Check out my calendar for this month...

I've got a lot of returning to do! Because I have some REALLY GREAT friends!
Including my "Cosmic Twin" Bobbi, who sent me this package. She's introducing me to my

I finally have a Monkey off my
While in PA I did go to The Mannings and Misty Mountain Fiber Workshop. No, I didn't buy much...this was such a "whirlwind" trip I didn't have much time for shopping. This was BIL's (muggle) first trip to a yarn shop, so I told him to pick out some sock yarn and I'd make him a pair of socks, he was quite amazed at all the inventory they (The Mannings) carried, the same reaction I had on my first visit. It was nice to see the owner Carol again, we had a nice chat...while the men were enjoying the front porch rocking chairs. If you've never visited...its a MUST~~5 stars all the way across the board!
IF you happen to be in the area or make the trip for this, Carol asked me to post about their Knit-In coming up August 11th from 10am-4pm, all they ask is you bring a chair, your lunch and your knitting or spinning wheel...NO structure...NO fee, just a day to knit with old and new friends. Door prizes, cookies and cold drinks will be available. The event is held outside on the grounds but seating will also be available inside if necessary (rain).
Misty Mountain sits right in between two of our favorite art galleries! So while I poked my head in the "fellas" visited the galleries. She has a nice selection of looms and offers both week long classes and weekend classes to suit your schedule...even private classes!
Well, I've gotta go get my stuff together for tonight....Knit/Spin Night!
THANKS BOBBI...again and again!
Keep on Knittin' & Spinnin'!!

Love your Monkeys! That pattern is brilliant -- it looks great with solid-colored, variegated and self-striping yarns!
Someday I plan on making the trip to mecca, I mean, The Mannings! Glad you got to do something positive on what was probably a sad trip.
Your calendar looks so familiar, LOL. I love your Monkey Socks, too.
Your monkey sock look great. Nice job. Seeing yours spurs me on to try a pair.
love those!!!
Welcome back! I can't believe you have another FO! Where do you find time for all this?
Correction: that would be an introduction to Dutch heritage not Norwegian. Delft is the region in the Netherlands (Holland) where the white china with blue painting is from.
You're not much if you're not Dutch!
Welcome home. Love the "monkey sox". One day, one day........(she dreams) theat she will make it across the pond and visit all these wonderful places you visit! But most importantly I WILL visit you!
Much love XXXXXX
Wow awesome gifts! The socks are so cool, very matchy matchy, too. That always amazes me when that happens.
My warmest condolences on the loss of Hubbys Uncle..
Glad you got to see The Mannings again..I could do that frequently..and Misty Mountain is very nice also..just not much yarn to select from..but other nice items..hugs!
Those monkey socks look terrific. I really MUST try this pattern. Everytime I see them finished on a friend's blog, I get the urge to go look for needles and yarn. :o)
Oh, I love those Monkeys! I'm going to start a pair as soon as I complete my Jaywalkers.
