“We meant to, but time got away from us”? It’s not an excuse. It’s an admission of guilt. I use it occasionally, but it’s still pretty bad.

I love the needle rolls, and I do knit (currently hold the title for World’s Slowest Knitter), and would love to trade for yarn. Whattdya like?

Yarn. I just love yarn.

Currently, I’m thinking about htat brocade throw. I think what I’d like to do is that everyone who wants in on a chance to have it for their very own to send me a color of Red Heart super saver yarn in one of the colors the throw requires. Mostly because I can’t find a lot of colors around here, it requires like 15 colors, and Red Heart is ubiquitous – you can find it at Wal Mart and most eveyr low brow place that carries yarn – and it’s cheap. Like $2.99 a skein.

Mail me a color, you get an entry in the raffle, then I’ll make it, put it in the fair, and someone (probably Val) will pick a name out of a hat and that person wins the throw.

The only thing is, I don’t want it to be expensive. I’ll have to find out how much it costs to mail one skein of yarn. It may be so stupidly pricey that it would be cheaper to just go buy the yarn at my local wal mart. Red Heart shouldn’t cost $7.00 a skein with shipping, you know?

I don’t know, I haven’t worked out all the details in my head. But I did like the idea of everyone picking out a shade or color – you know, being able to see what everyon’es idea of “the prettiest green” or “the nicest red” is – because Red Heart comes in lots of different shades of green and brown and red and orange – and I wanted to see the color combination we came up with when we were all involved.

I would trade something for a needle roll. I don’t knit, but they’d be great for art brushes.

Oh yeah!! You’re right!! They would be great for that!!

Sned me your address.

Kim

Kim, if you would email me an address I would love to send something for the showerless Mom to be.

email me and I’ll send the address. I just have to find out her last name – I know the address where she’s staying.

You’re also too smart and talented for the likes of Malone.

And you aren’t??

I think we should build our own subdivision – and require IQ tests to live in there. We’d have very few neighbors.

Kim

Oh, what else does the baby boy need? I will knit something, too If you’ll send me an address to send it to.

I can’t imagine there’s anythign the baby doesn’t need. Write me at my regular email and I’ll send you an address.

I love the sacks. Please let me know how much for you to sew one for me.

Love your blog. thanks!

BUT, even more inappropriate is for the father, who never deemed it important enough to marry his baby’s mama, TO ATTEND THE SHOWER!

If he cannot comprehend that the most important gift he can give his future kid is a full-time, official, live-in, legal daddy who financially supports his spawn and emotionally supports his “baby mama”, there is no hope for this “family”. To sit there without shame to see what his girlfriend “scored” for this kid is so offensive.

Your creations are beautiful as always, such a shame they were just taken for granted by the recipient. I would also like to send a baby gift to sad girl. Please let me know where I should send it.

You have such a big heart and generous nature, you are an inspiration!
