Off to NYC, then Ireland




Am about to leave for NYC---and on Dec 29 I leave for Ireland---for a family wedding. But since I am not sure that my pics have transferred to my lap top I thought I would do this before I leave.

The craft fair was a huge success but of course I was so busy that I didn't take any pics. Usually Emily or another knit-one-oner steps in but they were buzzing around too. But.......I did get photos of the newest knit-one-oners----Molly and Sam----well in truth you can't see them but they are in those little pouches on Zoe and Jesse. And Sammie ---we have to be careful of emphasising the "mie" so as not to confuse him with the little person mentioned above-----was very interested in Kolya who is about his size.


OK> Enough. I have to finish packing

The very first knit-one-one holiday craft fair




This coming Saturday----Dec 13---from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm ----the knit-one-one studio will be filled with gorgeous stuff. Details
here

Here's how the idea got started.

In September we had a k11 teachers' meeting. And KnitSonya suggested having a craft sale of some kind. At the time I thought it was a great idea but then my birthday hoopla happened and the notion just flew out of my brain. It resurfaced a few weeks ago. Mmm..... I thought to myself ....I wonder if it is too late. I sent a missive to the k11 t's to see what they thought and Kira K, KnitSonya, and Woolywumpus jumped on the idea. It was their enthusiasm that put the wind at my back so to speak. Then other wonderful crafters started to emerge, Woolywumpus created the fabulous flyer above, and lo and behold here we are. A list of the creative people you will be seeing:

--- Woolywumpus with her scrummy needle felted jewelry --she will also have jewelry from Flick Glass
---KnitSonya with her colorful creative wooly art work
---Kira K with not only her patterns but also Kira caps & cowls
--- Nooshi---an ESL friend of mine who creates fabulous mosaics
---Fancy A Button---I think the name says it all
---Chabpt Road Designs---a friend of cocoknits. She makes fabulous pins and other mixed Media
---Girl on the Rocks--fun, interesting, and practical stitch markers
---Knitwhitswith her wonderfully whimsical knitting kits
---Almitas with her fun, funny, felted pigs and other wonders
---Monica with eye pillows filled with soothing aromatic herbs
---Becky, a friend of knitSonya's and creator of fabulous jewelry
