Well this morning Jen IM'd me and let me know some of the knitting gang was heading to Knitch in Atlanta. I haven't had piano because I was sick and then this week and next my teacher is on vacation so yesterday I never left the house. It sounded like a good idea. There was a few plus's to this endeavor. First would be getting my Straucht Carder to Jen as she wanted to buy it and I wanted to sell it. I love having it, I hated seeing it go but I knew I would never use it. Anything that goes into our garage pretty much rots and is forgotten about and that was where it was headed with me having to give up my craft room. So off it went to Jen.

Jen also had knit me a freakin beutiful shawl in sea silk. It happened late one night when I sent a link to Jen and she and Melissa and La went all freak shit and wanted to knit it BAD. I said well knit me one while your at it! Sure she said, if you buy us both the yarn. Um okay sure. What?? She didn't expect me to take her up on the offer, but then I didn't expect her to either. She got some purple Seasilk out of the deal, but I think in the end I got the better end of things. I mean how freakin beutiful is it? She did such a good job, she's an amazing knitter. I love how it feels on my skin. I have wanted something from seasilk for a while now and I have always wanted a lace shawl but I know better then to try to knit one. Between the dogs and my husband lace and me, we just don't work.

So i went to knit and got to see everyone and wish Claudia a happy birthday, and she helped me scope out the pattern for knitty's Trellis which I believe will be my next knit. I stashed up for it too! After Knitch I went to IHOP with my husband and the shawl went with me. Oh and at Knitch Melissa brought some of her handspun, I should have taken a photo, it was so beutiful. I have the most talanted knitting buddies! They are just some bad ass knitters/spinners!

Here is the husbeast surfing on his cell phone, which I am pretty sure he is already over his 1mb limit already this month, so excuse me while I go give him a good pinch.
