Pretty super-I have a new granddaughter born on 8-07-08.   She has all her fingers and toes and is just BEAUTIFUL!!!!!   So, I have been in Florida for the last 4 days trying hard to ‘peel’ her away from the new mommy and daddy whenever I could.   Her name is Jaedyn Michelle and even tho she was 3 weeks early, she weighed a whopping 7 lb 13oz.   She is dealing with a touch of Jaundice right now, but she is a pretty little lady and doing a great job (mommy and daddy are holding up well also.)   Even her auntie, Kim, was able to be there with us all.   It was a glorious few days.

So now you know why things are a bit sluggish from here.   I do have the Jasper Jacket ready for some size large and X-lge knitters to test for me.   Several of you were waiting for it (delays again), but please email me at pat@knittingboard.com and let me know you will have time to test it out.

So, hang in there.   I will post some photos of Jaedyn as soon as I get them downloaded from the camera.   I will also be continuing her new blanket and will share that pattern with you also.

More later, Grandma, Pat

Yes, watch your email to get the details.    Our next newsletter will share a  great Special for our new Needle Covers.   Now, you can have a needle cover for all your knitting boards.  Check it out.   If you have not submitted your email, there is still time to get this announcement.   Just register on the homepage for the free pattern library.   Happy Knitting, Pat

Hi, we just shipped out all the the backordered 18″ knitting boards.   They are really pretty.   Thanks to all who were waiting for them.   We also just returned from a 7 day vacation with no knitting or computers.   But we were in beautiful Alaska.   I will be putting up some photos soon.   thanks for all your patience.   Pat

We have moved!! Our new office and warehouse is located in Fork Union, VA. This move allows us to spread out and hopefully, be more efficient. Yeaaaaa! We will be physically moving everything on April 14 thru 17. Lots of work cleaning and painting the place, but it will be worth all the effort.

We can still be reached at the usual toll free number of 888-720-2322 or our new office number of 434-842-1180. We will pass on the new fax number once it is available.

Our new address is: 60 Carysbrook Rd, Fork Union, VA 23055.

If you send anything to the current address of: 7 Monish Dr, Palmyra, VA 22963–no problem–we will still maintain that address as well. Once our signs are up and we are settled in, we will take some photos for everyone and be starting some local knitting board classes. Just email me if you are in this area and will be interested in joining this group. Pat

Hi Everyone,

All of us here at Knittingboard have been really busy getting things ready to attend the Big CHA Craft and Hobby Show in CA.   It starts on Feb 10 but we will leave VA on Feb 8 to get ready.   We have some new items to debut there at the show.   Once we return on Feb 15, we’ll be ready to share them with everyone here.   So, during this time, we will not be mailing orders or responding to emails.   I hope everyone will jump in and dig around to help everyone else with questions and solutions.   If you live in that corner of the country, we would just love to chat with you at our booth.   It’s numer 2345.   Hope to see some of you there.   Pat and Kim

Winter is approaching and some of our knitting board knitters have really jumped in with their knitted squares.   We have 2 new blankets.   The first one was knit by Laura Carlos of Neptune, NJ.   Some really pretty designs, stitches, and unusual yarns.   Thank you so much, Laura, for your time, caring and thoughtfulness.   Also thank you, Sue Kreitzer, for all your time and dedication of  sewing these blankets together for us.   We will let you all know where these blankets will be sent.
