Wednesday Knitting Stuff

Just a couple notes about all kinds of stuff, as usual. First off the Judy Scarf has made it to a new stage. We are now knitting on both ends. If you thought three people knitting on the same item was impressive there can now be six people knitting on the Judy Scarf. Today there were five people knitting on the Judy Scarf. Many people took pictures and a fun time was had by all. I will post pictures when I steal them from other people’s blogs.

This is also a reminder that we will be having a Knit Along for Judy at the Homestead Salvation Army on the Sixth of January. We will be meeting at 10:00 AM and are asking everyone one to bring a side dish or dessert. The more the merrier.

Also I have not heard from the Christian Knitters yet. The waiting game continues. I did hear from the Knitting Stephanies. If you read the very first post or a couple along the way some people have called me by my given name that is Steven. I had seriously considered submitting to the Knitting Stephanies when I first started signing up for Net Rings. Lo and behold I now find out that one of the High Muckie Mucks of the Knitting Stephanies is Stephieface who lives near by. It is a bit disturbing that our paths continue to cross on such a regular basis.

Well it has been another exciting day. I would like to thank everyone that has been praying for my wife. I would also like to thank everybody that has worked on Judy.

Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice.

Jesus is Alright With Me

Just a couple of random musing this evening, or should I say this morning.

First I have added a section for terms for this blog. I put in a few terms already and will continue to add more as I go. If anyone had a term that they think I should add just leave a message on this post. There are at least a couple dozen clowning terms that need to be added. Many are unique to my Brigade

The Judy scarf is the only thing I am knitting and it is not even half way done. Still progress continues to be made.

I have noted that some of the net rings I have tried to join have still not put me on their lists. I am very sad about this. Most disappointing among them is the Christian Knitters. Am I doing something wrong? Did they not review my blog. Was it that I did not support Mel Gibson enough?

Alright it was not really a surprise that the Knitting Stephanies turned me down. I am male and have a hard time passing as a Stephanie. Well I don’t know.

Be safe out there and keep your stick on the ice.

More Rings

congratulations to me.

I have been accepted into most of the knitting rings that I have listed on my Side Bar. If any one has a ring that you think I should join please let me know. I went to the Thursday monthly group at Panera on Blvd. of the Allies in Oakland. There were four folks there and fun was had by all.

I have decided to spend my time working on my knitting bag. It is going to be so manly that Rosie Grier would be proud. The black is a Red Heart Acrylic, the green is a Moria 65% Nylon, 20% Acrylic and 12% Mohair. I will add a picture of the yarn and the needles when I can upload. The bag is going to be black designed somewhat like a bicycle messenger's bag. There will be cables on the sides of the flap.I will knit a tree trunk and branches in the the center and I will duplicate stitch the leaves in with the green.

I am not using a pattern. If anyone is truly interested I will write one after I have knit the bag.

As always have a blessed day.

First Ring

I know it is not that exciting but my blog has been accepted by Men Who Knit. It is the first Ring that I have been accepted to. For joy for joy.

Also the Knitting group on the South Side is doing well. Over the week end most of us took a field trip to the. We had much fun and there. Perhaps we will take a trip to a petrochemical factory where we can see some acrylic yarn being made.
