An award with a little challenge...

The Premio Meme Award...Margie awarded me with this fun award, and it is sharing seven facts about yourself and passing it on to seven others. I loved the way she presented her seven facts. Very insightful! I had fun with it.

Okay, I have to pass this along and I choose these fine folks: Rebekah, Joanne, and Kathy. I have to come up with four more, but it's a start!

Now, on with knitting...I'm whipping up a little jacket from Vogue Knitting Fall 2009's issue. It's been fun and quick to knit. I'm picking up for the collar right now and will have that ready when I go to the coffee shop before class today. I've been chatting with the designer through Ravelry and she's very nice. I'm anxious to share the finished project.
I had the brown yarn and the skein of oatmeal in my stash. I started out with 9 skeins and only used 3! I like the yarn (one can't go wrong with Rowan) and the Lamb's Pride is perfect with it.

Fab felting class, an FO, a great gift from across the pond, and an award!

It was quite a busy weekend! I'd not been to the shop for Friendship Friday for a few weeks and it was nice to see everybody and my lovely gifts from Margie arrived on Friday! I was so excited to receive a Cath Kidston bag along with three skeins of authentic Aran wool and a lovely card. IThank you, Margie! 'm using the bag already for my small WIP, a test knit for Joanne. Thanks for asking me to do this for you, Joanne. I'll post photos when I've made more progress.

The Mystery Bag is finished. Now off to be with Angel for the lining. I found some wonderful Kaffe Fassett fabric at Fat Quarter two doors down from the shop when I went to work yesterday. I think it's perfect!
Before class our group met at Starbucks and Dawn showed up with Sock Monkey from the shop. Kris is almost finished with the Alan Dart pirate (it's a gift for a co-worker), and we were quite the sight! I'm enjoying that time before class with friends--the fun just continues when we get to the shop for class. I think we all had frogging syndrome yesterday. Everyone seemed to have to frog back the knitting, but as usual, we managed to have lots of fun in spite of the snafus!
Margie awarded me a fun award that involves sharing seven facts about yourself and passing it on to seven others. I like how she did hers with photos and I need to charge up my camera and work on that...

Spinning dizzy...and a major award (it's not a lamp!)

My drop spindle class was a success today. It was fun to teach something different and my students (7!) did a great job. The spindles worked out great and everyone had fun. When lunch was ready, they were so focused that they waited for a bit before eating! I'm sure I'll have another class soon.
I received a very nice award recently from Margie at Margie's Crafts. Thank you so much! I will post more about it soon!
I haven't posted since the our flying squirrel incident--I've been a bit busy. Jim brought Ben and three other classmates back to the cities for Thanksgiving. It's WONDERFUL to him home again for a few days. The college had a live feed for a swim meet on Friday. I managed to watch a bit of it and see Ben. I lost the signal a couple of times. It's amazing to watch something like that from my computer! Cool!
I'm really pooped and I see why--it's late. The guys already crashed, so I guess it's my turn...good night!
