All better

Well, Robin, the computer god that he is, fixed my problems with uploading files to PittsburghKnitting so all is well there.

I wanted to point folks to the Fiber Festival that a friend is planning.

And lastly, Natural Stitches now has a blog and I'm off to do some updating on that page.

Keep on knitting!

On the Knitting Front

Nine years ago I closed the doors to the yarn shop I had owned for over five years.

Soon I am going to be reopening those doors, in a way.

I have decided it is time for me to once again open and run a yarn store in the city of Pittsburgh. So, like a phoenix, Natural Stitches will be reborn.

I am waiting to actually sign the lease on a space that is perfect. Ok, maybe not quite perfect, but definitely close.

With over 2000 square feet it'll be a BIG place and I'll need to carry a lot of yarns.

I'm willing to entertain any suggestions local folks might have. Though I plan on not carrying much (if any) yarns that you can find at Michael's, JoAnn's, or Pat Catan's.

I can't give any more details, primarily because until I actually sign the lease, I don't HAVE any of the details. *sigh* So stay tuned for future updates!

Wheee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still Alive

Yes, I am still alive.

All the cats are doing great.

Buddy has become very snuggly in the evening.

Brigid is still very skittish, but she sleeps at the end of the bed in a kitty bed pretty much every night.

Raven, ah Raven. He's gotten HUGE. He's not even a year old and I think he's nearly 15 lbs! And no, it's not really fat. He's just big.

He's also being Clicker Trained and loves it when we work together.

Sorry for the crummy pictures. I quickly snapped them minutes ago just for fun.

On the knitting front I recently finished a red short sleeved sweater, perhaps I should wear it tomorrow.

Oh yeah, In September I started Medifast. So far I've lost 75 lbs! Yeay!

Still Alive

Yeah, I'm still alive. Sorry I haven't posted but writing isn't easy for me.

The kitties are all doing well. Raven is getting bigger, Brigid is still very shy, and Buddy has taken a liking to sleeping in my lap when I knit. Raven is also learning to be a clicker trained kitty. He can do several tricks and he's only ~10 months old!

Tonight (Well, Saturday) Was my SO's birthday so I invited two good friend over and we had fondue. Both a lovely cheese fondue and a broth one. Lots of goodies to dip, and all were stuffed.

Knitting wise, I'm working on a sweater for the cruise I'm going on on the 23rd. A healing shawl for a friend, the ever going socks, and way more other projects that I can't keep track of! And I'm keeping Pittsburgh Knitting up to date as well.

I'm also doing a lovely pearl spiral rope necklace to go with the little black dress I bought for the cruise. It's lovely.

Ah yes, last but not least, Pittsburgh Knitting has a new logo. And there is even merchandise you can get if you want. Proceeds go to the designer of the logo, my SO, who will be losing his current job end of April. So please support a starving artist.. uhm... programmer... uhm... guy I really like. (Yeah, that's it.)

Take care all.
