birthday booty Still recouperating from the boys' big day, so no knitting to report here. But thinking about birthdays reminds me of some lovely birthday booty that I got two weeks ago when it was my birthday. Dear ol' mom can always be counted on to come through with some knit-gifties. This year she sent me 1000 Sweaters, which is such a cool book, I can't even stand it, and Weekend Knitting, which I decided I had to have after I saw the pie shawl knit up at KnitNY. And speaking of KnitNY, mom got me a gift certificate. Hooray! More patterns, more yarn, if only I had the energy to knit again. posted by alison at 8:28 am | in

Alison, great loot! Your mom rocks. And please accept my belated best birthday wishes, as I considered that it might have been your day on 7/4, but I couldn't decide so I never clicked the comment box! Posted by: maggi at July 16, 2004 10:14 AMI LOVE Weekend Knitting. I received it for Mother's Day. It rocks. Posted by: LauraA at July 16, 2004 10:33 AMOh good ...I am glad you got WK.: ) Carrie and I like alot of the projects. I LOVE the market bag Carrie made from that book. Anxious to see your progress if you do decide to jump into the pie shawl. Have a nice weekend! Posted by: Cindy at July 16, 2004 10:54 AMWhat is KnitNY?? I clicked but no luck... I am a knitter from NY (BUffalo) and I just wondered... Thanks, Maggi! Cindy, it was such a coincidence that mom sent me that book! I hadn't mentioned it to her, but I'd put it on my amazon wish list months ago and she saw it there. Good job mom! Oops, Debby, I typed in the wrong web address for KnitNY. I've fixed the link now. Try it again! :) Posted by: alison at July 16, 2004 11:03 AMJuly is *the* birthday season for the blue blog, huh? Those are great knitting presents, and happy 3rd to the twins! They look like they had such a blast on their big day! Posted by: Sarah C. at July 16, 2004 2:32 PMHappy B-day to your boys and Happy recovery day to their mom! You'll knit again soon. Give yourself about 45 minutes ;-) Posted by: Jenny at July 16, 2004 2:47 PM |
