glow

my goodness.

glowing is me to know that there are at least ninety two people in the world that love childrens painted wooden knitting spools. maybe my family will stop teasing me now. hee hee. thank you so much for all your memorable comments. i really loved reading them all, hearing your memories. some of you had spools made by a beloved parent or grandparent, some made their own. i am most amazed that small children can work the spool knitter. its an art, like knitting, that will survive, and more, i think it will thrive. i'm sure of it. i wish i had a hundred knitting dolls to send out, how lovely that would be. but i had to choose just one for the giveaway. the random number generator helped me, it picked :

claire of border stories 

and

the lovely host of yarn along wished for one too,

another knitting doll will be on it's way to ginny of small things.

a small thank you.

the mittens are flying off to:

evi of sister sun

i hope you'll enjoy   :)

this weekend my daughter and i shopped for wedding dresses. the one above was ordered online and is being returned, it's not the one. but i think we may have found it in a shop saturday, it's simpler, with just a bit of lace. the wedding consultant asked my girl 'is this your dress?' and we giggled (but she didn't say yes. yet. but she was glowing). and oh i cried too, the shop had boxes of tissue strategically placed. they know.  :)  the above glowing rose photo, along with a few others, are newly added to my etsy shop, with new smaller sizes and prices to match. now, time to knit!
