WWKIP June 14 2008

Friday, March 28th, 2008

So… who’s up for another WWKIP in Boston?

Copley was a good space last year, perhaps we can try doing it there again this year, hopefully the weather will be nice and we can all be outside instead of in the food court, but the food court did have food… yum…

Perhaps this year we can man a learn to knit table as well?

Perhaps we can knit in public in the morning and then have an afternoon yarn crawl? Plenty of places down town and then on the red line?

I will start a poll if people leave comments saying that any of this would be something they would like to do.

Let me know what you think Boston.

Won’t you wear a sweater day

Just found out about this today and am feeling a bit ill…. so this, 15minutes prior, is the frist I can get to letting you know about it.

Needless to say, I love Mr. Rogers. Good guy, all around… Protected children and adults in the fabled betamax supreme court hearings.

Editing Episode 46

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Hey all…

Just wanted to let you all know that the 2nd year anniversery/birthday party went well. I have around 10 people show up to watch and participate. Thanks again fro dropping by and making it so much fun.

I have to edit the show. The weekend has gotten away from me, so please bear with me.  I will have the fun show and new drawing up in the next two days.

Last one to know

I know that I don’t get out and do as much knitting and chatting as I would like. But I thought I knew what was going on with the local yarn stores. But then Franklin, in a post on Ravelry, opened up my eyes to a development that is now a year old.

Sean, my first interviewee for the show, is now the owner of Woolcott & Co.. That’s a pretty big thing, seeing as Woolcott is an institution in Harvard Square and all.

Congrats to Sean on this, now year old, achievement. I would have congratulated you in person when I saw you a month or so ago, but apparently I am out of touch. (don’t tell my listeners)

I wonder if he is going to add “a male knitter owned” business to his marketing material?

I also hope that, as the new owner, Sean will invite Franklin to come do a photo shoot at his store in the fall, perhaps around the Head of the Charles. We could start a knitting crew team and try to compete… wool floats.

I live in MA, kinda

You Are 40% Massachusetts


You could pass for being from Massachusetts - until you open your mouth and start pronouncing R’s.

How Massachusetts Are You?

 

Thanks to Lucy for turning me onto this silly test. I am so embarrassed now, I guess my roots are showing.

I guess I’ll go park my car in Harvard Yard. (darn it I pronounced all the Rs)
