Nittany Knits: November 2006
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 30, 2006. After an emotion roller coaster week, my knitting has once again become my calming influence. And the good news is that it is my Falling Leaves Shawl that is bringing the peace. How could I have put it down for a second? Enough of this blogging, I must return to my shawl before I forsake it again. PS- If anyone out there knows who makes the FABU knitting bag that Sookie was sporting at the Stars Hollow Knit-A-Thon, please, please, please let me know! Tuesday, November 28, 2006.

Nittany Knits: December 2006
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 31, 2006. The men in my life can be taught! First, my father got me a project bag for my knitting that boasts on the tag that it can hold up to eight bottles of wine! Wow I think that says it all. Then I got yarn from my son for my Birthday. OK, so it was Homespun from Michael's, but he MADE his father go out and get me yarn. He is going to make such a great husband! I'm telling you now ladies, he'll be eleven next month and he will make you a FABULOUS son-in-law. Get in line now! Now to...

Nittany Knits: February 2007
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28, 2007. A lovely new gal joined us on Thursday night for sit 'n knit. When she was showing us what she was working on, I fell in love with the 'Calorimetry' from Knitty she was knitting with Patons Soy Wool Stripes. I of course had some sitting in my stash, so while I was in Pittsburgh I whipped one up, and here it is! The button is the antler button that I purchased while I was there. I actually bought three different sizes of buttons since I didn't know what size I would need.

Nittany Knits: July 2007
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 27, 2007. Vogue Knitting's 25 th. Anniversary issue hit my mailbox today and guess what? The Fall Forecast 2007 section on page 110 announces that Huge and Gigantic sweaters are very very fashionable this fall. Who just happens to have made a horrible mistake in gauge for her Knitting Olympics. Me, that's who. Could this beast of a sweater now be the height of fashion? Why yes, yes it could. Happy Knitting and Spinning! Posted by Nittany Knits at 10:56 PM. Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Happy Kni...

Nittany Knits: April 2007
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 30, 2007. I have a day and a half worth of work this week, and then it's time to start knitting! Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, and Sun are all devoted to knitting. All knitting , all the time! I think I should pace myself since I've been out of the loop (pun intended), so that I'm not injured by the end of it all. Then again, maybe not. Today was dedicated to finding good Pho. Search and enjoyed a lovely lunch at An Loi. On Minstrel Way in Columbia. The fresh ingredients. Sunday, April 29, 2007.

Nittany Knits: January 2007
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 31, 2007. Did you know that every year 4 million babies die within the first month of life? That is equivalent to the number of babies born in the United States annually. 99 % of these deaths are in developing countries. Half of those babies die within the first 24 hours. Three out of four of these newborns could be saved by low-cost solutions. One such solution is knit caps to keep the babies warm. Here's the link to their website. Check it out! Everyone was so nice, and I made a sign...

Nittany Knits: March 2007
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 28, 2007. The Knitting Marathon lasted 11.5 hours and, true to form, more laughing than knitting was done. The Lakeside Cafe was quick to tell us that Miss Christine, Miss Sheila and myself were 36 hours early for our regular sit 'n knit, not that they were counting or anything. Four hours and 24 rows of my sock later, I determined that 1 row of knitting was taking me 10 minutes to knit. I have reached a new low in productivity! The last sit 'n knit I crashed for the night was at an loca...

Nittany Knits: June 2007
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 29, 2007. I'm very happy to report that the 'Clapotis' is finished and at Glowing Kay's house being blocked (for the low low price of a lovely Riesling). I have since started a purse for my mother that was actually a Mother's Day present made out of yarn I purchased at Stitches 2006. I haven't seen her in person since prior to Mother's Day, and did send her a backup present to make up for the fact that her purse was still not in her possession (let alone even cast on yet! We've had to get sp...

Nittany Knits: September 2006
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 30, 2006. A huge Thank You goes out to javajem for putting this blog together to get the word out about the Kni-A-Thon. Anyone who knows me knows that this whole blogging thing is far beyond my capabilities on the computer. Not only that, how can you all be knitting if you are blogging? Posted by Nittany Knits at 9:22 PM. So what are these door prizes that have been donated by local yarn stores and businesses? Thank You to all businesses for showing their support by hanging flyers in ...

Nittany Knits: May 2007
http://nittanyknits.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2007. I think someone at Joann's reads my blog, because waiting in my mailbox today (for the first time in over 6 weeks) was a Joann sale flier. Who knew! I couldn't wait to get home from sit 'n knit tonight to plop down in front of the National Spelling Bee. Why it is the National Spelling Bee when it includes kids from Canada is beyond me, yet so are the words these kids are spelling! Perhaps this is why I am intrigued by these super bright kids. Congrats to Evan O'Dorney. Age 13) fro...
