And it's not simple, follow a pattern stuff......it's 'I've dreamt up this item that I can't really explain but I want you to make it for me yesterday' stuff! LOL He really thinks I'm way more creative than I am!<BR/><BR/>I hope you get to enjoy the rest of their visit.LeaAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727126764110175428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551307755117483747.post-7413068314441843162007-08-26T22:28:00.000-05:002007-08-26T22:28:00.000-05:00When I finished the Pimlico shrug, I wore it on an...When I finished the Pimlico shrug, I wore it on an unseasonably cold day in May to a birthday party. A woman there who is an aquaintance of mine (not friend) came up to me and said, "Wow, I love that. Is it Eileen Fisher?" I told her I had made it and she said, "Oh, if I buy the yarn, would you knit one for me? I will pay you for the time it would take, name your price."<BR/><BR/>First, it is a very simple design. A big flat triangle and some sleeves. Second, paying me for my time? Not enough money in the world. It took forever to knit that damn thing. There is no possible way I would do that for under 500$. Which no one in their right mind would ever pay, and rightly so. I was flattered, certainly, but it was a funny comment coming from someone who has no idea what went into the project to begin with.<BR/><BR/>Luckily, a lot of my friends here are knitters, so if they want something, they just knit it themselves. A few people have asked for sushi sets, but I am rather evasive about answering. <BR/><BR/>I have to say, though, if I didn't knit, and I knew Pez IRL, I'd be on her like white on rice for soe knitted food. It's so damn cute. <BR/><BR/>Have fun during her visit, if you'll be able tp keep up with her activity level.

It does seem that people think you have a lot of free time if you knit - I never have enough time and way too many projects waiting.<BR/><BR/>I love the strawberry girl though - so beautiful!! :)Melissa @ Banana Migrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14951062053478091089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551307755117483747.post-85676576731172633612007-08-26T18:16:00.000-05:002007-08-26T18:16:00.000-05:00I hate the implication that because I knit, I must...I hate the implication that because I knit, I must have tons of free time to sit on my ass. This is just what I do with the free time I do have. This is huge pet peeve for me.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02597697403616234233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4551307755117483747.post-10378923579828757312007-08-26T17:43:00.000-05:002007-08-26T17:43:00.000-05:00YES!

I have to make time to knit- usually while waiting in line, watching the kids at the park, etc.. (no, I'm not <I>active</I>)<BR/><BR/>My sister gave me a dog knitting book to make her dog a sweater. I have never made a sweater for any of my kids, but sure!...<BR/><BR/>She also gave me a beautiful ball of baby alpaca, but asked me to make something with it for her!! (at the time I had never knitted anything for myself, either.) <BR/><BR/>Have fun with your sis and niece during her visit! :DSteffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18200921630001740764noreply@blogger.com
