On a roll



I was quite busy working on the stage set I designed for a four-part month of Christmas mini musicals called Christmas Backwards(going from modern dayto the 50s to Victorian and ending at Bethelehem.) I got to film part one last nite! I can't wait to post the pictures.

Before I left for Tulsa, I completed this ripple scarf which I will dub, Dos Ripples, a smaller version of Tres Ripples. I received a lace yarn order from Knit Picks. some I gave away or traded off, this is what I kept. I also picked up some more Superfine Alpaca to make a beret and scarf.

Hubby and I flew to Tulsa for his father's 90th birthday. We ate at a homestyle resturant called the Flying Roll Ranch. We were served from the kitchen pots and thrown hot rolls! I got to see the wonderful entirely lighted campus of Rhema Bible Church and College with synchronated music! It is just as spectacular as Disney's Parade of Lights without the fireworks.

I went stashing at Stitches and LOOPS. I knitted with the LOOPS Tuesday night sock group and then went on to the Panera Bread Tuesday night knit group via Ravelry! it was all a lot of kinetics for me(I forgot to take my camera)!!!!! As you can see I am on a Tagliatelli kick, and a very exciting deal on Colinette for a dollar a skein at The Lamb Shoppe! I gifted a LOOPS nail file and the lovely denimy Magallenes to my friend Tamara (as soon as I saw it, it had her name all over it).

Shellie's shawl (the one I crocheted the border blocked out way to lovely) she adored it I am happy to say! I was glad to pick up some Lorna's Lace in the colors of my blog at Shellie's (Coppellia's Shivering Sheep). I also got two more green colors of Lime n Violet, plus some mohair.

I got on a big beading kick for two days during which taught a One Stroke class (did I mention I am teaching Donna Dewberry and watercolors at my local Jo Ann Fabrics?) I also finished the third part of a quilting class series! I have lots of classes coming up in January.

I am on my fourth skein of yarn on my Goldilock(formerly Lady Eleanor). I have also managed to crochet two ripple scarves! One if the ripples is for Ravelry's Scarf Exchange group. The scarf is going to kwachta in Hamiton, Ontario! I have a boxes of goodies to be mailed out this Monday to several persons! I will post about them after I know they have received them!

Wednesday Nites are good in Denver




First I stopped in a Coppelia's Shivering Sheep, Shellie, the propietor had called me to tell me she would like me to teach a sock class! She also informed me of a new shipment of Lime and Violet! Here's the new stash!

Then I headed over to Lamb Shoppe I got there early, 5-ish, so I could get settled in and shop before it got to crowded to feel the contemplateive mood I need to shop. I bought this Ziton Trekking Pro Nature. I started another group a couple of week ago on Ravelry, Zitron Groupies! I have to tell you there had to be over 40 people in there knitting and crochet, young and old alike! It was sheer heaven! I hopped around having to check out what everyone was making! It all never ceases to amaze me what people are thinking, making and saying! Alot of persons were very gracious and generous with their compliments on my Modern Quilt Wrap! One of the owners had me show her how I was adding on a new sqaure and the lovely decrease the pattern offers! I was telling everyone I call it my Peruvian/Amish/Rasfarian colorway!

This morning on Ravelry, Rosemary Hill invited me to the Muir group, to do a KAL! I was thrilled because I needed to find something for this Interlacements DYERS CHOICE fine boulce that I purchased last winter of 07. I think it will look stunning. Rosemary, aka Romi on Ravelry is a true inspiration in my live right now! Along with a few others!
