GOTCHA! (Heather)

We've added another knitter to our numbers.

A few weeks ago, Joe's niece, Michaela, and her two boys spent a weekend with us, and I taught them all to knit...then I took Michaela shopping at River Knits. I kind of thought we had her when she said "Won't I need like a bag or a basket or something to keep it all in?"

She picked a basic ribbed hat/scarf pattern and some cascade 220...and that night I heard her say something to one of the boys, which reinforced to me that we had her...

"Just a minute, Cory. I'm knitting."

She called last night and when I answered, she said...

"Guess what I'm wearing."

She had finished the hat and worn it upstairs (she lives in the basement of her dad's house) to show it to the folks up there, but they weren't impressed enough (maybe because they were in bed...), so she called me. I was so proud. :)

Now I need to make a trip to Omaha for a knitalong....

It's very sobering to discover that non-knitters just aren't as excited over new projects as they should be. I'm glad she had a fellow knitter who was not only enthusiastic but awake when she called!

You are truly a knitting force to be reckoned with...I know this because Sunday night, after returning from a long weekend in Kearney and when his brother had driven him almost bonkers, I heard Wyatt utter..."I'm going downstairs to knit!!!!"
