The Tricks and Treats for Knitting!

This is SuKnitWitty's Trick or Treat Bag!
It's the size of a large paper bag like the ones they use to sack your groceries in a the grocery store. It has handles and opens up to hold lots and lots of...










These goodies from the
Wool N Cotton Shop!

Have you ever wondered about the Halloween slogan 'Trick or Treat'? Is it a question or a statement? Why would anybody ask to be Tricked when they are obviously looking for a Treat? I really think the Halloween Slogan Gurus just got their T's backwards. 'Treat or Trick' works...or...'Treats or Treats' works even better. Whatever! I'm Treat-N-Myself to some Knittin Stuff like...


This is what I call a Treat! Although, it does have it's share of TRICKS...for knitting up some fabulous Christmas gifts. There's Hats, Scarves, Sweaters, Gloves, Mitts and Socks and Socks and Socks. Yep, there's the SSS again...SecondSockSyndrome.

The Knitting Wizzardess...SusanB-Knits...discovered these NiftyNeedles for knitting socks and gloves. So, I'm thinkin, two points outta be a whole lot better than 4-5 Double Pointed Needles which adds up to 8-10 points and a SockInProgress that looks like a Voodoo Thingy. So, if one HiyaHiya Circular Socker works, then Two HiyaHiya's just might be the cure for my SSS. Yep, I could knit the cuff on one, then knit the cuff on two, then back to one for the heel flap, then over to two for....get the picture? I'm pretty pumped about this Second Sock Solution. If it doesn't work out, I'm surely headed for SecondSockSyndrome ReHab and a drawer full of SingleSocks.

Tea-rrific Trio and 'Pretty Knits'...SuKnitWitty KnitsAgain!

'Sheep Happened' at SuKnitWitty's 45th Reunion.
Yep, once your Hooked on Knitting, it PopsUp everywhere you go.
These KeyRingSheep were part of the Chamber Packet given to the 65'ers.
I even talked a little Knitting and Crocheting with classmates.
Glenda told me about a KnitShop in Lancaster, Texas, and said she was going to take Knitting Classes.
DeAnn's daughter is a Crochet Designer, so we talked about that and some of the patterns she has designed.

Now that the Reunion is over, I can get back to Knitting! Pretty Knits by Susan Cropper, who owns the knit shop 'Loop In London', was a gift from Susan-B. The Wednesday Knit Trio met briefly last Wednesday, and Susan, Gina and I talked knitting, had a dessert dish prepared by 'Julia'Susan and reviewed several Knitting magazines and books...including this one.

'Anisette' Wrap is the very first pattern I want to make from 'Pretty Knits. Gina gave me the perfect yarn several months ago. I can't wait to start...really should finish the sweater first, and probably the 'Sock' and for sure the scarf. We'll see!



And, just so I don't run out of Knitting WannaDo's, here's two more! Thanks Susan-B for this book of 'Pretty Knits', and Thanks Gina for the gorgeous yarn for the Shawl.
Ya'll are Tea-rrific!

ShowTime....45th Reunion MHS Class of 1965

Here's Marilyn and Elvis! Yep, they are ready and waiting for 'BuddyPictures'! We may have to get Marilyn a Lobo Jacket, and 'How Bout That Chevy?' Our DecoCommitte ChairWoman and Class Artist Beverly Rowin Hartman brings back memories of 'Sneaking In the Lobo Drive Inn'.
