Plastic needles for the #5 & #6 weight yarn.

I was in WalMart yesterday and they had the plastic needles with the large
eyes.  This is the first time I found these meedles and I have been looking
each time I go in there.

They even had a super large one that had 2 needles in the package and the
needle I had picked up at AC Moore's they had 4 of these in a package.  I
don't remember the price but it was like $2 or $3.

Hello All:

During Tuesday night's class we were discussing where to get extra loom
tools and needles.  I just found the tools on Horizons catalog and a couple
needles that I think might be what we are looking for.

Here is the information; I copied and pasted it from the catalog.

KNIFTY KNITTER LOOM HOOK: W3702003001; $1.20

Yarn Needles, 13-152: W7505; $.89

Yarn Needles, 16-161: W7506; $.89

Does anyone know if these are the plastic kind we use with the looms?

Now I'm not sure who first told me about Horizons for the Blind, but it is
getting me into lots of trouble!  I've already orders several books and am
getting ready to order a flower loom, the hook, the needles and a couple
more books.  I sure hope nobody tells me about more websites with things I
think I need on them. Lol

Nella

gardening. Tonight's chat

Hi Y'all,

Did anyone listen to the Hadley seminar today, Eat Your Veggies?  I did and
it was really good.  Ed Haynes (not sure if that's the right spelling)
talked about container gardening and told about 2 types of plants, along
with some others, that are grown in the Mediterranean that are pretty easy
to grow: cima di rapa a type of green that matures in 25 days and a type of
kale.  The seminar will be up on the Hadley site in a few days and they will
have a list of resources.  Ed said he will post where to get the seeds for
these plants.  The rest of the seminar was about how to prepare vegetables
and then about being vegetarian.  There was a different Hadley instructor
for these two areas.  It was really good, especially about the container
gardening.

 Sophie is sort of like
 that!
 She knows when it is time for her
 Mommy to come home.  I think she listens for the Metro  Access van to pull
up and then she comes to greet me at the  door!
 I love to play ball with her, in the
 apartment.  I have to use my walker to walk with Henry and
 4 paw drive, when we take walks together.  She always likes  to take the
lead.  It is hard for me to take the lead, when  I am trying to teach Henry
a new path.
 I
 call Sophie our challenger dog, because she makes me  walk  around her or
step over her.  I sure am glad she is  black!  I wonder if she understands
that I can not see  well, too.
 I can handle her on leash with or
 with out my walker, until my sister pulls up.  Then she  goes crazy.  She
wants to go and visit my sister's  dog.  She seams to understand me using
the walker, because  her previous mommy used a wheel chair.  I  love my
baby, even though she is afraid of thunder!

 Henry:
 
 No, Hank is a mixed breed that I adopted from  the humane society.  He
weighs about 40 pounds and has very  short hair.  His markings are something
like a Collie.  He  has a docked tail and ears that stand up part way and
then  flop over.  Everyone seems to think he is some type of  terrier mix.
He has a lot of energy and personality.  He  can be very stubborn, was hard
to train, but he is very  sweet.  He loves everyone except squirrels and any
other  critter that doesn't belong here.  Hank is very  athletic, can jump
very high and will even try climbing  trees when after a squirrel. lol
 
 He can be grumpy with other dogs.  I have a  pet GSD that he is friends
with.
 He is also
 weird with cats; I have house cats that he likes, but a  stray cat better
not get in the yard.  He is very observant  and watches everything.
 He lets me know when
 something isn't right around here.
 
 Besides me my Dad is his favorite person in the  world.  Dad lets Hank
squish into the recliner with him.  It is pretty funny.  Hank knows the
sound of Dad's  truck and goes nuts as soon as Dad pulls in the the drive.
He is almost uncontrollable until Dad gets in the door and  says hi to him.
 
 Hank is a
 special dog and it takes a special person to love him.
 Lol
 
 Oh, and Hank says to
 tell you he is top dog!

 They are quite cute; I have to
 families of red squirrels living in the yard.
 
 They love to torment my poor
 dog Hank.  He thinks he's supposed to be a  squirrel dog and spends his
life dashing around  after them.  They get real  close to him,  taunting him
and then dash up a tree.  Hank is one  frustrated  pup!

 When my x was still
 around, he used to fead the squerls and they would come  right to the patio
door.  Once, one got in the  apartment and we did not know  it and he ate
up all our house plants.  It was not easy to get him  out.
 They like to hide!
 We
 sure were lucky we were not bitten!
 
 Terry P.
 I will say, it was
 cute seeing them come up to the door, for their peanuts!

 Now, can't you just see Jill with her her  hands around the neck of a
squirrel  ,  shaking him & saying, "That'll teach you to get  my tomatoes!
 Now you must die!!!!"
 
 Hahaha
