Time for the VRWKC weekend sit and....chat! That's it!

VRWKC ping!
(and I added someone to the list that didn't stay added...if you remember who it is, please let me know! My program crashed before I saved it!)
Thanks for the invitation, but I have to warn you. I may be the only person in the world that has ever been excommunicated from a quilt circle. No kidding.
What'd you do?
Yep, enquiring minds are now curious...
Here you go, Ma'.
Are crochet'ers welcome?
You know it...all needle and fiber arts are welcome!
We are the Right's answer to all those leftwing crafter's circles...
Was it me? (LOL!)
You're on now, for sure. I usually save as soon as I add...but I must not have last time...spank my hand!
A few years ago, I was invited to join the quilt circle by a woman who worked at a local convience store after she found out I loved quilting and knitting. I had a wonderful time that day--quilted all day, had lunch with the "girls." when I came home, I told my daughter how great it was, but not my usual day. "Gee," I said, " I didn't talk about politics, religion, mention any of my operations, or smoke a single cigarette." My daughter offered to cook supper and I asked why? she said, "Gee, Mom, sounds like you had a really $hitty day." Later, after all that "good behavior," I was uninvited. Seems I wasn't a member of the Soda Springs Baptist Church!!! All I can say is a pox on their church.
Shame on them! Some folks just don't know how to be friendly...
Those church people are sneaky! ;-)
(j/k)
But some of us church ladies are real nice....and always have an extra seat at the quilting table or the knitting circle or the crafting table....
I finished the sleeves on a sweater for daughter #3 so she could wear it to school this morning.
4 strands of yarn on size 17 needles, so it knits up in a blink on circular needles.
I'm starting one for daughter #2 this evening.
I made one for myself earlier this week on size 35 with 6 strands but have been wearing it as a vest because the DD's have been chanting make mine, make mine and so I haven't got my sleeves done yet.
I used two strands of a brushed mohair novelty yarn that's heathered purple and dark gray, a strand of Lambs Pride Charcoal, a strand of Muskoka Merino Purple and 2 strands of Kroy Sock yarn in varigated purple and blue and I'm really rather pleased with it.
Long E. Legs---liked your bio. Especially about the hats. Love hats, but since I'm almost Amish and live and work on a ranch, I don't have much of a place to wear them. solved the problem by making a hat for every job. I have a gardening hat covered with flowers, a chefs hat for cooking, and my favorite, a "chicken hat" for tending chickens. It finally became so outlandish with feathers, I'm almost embarased to wear it. I think it was the red octrich feathers that put it over the edge.
Wow! I'd like to see that one!
I'm only teasing; It's just the mean ones who are remembered the longest...
Where do you get the yarns you mention? Have a link or name of mail order company? I'm really into natural fibers, but too far to purchase them often. Thinking of getting a couple of Ramboulet sheep and doing my own, but a lot of work.
Hats are wonderful. I wish I had more. I wear them too! Make them sometimes, mostly by crochet and knitting.
I have the opposite problems of Long Elegant Legs - finding petites in my size! 62 and 1/2 inches, and stout. Definitely a problem.
