knitting block

Spike Driver spun a FINE 'yarn':

Spike Driver. . ./ Dennis (and Gail)

I don't normally GET knitting or any crafting 'blocks', but THIS summer I've been too busy to work on the stuff I've got as WIP's and UFO's. I WILL knit this saturday tho, it's WWKIP day, the third annual! Noreen

Permission granted to GO FISHING!!!!!! GO!!! Catch me some Lake Perch!! Gawd I miss it!

I've been a little knitting blocked for the past couple of weeks. My partner is in the hospital and I find that knitting actually requires more concentration than I have to give right now. So I'm back to stitching barrettes on perforated plastic with beautiful variegated thread. I've finished at least 6 so far...

Who wants a lap full of wool in the summer?

If the Knitting Fairy had wanted you to knit year round, she would have arranged for you to be a light house keeper in Alaska or have you running a weather station in the Orkneys : )

You will get out the wool again when the snow flies.

Hi Dennis,

I went through this a couple of months ago. I had had so many new babies to knit for for so long that when I got to the end of the line I didn't have any idea what direction to head in next! Instead of knitting I started taking out lots of knitting books from the library and taking pictures of the projects I would like to do "some day" with my digital camera. I don't know what finally jumpstarted the knitting urge but I have been going gangbusters since it came back!

Enjoy your fishing and gardening! It is always good to spend time outdoors when the weather is nice :)

Maybe I will have save some walleye in the freezer! :)

Alison, I just put took Gail to the Emergency Room tonight, she is on bad shape. When you life parter is gone you become very disorientated for a while. If you have an extra prayer please send one this way. Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Thanks Aron, I always enjoy hearing from you.

Friends for sure, Dennis

Laura, Thanks for the fantastic idea, I am kind of a camera nut. Taking pictures out of the books of the projects you want. You know what I will be doing. Our closest knit shop in DeKalb, IL has a great library. Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Dennis, I am so sorry to read that Gail is in the hospital. I will say a prayer for her recovery, and one for your peace of mind.

Thank you so much Gem!!!!!!
