Glass of Wine Well Earned

Today I worked at the shop all day! Everyone that walked in loved my vest so I am going to post the pattern, though, I am not the best pattern writer in the world. I ain't no Eunny Jang, Sisters.

Use a Bulky yarn like Limari from Araucania or Blizzard from JCA, uses about 5 skeins for a Medium size. You won't believe how flattering this is...
Cast on 120 stitches on a size 13 needle
K2P2 each row for 7"
K2TG across next K row, so now you have 60 stitches
K1P2 for 25"
Pfb of each stitch on next p row, now you are back to 120 stitches
K2P2 for 7"
Bind off.
Fold in half and sew the 7" sides together. I wish I could draw a picture but my computer skills are crude. Hope you get it. It's a beginner project, fersure.


Isn't this Kocheron pretty? Not for the hard contact lenses wearers out there!


We have had 2 Mormons come into the store to knit, lately. They are really interesting people. They are here at Va Tech to Mission the students but the students are gone. They are not allowed TV or radio, or to stay in the apartment. So instead of wandering the streets, they wandered into the yarn shop and learned to knit. There is no discussion of religion and they just sit quietly and knit. Occasionally I'll give them an address of someone I dislike and tell them to drop by their house. We all laugh and they swear they will. So much fun. I feel sorry for them too, like they are orphans or little matchstick boys about to freeze to death in the 55 degree weather...Virginia was amazed that they both had the same first name 'Elder'. Duh.



Well after a long day at the salt mines, I came home and Bfriend made me a big pot of Gumbo with shrimp and sausage and poured me a glass of "Toasted Head" Yum. To give you an idea of how good the Gumbo is, Bfriend is 100% Louisiana Cajun. Thank you very much! Good thing okra is one of my favorite veggies. That isn't bfiend to the right..thats a 20 year old virgin Mormon knitting his first hat. Peace out.
