I am a little tired. The knit-out was last Sunday, and although we had a small turnout, there was a decent amount of blankets received. This Sunday is the PAWS-atively fabulous CUT-A-THON at Bangz Salon and Spa. Despite the PAWPrints printed late, we will probably have a good turnout.

Onto more exciting talk. I am making the Greta poncho from Viva Poncho. I picked up some yummy angora yarn in a mossy green. I have finally decided that with the Rio do la Plata yarn in burgundy, I will use the Yarn Harlot's poncho pattern. I finished two cat beds for the PAWS Annual Bazaar, I have two that are almost done and need to be felted, and I will probably make two to three more. OR, I may make two felted wine bags. I have some hot pink Cascade yarn, and I just picked up some whisper pink yarn in Cascade, and then some Crystal Palace squiggles.

I just finished organizing the Schlep for Sheep 2005 for stix-n-stitches. We are taking a bus to Rhinebeck, NY, for the NY Sheep and Wool Festival. It should be good, starting off with breakfast, and then trekking up to NY, and enjoying some fried artichokes, sheepdog trials, and wool! Lots of wool!

Our SNB at Parlor has now closed and we have migrated over to Stix-n-Stitches several stores down for the same time period. On Thursday nights around 7pm until 9-ish we sit and knit and chit and chat and stare at yarn. Well, stare isn't an accurate statement, more like we oogle the yarn. I put the baby blanket aside which I am only one skein left to go, but since I took the mitered square class on Wednesday, I decided to take up the acrylic yarn and practice my modular knitting to make a cat blanket. It works great for practicing some yarn. I do think that this would be great for a baby blanket, it creates texture and with the trendsetter yarn would be so cute.

Tomorrow, Ben has his second interview and my fingers are crossed. I am so nervous, which I am sure he will be fine, but I get so nervous.

The kitties are doing well, they are sleeping next to me as I type. I am getting ready for next week's Knit Out in the park. We have a banner made by Joan's friend Linda and it looks beautiful! Pictures to be posted soon!
