I must say what a wonderful response on my last post about a wonderful woman!
I am so glad it excited and inspired you all! Thank U for coming to read about Sojourner on my blog and sharing her story with others! You all are too kind and really know how to keep a positive thing going!
Speaking of those in history that have knitted. Recently, Urban Knitrix ironically mentioned on her blog how Dr. George Washington Carver crocheted, knitted and did needlepoint!
I also discovered HIStory over at a site called Yarn Boys in History. George even dyed his own yarn!
And speaking of males knitting. Over this past weekend, I meet a black man who knits. I never personally layed eyes on one before!! It was refreshing to experience!
And like George Washington Carver he is a doctor too! Hi Dr. John! He was such a delight to meet!
~ I also really wanted to highlight the eternal kindness of knitters in this post ~
Shortly after Thanksgiving, A Knitter In Queens had a blog contest on her site and I ended up being one of the winners!Guess who has enhanced her stash with 7 balls of NORO! Yah!!
She felt bad about delaying my package that she included 2 balls of Regia sock yarn. Which will be perfect since I made the commitment to do more socks in the new year! And I would prefer to do 2 at 1 time having these two balls will work out well! Thank You Veronica!!Then I received something in the mail besides bills! Myriam went back to her home country and was a sweetheart to remember me! Just one of her regular ole e-blog buddies!
She sent me a post card all the way from Germany! Did I mention how she was just a sweetheart for even thinking of me??
I have yet to travel overseas and I just love when others send me postcards from their travels!
I originally missed the boat on getting this t-shirt when it first come out. I would have begged, borrowed, and stealed for this T-shirt! Also, during our last Charlotte Purls knit group meeting we were gifted these cute pins by Connie
How about this mini yarn ball is made out of NORO yarn! Just perfect!
Love the yarn ball pin!
Love that little pin too!
opportunity to win : )
The pin is adorable!
And what a lot of goodies you've received there - the Noro is absolutely stunning and mind you, I so can't wait to see what you're going to make with it! Have fun!
The pins are neat!
You got some great stuff!!!!
you deserve it all-your such a sweetie!
Super cute pin and i love the pic with you all wearing them :)
