I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;ll do that today, as kits and finished hats are going out, and I don&#8217;t have a good system for toting packages.  I need a Santa sack.  Or a shopping cart.  Although probably our neighbors wouldn&#8217;t be thrilled to see a raggedy-lookin&#8217; woman pushing a shopping cart up the street.  Eh, maybe I&#8217;ll just drive today and work it out later.<\/p>\n<p>Today I got a nice note, complete with photo, from a serviceman in South Korea who just got his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wearwithstyle.com\/hat5.html\" target=\"blank\">Jayne hat<\/a>.  It really brightened my day, and it reminded me that I never shared the following bit of awesomeness!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/Jaynemisc\/MMJaynedrawing.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/Jaynemisc\/MMJaynedrawing-thumb.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"right\"><\/a><br \/>\nSometimes people send me art or goodies along with the nice letters and photos of themselves in their hats (note to self: stop back-burnering gallery already!).  You should click on the pic to see a larger version, because it&#8217;s just too good to miss.  I don&#8217;t want to use the customer&#8217;s name without her permission.  I did get permission to post the pics.  This is nice work, and I hope she will find a way to incorporate her art and creativity into her professional career.<\/p>\n<p>This was part of a hat request that I just LOVED.  When she got her finished hat, she was nice enough to write, <i>&#8220;Ahhh! The box! The letter! Everything!  It&#8217;s so beautiful! I love it! My friends will all be jealous.  Thankyouthankyouthankyou!&#8221;<\/i>  I feel good that I brightened her day as much as she brightened mine.  There are a lot of nice Browncoats in the world!<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m putting together kits, but also driving up to Davidson.  In spite of promises from the mill that they&#8217;d have their stuff out last week, I haven&#8217;t seen hide nor hair of my yarn.  I almost never run low on earflap-red, because less of it goes into every hat, but I&#8217;m touching bottom in my Jayne inventory.  No worries, it&#8217;ll all work out.  Davidson always has my red.  At least I can have confidence that if I buy more red, the red I already ordered will surely come in.  It&#8217;s like losing something and buying a replacement.  The old item turns up once you&#8217;ve already spent money.  Or maybe that&#8217;s just me.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/knittingmisc\/Regiabamboosocks\/Regiabamboo70.jpg\" target=\"blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvini.org\/images\/knittingmisc\/Regiabamboosocks\/Regiabamboo70-thumb.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" align=\"left\"><\/a><br \/>\nAt <a href=\"http:\/\/www.needlecraftcenter.com\/\">the Needlecraft Center<\/a> in Davidson, they have Koigu and Lorna&#8217;s Laces, but I&#8217;m feeling I can resist their siren call.  After all, I&#8217;ve only had time to knit a few more rows on the Regia Bamboo socks pictured.  However, I&#8217;ve finished sleeve one of Emily&#8217;s sweater, so that&#8217;s fine.  It won&#8217;t kill me to wait longer to work on my own stuff &#8211; that&#8217;s what moms through the ages have done, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>I managed to get a blister on my right hand while digging up volunteer trees in the side yard, but I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;ll affect my ability to knit.  I&#8217;m going to do a some DragonRealms work, then test that theory.  I&#8217;m still ahead of the line, and I&#8217;d like to keep it that way!<\/p>\n<p><i>Hats up for:  CA, PA, TX.<\/i><br \/>\n<br clear=all><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m continuing to walk more, and carried mail up to the post office a couple of miles away yesterday.
