It's That Time Again

Yes! it was time again to meet up with the KnitGirllls and Wendy . I can hardly believe its been a year since they were here @ Fibre Space. We had a great evening of chatting and catching up. We also were just in time to fondle the new Brooklyn Tweed American-made yarn LOFT. Lisa of FiberNymph came down . Laura's sister Becky also made the trip down from Pennsylvania. Many locals like Space Junk(Amy) stopped by to hang out and knit. Danielle and the Fibre Space crew were all there.


Then on Saturday Arthella, Chelette and I were able to catch the play "Loose Knit". It was the last night at the Waddell Theater in on the campus of Northern VA Community College in Sterling Virgina. Once a week in the heart of New York City five women gather to knit. The play outlines the battle between the sexes with wit, ferocity and insight in a contemporary comedy of manners. If this play comes in your town, please go see it. We really enjoyed it.We have been busy trying to get some projects off the needles. I finished Summer Flies. Chelette just finished Ceraisfera. As the year comes to a close we are trying cut down on purchases and reduce our stash. Of course it's easier said than done. There are so many beautiful yarns to choose from.

Happy Knitting!!!!

This is it!/ Give-A-Way

Yes this is it!!!! A new post finally. Even though months have passed and I haven't posted here, our thoughts are still on all the wonderful people we have met through this blog. Of course I have written a post many times in my  head but not taken the time to write it down. We missed our 3rd Blogiversary. Many events have come and gone. Thanksgiving has even passed us by. Christmas is just around the corner. We have gotten our yearly Christmas card from the Meir Family already (thanks Carol, Loved it! ).
It's funny how certain things tend to get overlooked. Let's just say, we are still happily doing our favorite things:  knitting  and buying yarn(not so much), we even caught the 6am sale at Fibre Space on Black Friday. It was a blast.
I decided it was time to catch up on things, including this blog. Chelette just had minor surgery. She is doing well and I am here with her for a few days to help out. We have had fun knitting and playing with patterns and yarn. She and I both finished a few already started projects. Now, if only I could have another week off from work, I could really get some knitting done. Of course that isn't possible, back to work as usual on Monday.

We have decided that we are going to use this post to announce a "Give A Way" for all those events we missed and a thank you to everyone who have visited us in the past.
All you have to do is place a comment on this post telling us how long you have been reading this blog and how you discovered us...
I know you want to know what the prizes are. All I am going to say is  it will be from our favorite yarns, Wollmeise, Neighborhood Fiber Co and  Bugga(all ravelry links). This should be fun.
We have been trying to do this since the summer and I am finally getting around to it.
The ending deadline will be  December the 15th. at midnight.
It will be nice to hear from those who have never left a comment but who read this blog. Have a great week♥ We look forward  to hearing from you.

It's about time

Hello everyone. I know you are agreeing with me. It's been way to long. I have written a post in my head a couple of times. I even started a draft. All I know is that it's true what they say about time. It stops for no one. The summer has flown by. Fall is just around the corner. It feels like before you know it, winter will be here. Okay enough of the this pity party about why I haven't blogged. I wanted to share this past weekends outings♥
 We had the opportunity to visit the new Looped Yarn Works in Wash. D.C. and liked it very much.

The space was beautiful and it had a lot of light and gorgeous yarns displayed nicely throughout the store.

They carry a nice selection of yarns. Malabrigo, Berocco, Koigu, Rowan, Frog Tree, Classic Elite, SWTC, Blue Heron and Tilli Tomas," Just to name a few. They also have some staples like Cascade 220.


Then on Monday, I found out that The KnitGirllls  LaLa and Les were going to be at Fibre Space, sooooooo we went to meet them. It was fun to see them in person and hang out and knit with them just like on the Video cast.  They were staying with Wendy, so it was my chance to meet her as well. We had a great time while they were waiting around to catch their flight back home. Thanks Les and LaLa♥ It was nice to meet you and see you in person. I know my friend Bev would have loved to been there to meet you in person too.

Okay I am ending this now.. I hope you all have a great week and get to do something you love♥

Day 22....Happy Sunday

I woke up this morning around 5:30 am in a frantic frenzy. Running around the house, scuffling to get myself in the shower get my bags together to load the car, grab a bite to eat and get out the door so that I wouldn't be late for work.. WORK ??WORK??... OMG... Today is Sunday... I can't believe I thought it was Monday. Thank God it's SUNDAY!!. I must have been in the twilight zone. I think this is what happens when you work to much without days off. This was my first weekend off in a long time..yeah I know I was off work last week, but that doesnt count..

Yesterday we had another fabulous Knitting day. We went to Fibre Space to catch Miss Bab's. The store was packed with her yarn. I couldn't decid on a favorite. She even has cashmere roving. I know I don't spin but it sure is tempting. Mighty soft♥


Then we were lucky enough to be right down the street from Hank's Oyster Bar. You know I can't pass up Fried Oysters.. They were sooooo good.

Then it was off to Accokeek to hang out at Thella's house for a craft get together. Cheryl brought along her sewing matchine. Arthella had already cut out the project bags. We were on a mission. Cheryl had her Noni bag to work on. Chelette had her Cable Wrap and I had my Lace Stole. Before you knew it hours went by. We did complete one project bag. It was fun to get patterns and knitting supplies organized. We are already trying to plan when we can do this again♥
