Hi again Auroralso

Your sheep face is adorable. I've thought for about 5 years to make a hooked rug for my entry way. But I think about all the hand work, which I'd love to do, but don't really want dirty boots and shoes walking all over it!

I'm not teaching any knitting right now. But I did in what seems a different life time if you know what I mean. I'd love to find a group to sit and knit with around town somewhere. There was one, but the book store where the group meet went out of business well over a year ago. Maybe I'll find one somewhere. I've not really looked. I'm like you, I like to have something portable to take with me. I end up the passanger whenever my husband and I go somewhere - though he gets mad with me if I knit in public. Once I brought my knitting to a collage hockey game! He was so mad he wanted to leave. He got over it, but he does tent to over react with stuff like that. I think it's because he doesn't get how relaxing knitting is.

Prayer shawls? All lacey ones? I've only knitted a few lacy all over patterns but now only in dishclothes or socks. Thanks for the tips on felting. The felted bags I've made I did in the washer. I read a knit blog about someone who used her bath tub and a toilet plunger! I have a finished bag as far as the knitting goes, but it needs felting. It is a cream color and I was planning to do needle felting with fibers after I get around to felting it.

Well, the super bowl is going to be starting soon, and the pumpkin pie should be coming out of the over and cooled just about time for the 2nd quarter! I'm going to see if I can talk my mostly nice hubby into going out for French Vanilla Ice Cream or whipped cream to go with it!

Keep those needles hot! That's a good thing sayeth Auroralso yeah, and that Martha chick
