Along with the other fascinating people. Are all knitters so interesting?<BR/><BR/>Was inspired by Joyce's cable-y forest-green gansey in real gansey wool (knit so tightly(!) she broke her needle). The 5-ply wool felt like nothing I've touched before. Have put aside the Rangely I bought while there and am ordering the real thing. Might finish in a couple of years but it will be worth it!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170039846161399651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562624095284408639.post-85056477355677076742007-05-20T19:28:00.000-06:002007-05-20T19:28:00.000-06:00Ahhhh, catharsis feels good, doesn't it?

But I do enjoy the process more than the product. Especially after coming back from that inspiring mini-camp. I'm still on a high over it!Sandra D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03639249673618319120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562624095284408639.post-10861976583075648712007-05-19T11:13:00.000-06:002007-05-19T11:13:00.000-06:00I second the motion to move in with Meg...or how a...I second the motion to move in with Meg...or how about with Amy? Yes! Another "ideas" person. I once was a marketing squid and developed new ideas for service products. It was so much fun to throw these ideas over the wall to the team who had to finish the project and actually implement it!! So Amy, where do we find knitters to finish those projects we design and start? <BR/>Terry - at anchor in Puerto Vallarta and waiting rather impatiently for camp 2.75Terry Sailingknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11958773891548687218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562624095284408639.post-85216710161756102242007-05-18T13:04:00.000-06:002007-05-18T13:04:00.000-06:00hey, you got me...i, too, love starting new things...hey, you got me...i, too, love starting new things, and have an uncountable # of ufo's...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562624095284408639.post-41554514850048406522007-05-18T10:10:00.000-06:002007-05-18T10:10:00.000-06:00A retired police officer!

Stuff that basically doesn't require finishing or sewing.<BR/><BR/>I might be able to finish an Adult Surprise Sweater. Forgot about that one. Or a Bog Jacket.

Once I got the feel for it. In fact, I had it at a work related meeting Wednesday and I was told that I was to teach a new knitter how to knit it at our fall conference. Unfortunately, it has to sit for a couple of weeks as I have two pairs of socks to start and finish for gifts.<BR/><BR/>Hugs.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562624095284408639.post-65469020072423580002007-05-17T22:47:00.000-06:002007-05-17T22:47:00.000-06:00ohhhh, baby....any wearing carhartts?ohhhh, baby....any wearing carhartts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4562624095284408639.post-65314665761855413332007-05-17T14:43:00.000-06:002007-05-17T14:43:00.000-06:00You know, we may have had a buddhist phone-sex ope...You know, we may have had a buddhist phone-sex operator, I didn't actually keep track.
