math-U-See (for Math, of course). My boys love it! You could have knocked me over with a feather when my boys started asking me to do school so they could do math. But I have finally learned to keep on the lookout for new things. You just never know... Anyway, thanks and make sure to visit me again. Bye!

Went to a Alpaca Show this past Sunday. Purchased some fiber. Will start spinning classes next Fri. I get so excited, just like a little kid! Have a good day!

Should be lots of fun. I'll let u know how it was. What's on your needles? Your items that u have knitted are beautiful. chat at u later. Have a good day!

My disc drawer is also broken so I'm out of luck for posting photos till I get a new cpu. Someone said there's a port on the back of the tower, but I've yet to explore for that. I'm not all that computer savy. Thanks for posting yours though ~ gives me LOTS of inspiration!
The only time I was ever in Boise was to take my nursing license boards. I was impressed and would have liked to have been able to spend more time, it's a beautiful city!

At 9:23pm on April 5th, 2008, Marty said…: Hi, I'm thrilled to see all your gorgeous knitting ~ so talented! I used to live in SE ID and miss the Wasatch vistas terribly. May I add you to my friends list? You have so many textured patterns and I'm trying to make my first pair of socks! Did you design all of the sock patterns? Where are you in ID? My daughter was born there and I call her my 'Spud' !
I, too, am addicted to knitting and MUST pick up the needles daily or get just plain grumpy!
Keep on knittin'

If it's okay, I'll check back on occasion to look for more pictures of those great socks. I love making socks. I joined the sweater knitalong and hope to make a few sweaters this year too.
