Knitting Board Classes in Houston

Hi Everyone,

   We just returned from Houston,   TX where we had a few Knitting Board classes for Hobby Lobby employees. We had a lot of fun.    We even got the Manager, Jimmy, at the Webster, TX store knitting too.

We had brought along a sample of the Homespun afghan to the class. I  think there are going to be a few Texans receiving  cozy  Afghans this Christmas.

I have to thank  the West Houston, Webster, and the Stafford stores for  making us feel so welcome and making our visit here so wonderful. Here are a couple photos of our classes in Webster(above) and West Houston (below), TX……

Knitting Board Demonstration at Hobby Lobby

Hello All,

We just got back from the Dallas area where we had a few knitting board demonstrations at the Hobby Lobby stores. They went really well. People were amazed at all that  can be made on the knitting boards…..especially the afghans. Here are a couple photos of the event.

  Hi Katy,

  We had a great demonstration at your store!! I wish you had been there. Thanks for setting up the rain check notebook, it was really needed.

  Jeannette,
  Where north of Dallas do you live? I am 10 miles north of Denton. I was at the Denton location when Kim was there. Look forward in hearing from you.

Hi Everyone,

I would like to announce that we are having an afghan contest going through the end of Novemeber. This contest is for seasoned knittingboarders as well as beginners. If you have just started knitting on the board you can enter too.  Afghans are great projects for the knitting board. Just think, you can have your new afghan just in time for Christmas!

How does it feel to be a grandma?

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
