Crash Again
WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG FOR A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
We've been offered a bid, we countered, they accepted, we are calling the attorney. We may be moved by Feb.and now back to our previously scheduled blog
Yesterday I fell down the stairs. Not far, just a step or two, but enough to twist my ankle and hurt my - pride. My pride especially hurts when I sit down. At least, though, some lovely silk blend yarn arrived from La Lana Wools for a project I'm doing for Interweave, and that makes the sitting easier to bear...
It was one of those moments so painful that you want to cry and laugh and are nauseus all at the same time - ick. The worst part was that someone was on their way over to see the house, so I had to go lie down in my room for a few minutes, stuff a sock in my mouth and flee so that the house would be empty of crying women as the prospectives walked through. Two more couples looked at the house today, so cross your fingers!
One day later, still a little swollen, pride is still a little sore, but I'm obviously on the mend and getting better every hour.
LOOP
This weekend I'll be limping down to Philadelphia to teach at Loop - one of the nicest shops around - and it's always a great day when I get to spend time with Craig and his terrific staff. Then I have a nice, long break over the holiday when I get my samples ready for Knitty Gritty and the sample bag set up for the classes I'm teaching in Tulsa. The shop I'll be at in Tulsa is Loops, so on my calendar I have Loop - Loops and you can imagine how I keep getting them confused!
KNITTY GRITTY
The project I'm doing on Knitty Gritty is the Rasta Hat & Rasta Doggie Sweater from Men Who Knit. Yes, the one that's on the cover - PULL THE HAT DOWN! - it's a different version of the one that's in Confessions, but it's such a cute pattern - and such a fun technique - that I wanted to include it in Men Who Knit.
KNIT A BIT
Before going to Philly, though, I'll be close to home in Westfield, NJ to sign books at Knit A Bit on Saturday! I don't do a lot of NJ engagements - perhaps when we move I'll be more exoticly Midwestern and highly in demand - so if you're around please come by and say, "HI!"

*ouch* Hope your pride is feeling better:)
I just wanted to drop by and say that I really admire your work.
Sorry to hear about your ankle. I did the same thing back in August and it took a little over 2 months for it to heal back to normal.
Congrats on the house, though! :)
Ouch! But yay!
That is so exciting about the house offer! I hope it all works out for you all. Sorry about the fall, but glad that you're okay.
Congrats on the house offer :)
hope all i well with your pride & joy, lol. congrats on the house selling. if you're going to be in minnesota, does that mean you're going to be doing more classes out this way? like des moines? sioux city? omaha, even? please? (forgive the pleading note in my voice, now that i'm not working, NOBODY comes out this way!)
Yay! (At the new news, not that you fell). Congratulations! I hope it all goes smoothly. So very exciting! :)
YAY!!!! I hope it all goes smoothly!!! Doing a little dance for you!!
mazel tov on selling the house!
sorry I won't be able to make your appearance at loop this weekend. but here's a big philly YO and (((((hugs))))) from me to you.
have a happy thanksgiving!
Oh, congratulations on the sale. I'm so glad for you.
Gillian
Congratulations! You'll *love* the Twin Cities so much. And the kids will have so much fun - you *must* take them to Circus Juventas!
Cher
Yeah! Congrats on the offer. I hope your ankle (and your pride) feel better soon.
Congrats on the house offer. Here's hoping everything goes smoothly and without a hitch.
When will you be in LA for KG. I'll be on set on the 7th and 8th. It'd be great to see you there.
Oh and if your pride's misery appreciates company, I was once at a boyfriend's house (this is probably a good 10 years ago) I was using his bathroom and as I was leaving I actually opened the bathroom door into my forehead. That's right, no one else anywhere near the door, I was distracted by who-knows-what and I just opened the door and slammed it into, of all places, my forehead. So not only was the pain that same sickly icky shock of pain, it did actually cause my eyes to well up AND I got a nice little goose egg on my head, so I couldn't even pretend it didn't happen.
Ouch! I've been there (on my bum) and it hurts so much. Congrats on the house progress, and the lovely silk yarn. Silk makes most things better, I find..
That's absolutely fantastic news on the house! I'm sure you are running in ten thousand directions now. But I hope you can take a moment to enjoy it. Your family's new chapter is going to be so exciting, congradulations!
Yay for the house! I hope that you find something that is just right in the Twin Cities. Also, moving to Minnesota in February is better, I think, than January. It is bitterly cold, generally, in January, while February is more snowy. When you drive out there though, make sure that you leave plenty of extra time in case of bad weather, at least a day or two before you have anything planned. Circling the Great Lakes causes much to be uncertain in the snowy part of the year.

hi annie,all :)
take a peek at this gem :)

Congrats on the house...and be prepared for multicolored toes, a sometimes-side-effect from a sprained ankle!
Hi, Annie! So glad to hear that you're on your way to Minnesota! We'll save a seat for you at the worktable (as I recall, you had a strange affinity for the one someone had set so it was really squatty and close to the ground). Please keep me in the loop (uh-oh! another loop/Loops/Loop), and we'll have a "Welcome, Annie" party at the shop when you're all moved in, complete with good food, cheer, and good friends. Congratulations!
I'm intrigued by your video. But a "pause" option would be greatly helpful (maybe that's not available) -- just saying. My fingers are old so it's a great help to see what is happening. I'm such a slow knitter it is discouraging. I could never do this by reading text so having the video is a big help. I'm going to keep trying!
Thanks much for posting this.
Marcia
