I made plans with a friend to go to Craft Bar last Thursday.  In between making plans to go and the big night, I got an email from a wonderful woman with the Museum because she saw my post about Open Source Embroidery.  She thanked me for my post invited me to Craft Bar.  And I said, "Oh, yeah, I'll be there!"

I don't feel like taking the time to actually submit it to fail blog.  No one but us would probably get it anyway ... right? ;)

Wow!  Thanks for all the owl links in the comments of my last post!  It's a smart suggestion that I start out with something small like a hat, mittens, or a scarf before I try a sweater (oh, here's the link to the owl sweater pdf if you want it).

I like to ponder things for a while before jumping in, so knitting probably won't happen for me for a while.  In fact, because of the challenge, it'll probably be 2010 before I pick up the pointy sticks, because I'll need to buy some.

I've been feeling the pull to start knitting.

And then Strawberry emailed me a link to this owl sweater.   Oh, man.  The button eyes just kill me.  I've saved the free pdf pattern for my knitting future ...

** Edit: you can find the pattern here **
