Well, I missed writing any notes on last months podcast. But- here I am with April's!

Read or rather listened to "The Rest of Her Life" by Laura Moriarty, I liked it - I checked it out on the internet from my library...the greatest thing ever!!

Am currently listening to We need to Talk about Kevin by Lionel Rosenblat - not sure I like it yet

Ok, so I asked, have you ever gone to your knitting guild or a Fiber Festival and heard asomeone speak? Particularly a designer? Who...or is it whom did you hear speak and why did you like the talk...orn ot. Maybe it would be best to only answer positively in here and if you want to tell me about a talk you didn't like private message me in Ravelry ..I'm sheknits.

The newsletter will go out in the next few days announcing the early bird special for She-Knits Mystery #11, Maya - a lace and slip stitch small shawl...more like awesome scarf with cool beading.

Questions:
1. Do you like to knit designs for small shawls that are more complicated and require good attention, or do you like ones that are less complicated and interesting in shape or color blocking?
2. Do you have a bicycle -- in particular a hybrid, that you love? What is it??
3. What would you do if the situation I described, regarding a friend of one of your child claimed child abuse?

#112 She-Knits talks about jags.

jag ² (jg)

n.

1. Slang

a. A bout of drinking or drug use.

b. A period of overindulgence in an activity; a spree: a shopping jag; a crying jag. See Synonyms at binge.

2. A small load or portion.

I am talking about b.
I think I live a life full of jags however I am not sure I would call them OVER indulgent as that is a negative connotation. I believe in jags as a way of life!

#111 She-Knits is not so new however os so popular

IT's DONNA is on the New and Popular list---yipee!.
She-Knits Mystery 8 knitters are now working on Gwen.

Have you ever seen the Mermaid sweater? You can only by a whole kit, the pattern is not sold separately.

Thanks so much to those of you who have left comments in general and answers to my questions.

What did I ask this time?? I don't even remember....and don't even think for a second that i am going to listen to my own show to print out the questions!

#109 She-Knits adjusts.

Do you have a young adult child living farrrrr away from you? Did it take you a while to adjust...do you ever adjust?

Do you take knitting classes at your LYS? If so , what inspires you to take a class...is it a project based class or a technique class...or is it an ongoing weekly skill building class? What have been your positive class experiences, or what has been a bad experience and what would have made it better?

The Royal wedding cost $15,000,000...the Presidential Inaguration was $117,000,000. Is it me or is that ridunkculous?

Next to Normal is the fantastic musical I recently attended.
