>> Ohio,
>> I will be teaching a Knifty Knitter Snowman class soon.  We are working
>> out he dates right now.
>>
>> If you and others (Terry here you go!) want to get your supplies for the
>> class you will need the 24 peg blue KK loom.  We will use two strands of
>> white yarn,  a second color for the scarf and hat, fiberfill, small black
>> buttons for eyes and mouth (you could also use black pipe cleaners),
>> something to make an i-chord with.
>>
>> Stay tuned for the class to be listed.

>> Hello all,
>>

>> I
>> am able to report to you that I sold "everything" yes you read that
>> correctly, everything I made and contributed to the garden clubs sale. 
>> two
>> crocheted cupcakes, two crocheted baby blankets, one lapghan, and one
>> Xmas
>> treat bag with holly with berries sticking out of the top of it. I am so
>> very pleased!
>>
>> Of course now I am more enthusiastic than ever to delve in to more craft
>> making.
>>
>> I really am enjoying the safety pin beading class Theresa is teaching to
>> make a lighted Xmas tree. I will certainly be taking the lighted beaded
>> snowman class planned for in January. Meanwhile, without a KK loom class
>> being offered in the near future I am branching out on my own to make a
>> scarf and slippers. I already made a hat on my own that came out
>> wonderfully. Then, in the crochet arena I am starting a new baby blanket
>> since I've sold all of mine. Have an interesting, but easy pattern to 
>> try.
>> The blanket will be lavender with cream edging.
>>
>> So that's the story here in windy chilly Ohio.

>> Hi All,
>>
>>
>>
>> Just wanted to share with all of you that I am donating my knitted 
>> holiday
>> treat bag and my two crocheted cupcakes to my garden club's herb, craft
>> and
>> bake sale on Election day. My treat bag is cream and red and will have
>> some
>> holly sticking out of the top of it. the cupcakes are one with white cake
>> and chocolate icing and the other with chocolate cake and white icing, 
>> and
>> both have a wooden red bead cherry on top plus a decorative pattern of
>> small
>> pins of multicolor. I will ask three or four dollars for each and see if
>> they sell. I think the bag turned out the best, and the vanilla cupcake
>> turned out better than the chocolate one, because I did a better job of
>> shaping it. so anyway, I'll let you know if anything sells. Oh yes, I 
>> will
>> also have my crocheted baby blankets there too, but I didn't make them
>> from
