Pardon me for knitting…In Hooter’s!!!

knittinpretty — Sun, 17 May 2009 16:52:16 +0000

Now, tell the truth! How many of you would be nice enough after a long hard day at work, to go with your husband and a bunch of rowdy men to Hooter’s for a wing party? I was the designated driver…who could argue with that? All in all…I had a pretty good time, although, I was stared at openly! I can’t believe nobody’s knitted at Hooter’s before…that’s what the manager said, anyway! I am going to start a poll! Who has knitted at Hooter’s before? I am anxiously awaiting your answer! I will give a prize to the first person who knits in Hooter’s and posts the picture!!! Make sure you send me your email info and your blog address, if you have one. I have to see the ‘proof in the pudding’, so to speak! Knitters Unite! We will not be put down!!! We WILL knit in public, wherever we PLEASE…yeah!!!

For the most accurate information so far regarding the latest media craze, the Swine Flu, go to the CDC – Centers for Disease Control, website.. .www.cdc.gov/swineflu/ there, you can find all the most up-to-date info to help you stay healthy, a plan in the event of a pandemic or an isolated case of the disease, and links to further your search for answers. I know this doesn’t concern knitting, but it concerns all of us right now! Stay healthy, friends!

Well, darn it…I have waited all this time for the grand opening of my LYS, and I missed it! I have a fractured tooth in a bridge that HURTS!!! The antibiotics haven’t kicked in yet, and the pain pills make me a zombie! I know it went well, though! The location is great…

For those of you who are beginning knitters, or who would just like to learn to knit, check out these two sites for free knitting instructions and patterns. They have everything you need to know to get started. As a beginning knitter, I wasted so much money buying knitting books, magazines, you name it! I was not ready for that kind of literature. If I had just known about sites like these, especially Amy’s Knitting Help at knittinghelp.com, I would have saved myself so much grief and learned to knit better and faster! Knitting Pattern Central is an online directory featuring thousands of links to free knitting patterns. Choose from 50+ categories, including clothing, hats, afghans, stuffed animals, toys, dishcloths, and much more. Begin browsing by category at the Free Knitting Pattern Directory or by keyword with Knitting Pattern Central’s Pattern Search. There are also free knitting tutorials available, too!

Take a look at the Knitting Instruction Directory providing links to illustrated knitting tutorials, and the growing list of unique Knitting Stitches.
They even have patterns making use of a combination of knitting and crochet; browse Knit and Crochet Combination Patterns.

Free pattern to download and knit for charity!
