Please think about shopping here

Hello all,

I know this is non-knitting related, but it is theatre related. As you probably know, unless you are under a rock, there is a strike going on in New York. This strike has closed all but a few of the broadway shows. This time of year is the major fundraising time for a wonderful organization called Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS

This is a wonderful organization that has been raising money for people living with AIDS for many years. Usually, they would have the casts of shows raising money during the holiday time, and the casts have been known to raise upwards of $200,000. The website for the organization has a wonderful store, you can purchase clothing items, CD's (the holiday ones are great) and many other novelties that are holiday related. Please keep this organization in your Holiday giving htis year. Without the additional support, they will be struggling.

I GOT APPROVED!!!!!!!

Totally not knitting related. I have been approved for the adoption of Hagrid (The famous kitty from my last post) I am soooo excited. Hoping to get him on Friday. YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo excited.

Working on some Christmas knitting now, Things looking good on that front. I have a four day weekend next weekend where I plan to sit and enjoy real cable while taking care of my friends dog, cat, and getting to know my new cat.

Thanks for the happy thoughts.

Okay, back on this planet

So the past few weeks have been, shall I say. . . . Okay, yeah they have been ridiculously busy. A few FO's to show off. First things first.
This is a Harry potter Scarf (DUH) and here it is, pleasantly modeled by my favorite seven year old.
I am really happy with how it came out. Now for the next bit of cuteness.

Be prepared, this is WAY Cute

I know, they are just too cute for words. I made them for my cousin who is due in April. Can't wait to see these on the little one.

Okay, now for the really big news, the theatreknitter is joining the ranks of pet owners, just check him out.

He is certainly tall (no that is not a short counter)

And totally handsome

And Very curious. He spent a lot of time at this door trying to figure out what was going on behind it. I am hoping to get him Thanksgiving weekend. We shall see. I can't wait. I am really looking forward to it.

Oh, and back on a knitting note. A few weeks back I got home after an OBNOXIOUS day at work, and in my mail box was the coolest package ever.

It is a Yarn Bouquet. It is from knitrella I think. Of course, it was ordered from me by none other than becca It is AWSOME. I think I may even make socks out of it. I found it even cooler that the card was handwritten. It is a bad picture, but I will show it anyway

I won't even bother getting into work right now, it is too hectic to discuss. Just crazy, but hopefully getting better. I promise to post more as the holidays get closer. wish me luck with Hagrid, Oh yeah, that is the cats name. How cool is that. Anyway, I have not officially been approved by the agency yet, so wish me luck.

It's raining

Finaly!!!!!! I live in Eastern NC, as most of you know. WE have been suffering from a drought situation here. It is finally raining, snd should stay that way all night tonight and into tomorrow.

It is just wonderful.

I started a shawl last night to wear to the gala. A nice practive at lace knitting. It is just some kidsilk haze (mmmmmmmmm, pretty) I am using two pinks. a Dusty rose and a baby pink. Nothing fancy, just a stockinette shawl. It is really nice and soft, and will go great with my brown dress. Added to that, I get to wear my pink shoes.

Kay, nough for now, I must ticket.

few projects done

I am at work right now, so no pics for you, sorry, but I finished a Gryffyndor scarf for Ian who is going to be HArry for halloween. I can't wait. Get to send that to him tomorrow. Working on a hat for becca Also made some mittens and will be making some booties. Made her a hat to leave behind in the nursery as a gift. It was kind of an accident, tht turned into a really cool idea I think.

Had a great weekend. I got to go and see Sleuth If you find yourself in the Greensboro area, I would totally go. I also got to see a great friend that I have not seen in 6 years. SHe was my old boss when I worked for north carolina shakespeare We went to the farmers market and drove around High Point it was really great. I highly reccommend recconecting with people from your past. THat is my tip for others for today. My tip to myself, learn to communicate with people at work. Yeah, that would be good. Not doing a great job of that, I will figure that out eventually. It would be nice if they would bend a bit as well, but I thin I am the one that has to give more this time.
