My Father, my comedian

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

I had to share….

My dad is hilarious, usually unitentionally.

My sister finished her year of service with City Year and her phone with them was disconnected a few weeks ago. By a funny coincedence, her roomate who is still with City Year, got her phone number.

A couple of weeks ago he tells my sister that some fatherly sounding man keeps leaving messages on his voicemail looking for her. We have a good laugh over it and my sister gives our dad her new number.

Last week my dad calls me and says “tell your sister to call me. I keep trying to get in touch with her, but some guy keeps answering her phone.”

Needless to say- that story will go down as classic dad.

Ravelry Fun

Friday, October 12th, 2007

Ravelry just might be my downfall. I have been posting projects all day. I had no idea I knit so much. I put in calls to friends and family to take pictures of stuff I made so I can post it. It is very interesting to see other versions of the same pattern. Right now, I am making *Unbiased* from Knitty and it is amazing how others took the same pattern, but put thier own twist on it. Some folks used a different yarn, others added stiches or panels.  One of the ladies I work with searched the site for patterns using a particular yarn and then looked for a new store that opened in our area. Wow. How cool is that?

Okay, I must go. I have to finish another project so I can post it on Ravelry.
