#81 Another camp visit and the fun of designing

She-Knits Small Tlak Podcast #81 - have a listen on i-tunes or HERE

Summary
I wonder how much of my life I spend saying "I can't believe....." Well, often the times i say this are when repeating something I have done multiple times before and then find myself there again. Like now, I can't believe we have been through another summer camp visit and that it is over.

Designing is beyond fun. Fun sounds like such a trite word for one my most passionate experiences in my life however there is so much fun invloved I wanted to share a little of it.

Here is my Laporte Avenue Bag in the upcoming Interweae Knits Fall '09 - howdoyoulikemenow? ;)

Check out Gundrun Johstons's Aestlight Shawl...I bought the pattern, and I rarely buy patterns or do shawls. I may very likely never do this one either, but at least I have it just in case!

#80 She-Knits - On the road again andMystery KAL 1 and announcing Mystery KAL #2!

On the road to Wisconsin, knitting away -listeing to the end of Wally Lamb's The Moment I first believed and starting The Tortilla Curtin.
Can I just say it was 5 hours of bliss driving to Wisconsin...and believe it or not, it really was bliss even with the seven year old in the car!
SO what are your postivie and negative memories about going to overnight camp or maybe your first experiences being away from home. I was never very good at it or interested in it, but I did it
I would love to read your comments!

She-Knits Mystery KAL is coming to end ....sniff....it has been amazing and wonderful and I know so many of you shared that you learned so much...which is FANTASTIC.
I too learned so much....not about knitting , but about how to make the KAL better and better.
You can sign up for the 2nd Mystery KAL until August 23.

You can listen to She-Knits Small Talk Podcast #80 HERE or go to to She-Knits on i-Tunes.

Holey Moley, talk about some good clean fun. Do you know about the She-Knits Mystery KAL's
No bad language (maybe a little innuendo), no calories, you may very likey learn a new skill or two o it is good very your knitterly knowledge, or at a minimum you will definitely have fun.
These are the greatest thing EVA! To see what went on with She-knits first and second Mystery's check out the companion groups HERE and HERE to get a sense of what they are about.

They take place within Ravelry. The first one was completed in the Summer of '09, and is called Mystery Emma. The pattern is now for sale HERE in Ravelry or HERE in my Etsy shop. There is also a complete kit available that includes the pattern for free HERE.
