truth be told.....

You are White Chocolate

You have a strong feminine side with a good bit of innocence thrown in. Whether your girlish ways are an act or not, men like to take care of you. You are an understated beauty, and your power is often underestimated!

What Kind of Chocolate Are You?

The weekend is going fine.
I got a lovely package from my secret angel Vivian ..she hand spun , dyed, knit and felted a great bag for me ! I will post pics ..she sent a nice card , two balls of yarn that i am making this with. she also sent a knitting book ! WEEKEND KNITTING!!!! I am a spoild brat i must say !!!!! Vivian thank you for stepping in when my secret pal stepped off !! you are the best !!!!!


I knit on sock 2 today at the knit-up and was in a more giving spirit than usual. I have decided to go back to my original intention and make knitting a community thing and not a side job. which means I no longer charge(and get anxiety)to teach newbies the basics of knitting.. The only requirement is that one gets their arse down to the Knottie Hotties ~Knit2gether 2twice a month and show a little courage when stumped on a stitch, dats all i ask... So I have decided, through much contemplation and examination and a little therapy , yes therapy, that passing the knitting torch on,(especially to sisters and mamas in da hood) is what JAH wants me to do....It's not a $$$$ thing, it's deeper than that. I have come across sooo many who i have inspired or who wanted to learn to knit, but could not afford my rate when they inquire if I'd teach them. I hated that guilty feeling that would come over me when i hear... " I just learned garter, wanna learn purl, but just can't afford to pay you"......

So I have decided that I will be more generous with newbie knitters in my area that truly want to learn. I hold the knit 2 gethers faithfully every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. I will encourage all in attendance to offer helping hands to one another as we are all at different skill levels.... So from now on I will assist from the heart, and not expectant anything in return except that satisfaction of knowing I am doing the right thing.... Besides, newbies need love too... There also is no harm in showing basics or run a video, tell of Internet sources and point them in the direction of local fiber wizards and yarn shop divas..Because when you are a new knitter you need support , but it's easy to whine and pout and stress all else around you when you dropped a stitch ! and that is not right ....just try again , my friend ...But volunteering and helping is the least I can do. I am still taking the responsibility off of me as being the "knitting business woman" who can magically teach you for a small fee and handing the job back to the new knitter... I am reclaiming the I am a "knitter in the community" and offer help out of love... If they truly want this skill and craft under their belt, I can help with out stressing, this is my way of giving back ....... giving it all back....

happy knitting
