You are all too kind
November 10th, 2006 by Wen
Thanks everyone who stopped by from JenLa to say Hi and to wish me a fast recovery! I am feeling a bit better, though I just woke up and I have to go and work a 13 hour day (we tape the live show tonight and I really do need to be there for that) But then it’s 3 days off of me resting and knitting. Woo!
One of the coolest things about having this contest is getting to go over to everyone’s blogs that commented and “meeting” some new people! I haven’t been to all of them yet, but when I do I will say hey. Y’all are some talented, funny, smart women!
I’ll draw for the winner on Sunday around 3pm PST, so you can comment right up until then. There will be some other stuff besides the Habu yarn, but it’s a secret for now.
I don’t usually join contests myself. Probably because I am lazy, but I did take a photo of my November calendar for ChappysMom’s birthday contest.
One of the makeup artists on “Close to Home” gave it to me last year. All the photos were from the “film noir” category. Too bad I didn’t have last years calendar this year…it had a different “pedigreed” or “fancy” chicken for each month. Those chickens were hilarious. Mmmmm…chicken.
Not much content today- I haven’t knitted on the hat since I last took a photo. I emailed Village Spinning and they don’t have any more of that yarn left. That’s the first time in my knitting life that I didn’t buy enough of a yarn that I liked. No matter, I’ll just get a different color. I did laugh at his email though. He suggested that I “drop by from time to time” to check of what colorways were in his shop. Solvang is a 3 hour drive from L.A. One way. Dude, there will be no “dropping by”. I can barely be bothered to drive 3 miles in traffic to try and find parking to shop at my LYS.
All right everyone, drop by Sunday to find out who won…
That is so cool! I don’t have a calendar, now I’m compelled to go out and buy one. Anyone up for seeing my Harry Potter calendar?
Thank you for the calendar! And I hope you’re feeling better . . . it’s just in the last two days that I’m feeling like myself again, even if I do still have a cough….
Your calendar is way cooler than mine. Maybe I’ll make a calendar for next year, I know there are programs for that kind of thing. Yeah, I went to Village once with Wendy from Spaazlicious and it’s great little store, but from L.A.–it’s reserved for a special trip, let’s just say. They’re at every fiber festival west of the rockies it seems like so I think I saw them more in that capacity than as an LYS.
Heh…and I complain about having to drive 20+ minutes to my LYSes…three hours is downright silly.
Oops, I meant to add that I have some of that yarn from Village and would be more than happy to send it to you. It’s been in the stash a good long while now, so send me your snail mail and it’ll get a new chance to really be something.
Pedigreed chickens, eh?
Neat calendar! Glad you are feeling better.
Wen, I have a little of that yarn left over. How much do you need?
OH, and a drive to Solvang? I’d be up for that road trip!
I’m not usually one for entering contests, but DUDE, stainless steel yarn?? That shit is b-a-n-a-n-a-s. Sorry, I heard that song this morning somewhere and now it will be in my head for a week. Stupid song.
hi from OZtralia. Found you through the comments on Deb’s Calendar contest!
