New Prague

The Knitting Lounge in New Prague - isn't that the cutest setee? Mary borrowed it to me for the shop. Most of the furniture I'm using for display is also for sale. We will continue to add pieces as they sell. Great Idea from these talented women that run the Mosaic Alley.

I have had great response in NP so far. Have a great schedule laid out but it seems most people just want to learn how to knit so far. This has peaked some interest - designer felted balls!

The weather has turned in our favor. Great knitting weather is upon us, plus the state fair. Another bit of good news is Schumacher Inn in NP is reopening. A little more casual but great food, plus he will have 5 rooms available if you want to stay in town. More on this later.

I am working on a mobius wrap. If you've never tried this before I think you should. It's not that difficult and very fun and fast to knit. Kat Bordhi has a tutorial cast-on on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVnTda7F2V4. Makes it very simple and once you're on the needles you just fly. The one pattern I'm working on is Harmonia's Rings Cowl by Sivia Harding. http://www.siviaharding.com/ I have them for sale if you are interested in purchasing. Another one on Ravelry is the Easy Mobius Capelet by Haley Waxberg, it's free. Drops Design has a very sexy looking one is Alpaca that is also free on their website. Moebius Shawl in Alpaca and Vivaldi. It's also free.

Have fun and let me know if you finish one, I'll post some photos on the website.

I'm also working up a scarf in Elsbeth Lavold's wool silk which is a quick knit, light weight scarf. Photo when I get a little more done.

If I only had six hands I could get alot more knitting done. This time of year, I go crazy trying to decide what samples I want for the shop, what I want to knit for the Grandchildren, etc.
Speaking of which, I babysat last night. We had such a great time, riding bikes, drawing on the easel, eating snacks and watching "Dora" before bed. Everyone got a bath, and were put happily into their little beds.

Suddenly, I get this feeling. It feels like a urinary problem, if you know what I mean. I called Nicole to come home because I know this malady progresses quickly and Urgent Care closes at 10 pm. They got home at 9:45 - the URgent Care was just at St. Francis so I ran in there and this wonderful woman rushed me thru so I could make it into UC before they closed. She also was surprised at the big number I had entered under AGE! She even took a double take. What a compliment if I wasn't in such duress.

So, I finally got the results about 11 pm, now where do I get the prescription filled because this is what I really came for. Well, it's one of those machines in the Lobby. Yes, thank you. Feeling a little better today.

out to enjoy the outdoors!
