    I have been able to waste nearly a week getting no knitting done because i was too tired from being sick. Unfortunately the “insurance” covers nothing so I couldnt go to the doctor cause I couldnt afford it. But I was able to get some reading in. TWILIGHT is now my addiction. I cant believe these books have been out for so long and I have never read them but I am so happy that I did. I think the BF has so serious competition because the saga is one of the best love stories I have ever read.

    To celebrate this wonderful day of making people aware of knitting, I spent my morning with a group of twelve great women knitting in the our local mall. We got some strange looks from others but there were some who came up to us directly and started to ask questions. It was fun and I am extremely happy that I went. I hope that all of you spent your day getting our your point sticks and making them noticed in public.!!
