attention span of a gnat, I say...

I had this goal of finishing my handspun ganseyish cardigan by the Shepherd's Extravaganza. Which is, of course, this weekend. I've got the first sleeve finished except for the last inch of the cuff, and the scond sleeve not even started. Pretty unlikely I'll be done by Sunday

Holy cow. That's the best baby sock ever.

[emmacrew]

It claims "about 1 year" but also is meant to be 31 sts = 10 cm and I ended up with closer to 40 sts/4" on the foot part, so maybe it will be a newborn sockie after all. The kit is a translation of a couple of patterns from this book, which I have on order, because *lust* even though I probably won't make most of the stuff in it (check out the stockings near the bottom of the page, and I covet that very first pair of mittens).

Oooh! The #33 stockings are fabulous!!!

(Me, I'm haunting the mailbox waiting for my copy of BGK to show up...Did you ever get yours?)

[emmacrew]

Not yet, and I'm champing at the bit! When this kit arrived Monday I was *sure* it was my copy of BGK and almost ran to the mailbox. Heh. I have no idea when the contributor copies shipped, or who shipped them, etc. They did say we'd get them "by the end of the month."

I just wanted to thank you & the other knitting mods for fussing at the person with the swastika icon. And it was posted on Hitler's birthday, no less, a fact which I desperately wish I did not know. (At least it's also George Takei's ^_^ ) Having mods like you guys helps me feel emotionally safe--you may not be able to prevent people from being asshats, but it does make me feel better to know that my emotions are shared by [it seems like] a lot of people.

[emmacrew]

Thanks! Honestly, I was pretty horrified, too, and I'd forgotten about Hitler's b-day until after the fact. :-/ Yay for George Takei, though! That particular poster has been put back on moderation, so we'll be ablereject any future posts using that icon.

If you ever want to reach the whole mod team, sending a note to knittingmods at gmail dot com will get to all of us (though we're certainly not averse to individual thank-yous).

Are you going to the fair on Saturday? I think me and my family are going then too. Would you like to meet for a few minutes?

[saint_buddha]

Opps, my family and I

[emmacrew]

We'd planned to go on Saturday but what with one thing an another we are now going on Sunday instead. Waaah, I'd love to meet up.

[saint_buddha]

Poop. We're going to the Mariners game on Sunday. Is the fair as fantastic as everybody says it is?
