Well at last you get to see the shrug on Sister Sue and she also has hand knit socks from Grandma the YarnQueen. Uncle PBTB is alway juggling the kids, Big Brother likes it now but Sister Sue says bopit PBTB. She also will tell you all about it on the phone. Here they are showing off for you after church. Princess P and PBTB take these two to church almost every week.
This sweet lamb is Jael, and my sweet flock of royal children and grandchildren adopted her for me from the Schacht Fleece Farm. Can you think of anything more exciting, a real lamb to raise and then spin her fleece. Mandy Corry will be his shepherdess and keep me posted about Jaels growth and personality. I can hardly wait . She is an Icelandic lamb which will provide very soft and beautiful colored gray with black tipped fleece. To read more about my lamb and the program check out Schachtfleecefarm.com. Pretty amazing my kids and my new lamb.
Last Saturday i was able to attend a finishing technique class sponsered by the Wool Cabin, Rene Dickey from Seattle was the instructor. Knitsfinished.com What a very worth while class, i learned so much and feel like i have the ability to really improve my finishing knits. Rene is a darling young women and a great instructor.
I have been taged which i think is really neat, but i like the princess don’t have anyone to tag. Hey friends hint hint.. Here goes.
RULES
List 7 random things about yourself on your blog. Tag 7 others. Leave a comment on their blog to direct them to your site to the rules.
1. I have three insane dogs that are all different breeds, one is a terriorist terrior, the second is a psycotic border collie, and the third is a sheltie who loves everyone and especially loves to bark.
2. I have been married for 36 1/2 years, lived in one state, and 5 houses and 3 apartments in those years.
3. I am a certifiable pack rat and will have to move to declutter. Don’t hold your breath for the moving episode.
4. I have too many hobbies and consider myself a jane of almost all trades. I really love the the act of acquiring new projects and am not as good at getting them completed.
5. I could visit every yarn and fabric store in the United States and not be bored. A fact the King does not understand or participate in, much to my chagrin. We passed to cities with knitting stores on the way home from Seattle and he wouldn’t stop.
6. The only people i know that have a blog are related to me so i guess i wont tag them again. That would ear a tate them. He He He The King is wearing off on me.
7. I get the award for being the most flexable person my physical therapist knows. I want to know why i have a physical therapist? He’s really great but i still don’t like falling apart. Well that’s it.
The Queen Mother turned 80 quietly at home, (so she says ), she went to lunch with her group in St. George and partyed with her sister. We are having the big celebration at the YarnQueens house next month.
IKEA opened in Utah also. We will wait for a few weeks to make our trek there. 310,000 sq feet will take fortitude to conquer.
While at knitting today i found a gome convention going on and wanted to share with Gnome N Clayture, so that he will forgive me for leaving him shuttered up for so long. What do you think?
The Henry Gnomes invited him to come over tomorrow. Great Deal.
Most exciting is our Wednesday knitting group. These 3 young women have caught the insiration of knitting. One of the Royal Ladies (previously known as ma kettle) has patiently taught them to knit and now they soar, this was there first crochet project and they like knitting better for now. The bunnies are done. Hurray Hurray. They were supposed to be for Easter but proved to be a little trickier (sp is this a word) than first expected. The ladies over came and the Royal Lady is a success in her own right.
And last but not least i thought you would like to see the finished project that at first looked like a giant thong. See previous posts on knitting for explanation. I think my shrug turned out great, it’s from Knitter’s Fall 2003 edition. And many thanks to LYS Unraveled Sheep for tuning me into this pattern. We have had a fun day last week-end it was 90 and today we are trying to get up to 60, so how do you like spring in Utah. Good thing i have a shrug is all i can say.

I opened my camera bag today and Gnome was hopping mad.. I have no idea what he was saying due to the fact that it was all in gnomize, but i got the idea that it did sound like swearing along with a few other choice things like where have you been for 2 weeks and how can we have a trevel log when I’m zipped into a bag that never opens. We even have pictures that could be posted, but no we just leave them in limbo. Okay well i know i have been remise. I do have several reasons. One big one is the computers at our residence are not working, and now we have one working it just doesn’t happen to be mine, but the kings and every time i go to use his computer he decides we should do something. I’m on to him though. The second item the Queens Mother has been visiting so that makes computer 1 on 1 even harder without the Kings intervention. Third the last post i did dissappeared, that may have had something to do with the computer thing.
I will try to do better… but then again it is spring and the yard is calling. no no if you comment i will write, how’s that for a fair trade.
I hope you have been following the Duchesses and Princess P website while i have been playing hooky. You can almost always count on the Duchess to have current posts. But i am way behind and will try to catch you all up.
We are going back a month we are on the road to Seattle, can it almost be a month ago. The Days of our Lives or How the World Spins to Fast. No wonder i feel like i’m losing my grip.
This is the elementary school the King went to when living in Walla Walla, Washington. A few decades ago. Our first stop on the way to Seattle other than the mandatory pit stops for diet coke and to view the restrooms.
Dinner inside the Marcus Witman Hotel at the Marc. Delicious even if they let Gnomes in. Then to my chagrin we went walking, but i didn’t plan very well because the King was so excited to see his neighborhood we toured the school area and his old home and the park before checking out downtown and the knitting shop. Drats!! After dinner we strolled downtown and so i only got to window shop but great window displays at Knitochet, check out their website. Knitochet.com they are located in Walla Walla. Washington. After the Kings and my stroll we headed back the our hotel which was not to write home about. We had a great day and were ready to refuel for the next leg of the road trip.
Much to my amazment I find nothing on my latest post. Where or where did it go. Well no time to look for it and i think you will have to excuse me for another day. i do believe the Jazz are playing tonight and i have to lend my support. Princess i will get the apron posted soon, hopefully before i burn the dress. who was it that said sewing comes back to you just like riding a bike. Liar Liar pants on fire. Not only does it not come back it is twice as frustrating because i can’t remember what i know i should know. Lovely little sewing guides that deceive and show diagrams only a caveman could understand. (You know those ones on the Geico commercials). Well i trimmed the seam of collar band on dress and also placed a lovely hole in the collar band. ##*#…
Patched the d thing, after all it is a pioneer dress. You see i think i’m trekking this summer.
this post was about my wonderful visit with a friend from Alaska and the wedding of her daughter. Brides are always beautiful and Sara just radiated with happiness and beauty. I was so happy that i was able to be apart of her special day and visit with her sister, and her Mom’s sister and of course the friend for Alaska.
