Total Self Promotion!

Okay, if you all make it through the links, I’ll reward you with a picture of the kitten. Who still does not have a name. People are beginning to ask if I’ll be able to name babies, if I ever have one. :)

First, there are the Lucia’s Addict’s Choice Knit Blog Awards. You can nominate people. No one has nominated me. I mean, come on, who does pictures of stuffed animals better than I? No one, that is. It’s a small nitche, but I work it, dammit.

Second, you all must come meet me, Dee, Lynette, Laurel and many others at the Heartland Knitting Retreat this December. Laurel and I should hire ourselves out in exchange for alcohol and yarn - we are that entertaining.

Third, we need more patterns and essays for the Island of Misfit Patterns! I don’t care if you wrote them down on the back of a napkin. Send it in!

Okay, here’s a kitten picture for you. :)

Oh, and I’ll be at Stitches Midwest this Sunday morning. I won’t be buying anything. Much. I have the world’s smallest budget this year. Like, a 1.50, tops.

    He looks like a Bruno to me. Or maybe an Alfred.

    Awww, cute kitty! Did you spend more than $1.50 at Stitches :) I think if you move the decimal about three places to the right we’re at my total spend over the four days (no seriously, it’s not quite that bad.)

    I think I’m doing this “blog” thing right. Just had my hair cut by your Mom, and she gave me the really cool “sample”. I studied and studied it and can’t figure out HOW or WHERE you started, but I AM impressed with the pattern. Maybe if I get better at this blogging, I will put a picture of Phil’s Pig Out BBQ and start writing about what we’ve been doing. Meantime, I am enjoying your ramblings…….um…..writings……

    It was great to see you at Stitches. We miss you and Dee and look forward to chatting with you guys. Your kitty looks like my Taz. Maybe we can make a play date for cats! Your knitting looks awesome, BTW. Waaayyyy beyond my current abilities. Someday….
