Weeee! I went to normal Thursday noon knitting and walked in and saw this lady with rainbow hair and thought to myself... I know her, I think. Here it was Lucy Neatby!!!!
I introduced myself and shook her hand. She was very kind and not at all stand-offish. She asked me if I had a copy of her dvd index and told her no. She then lfet for lunch. She is in Neenah WI for Midwest Masters, that starts tomorrow. After lunch she came back and handed me an index to her DVD's. I asked her if she would autograph it. And of course, she did.... "To Debbie, May your stitches always smile! Lucy" and drew her cute little smiling stitch. THEN>>> she sat down and knit with me!!!!! We talked about Ravelry and her dvd's and new ones coming out. She is so friendly and I love her accent.
So that was the thrill of the year!!!!
Oh and I bought some Dream in Color Smooshy for 30% off! Score!!!!!

Blogging for money?
Get paid to blog! I am always looking for ways to be able to buy yarn and I have discovered that companies are willing to pay to advertise on your blog about what they offer.
Smorty blog advertising is a service connecting advertisers with bloggers. Advertisers will pay bloggers to write opinion posts with links back to their site. http://www.smorty.com
Can you imagine getting paid to blog? I can and have been paid.
Oh, I will still be blogging about my knitting and my grand children and other stuff, so keep coming back.
Yesterday's road trip with Debra was so much fun. We did a full 12 hours together! Our first stop was lunch and then we went to Herrschner's. From there we went to The Black Purl in Wausau. We had our knitting along so we sat and knit with Beth, the owner and a couple of other knitter's. And we scored on some hard to find books and magazines. She is have a sale next weekend so be sure and head to Wausau! Then we headed to Waupaca and ate supper in King at the King's Table. And then we headed to The Troll's Cove for open knitting and scored some more yarn. There were 8 of us knitting and having fun. It was a fun filled fibery day. Thanks Debra!

Feeling Good!
Ahh.... today I feel very good. It has been a few weeks of battling bronchitis and the flu. I only had a light case of the flu because I take my GBG 10-in-1 Liquid Vitamins daily. My hair and nails are growing gangbusters! AND I noticed I am not having any more hot flashes! That is worth every penny that GBG 10-n-1 costs! Yippee.
I finished my jaywalker socks, finally. That second sock syndrome really kicked in on that pair. I am about halfway done with my vest, now that warmer weather is getting nearer. :-)
Tomorrow I am going on a road trip to yarn shops with my dear friend, Debra. We will travel and giggle and fondle yarn! Sounds like fun, huh? :-)

It is open to all countries, but only theses languages: Spanish, German, English, Italian, Swedish, Norwegian, French. You do need to put some code on your blog and it will help you get jobs. I am looking forward to earning money to buy more yarn!

Signs of Spring?
Well we had a record snowfall this winter and there is still plenty of piles of the stuff around. No signs of spring flowers but many spring birds. I heard my first robin this morning, saw some sandhill cranes on Sunday and saw some geese flying north. The birds are chirping more and it is music to my ears.
I can not wait to get rid of winter coat!

In Memory of Faye
Today a wonderful woman of God went to the arms of her Heavenly Father. My mother-in-law, Faye, passed away peacefully. She will be missed but we all know that she is happy and pain free now. Jesus was her Lord and Savior and He welcomed her home. Dad will miss his bride of 65 years, but now he won't have to hear her cry in pain. Oh how he loved her. She would have turned 89 next month.
Faye's pecan pie was the best I ever ate. She loved playing Dominos and telling a good clean limerick. She was like a mom to me and loved me.
I'll miss you momma Faye.

Matching Tam & Mittens
Wow I match now! I used the Tam pattern in Hats On! by Charlene Schurch but added some pattern to match my mittens. Blocking it with a plate in sure made a nice crisp edge.
Finally a tam to wear with the mittens I knit earlier. I sure needed them today as we got 6 more inches of snow! I am tired of snow, how about you?
I like the nice spiral created by the decreases.

Blogiversary and stuff
There is a contest over here. Leave a comment and mention my blog to enter.
It is finally warming up here in WI. That subzero stuff really starts to wear on a person and cars.
I am still plodding along on Monkey socks.... I don't have that much left... need to just sit and knit and not spend so much time on Ravelry. :-)

Monkey socks
I am making slow progress on my first pair of monkey socks. I cast on early January but not working on them all the time. I like the pattern and how they fit. I am using Brown Sheep Wildfoote luxury sock yarn. It will be a durable sock, I think. The Deco Lime color is very fun.
I bought a new camera today, hence the picture of the socks. I had some inheritance money left over and the camera was on sale. My old one lasted 8 years so I guess I got good life out of it. This new camera has twice as many mega pixels as the old one and half the weight! Oh and twice as big viewer.
I got my coupon to spend at a local yarn shop today and just couldn't decide what to buy as it is good on only 1 purchase. That kinda sucks as it is worth $60. I need to buy a bunch of yarn or some pricey extra tool. I will spend some time in prayer about it as I want to get the best for me. I guess I could get enough yarn to make a luxury sweater...or enough fiber to spin enough yarn for a luxury sweater. Or a mess of sock yarns...nah sock yarn doesn't go far enough.
