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 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!

Knit Boot Pattern

How is everyone doing with the boot kit pattern? I know many of you are working on the boots so I would like to give some pointers to make the knitting supper easy especially for the new knitters using the board for the first time.

The pattern begins with the Ribbing stitch. Here is short video that goes over this stitch.

Make photo slide shows at www.OneTrueMedia.com

I put together a brief “How-To add stitches” with photos to explain how to add stitches to each side of your knitting. The pattern requires depending on size,to add 8 or 9 stitches to each side. Take a look at this link, it might be helpful.

Adding Stitches

If you have any other questions on making your boots feel free to ask in ” Comments.” We are here to help.

Good Luck  and enjoy your cozy boots!

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
