Out of Town

Stashalongers: there will not be a post this Tuesday and you have my deepest apologies for that. My Grandfather passed away this morning and I need to get to NY. Everything should be back to normal for our Week 13 of 13 post on the 28th :) I know a few of you have jumped off the wagon and I'll have all that in my post next time.

Thanks again for all your prayers and well wishes--he passed peacefully in his sleep and I think that's the best way to go.

If there is a lighter side to this, my husband will be alone with my kiddos for more than 12 hours for the first time. You have no idea how badly I want to hide cameras around the house to see what goes on.

Happy knitting everyone--no jumping off the wagon while I'm gone!

Stacey and Cynthia--my gushing post about your very generous and much appreciated gifts will be up before I go--hopefully! If not then it will be up as soon as I get back :)

my thoughts are with you and yours during this sad time... and happy that his end was relatively quick and hopefully painless. May your husband forever grovel at your feet in appreciation as he realizes how tough it is to keep up with little Diva and Little Rage!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. I'm glad, though, that he didn't linger indefinitely, and that the end was peaceful. Hugs to you and your family.

P.S. I'd love to see those videos of your DH alone with the kids! LOL

Stashalong--Sign ups end Jan.1

Sign ups have ended. EDIT: Sign ups end January 1 at 5pm Mountain time. Anyone interested in using some of your stash in order to make room for some new spring stuff? Join me in a very informal knitalong. Here are the rules: (1) Must start and try to finish something from your stash yarn(I say "try" to finish because if you pick something huge like an afghan or sweater finishing in three months may not be realistic). (2) You have 3 months and during that time you cannot add to your stash in any way(things ordered before January 1 but not yet delivered do not count--hence the early warning--get it out of your systems, ladies). Of course realistically there is no way to police this, so the honor system is in place. (3) I am beginning on January 1, 2006 and ending March 31, 2006(if there is interest, I'd be glad to start another one after that). (4) Keep me posted on your progress and I will post it once a week--probably Mondays or Tuesdays. I've never attempted to s...
