Hi Paulette and everyone else,

Rick and I have noticed more male knitters lately, too. Last week we had 2 young
guys visit the shop and they were like kids in a candy store <g>. One mentioned
he was going to knit a scarf for his girlfriend for Christmas. Rick got to teach
them how to knit hats in intarsia.

OKC: I've been going in fits and starts since I got stuck with this nasty
tendonitis. But I am currently setting all my "works in progress" aside to knit
one of my favorite Knitting Pure & Simple sweaters. Diane, I just love that
neckdown pullover. I have one knit out of Canadiana Colours that I get all sorts
of compliments on. This current one is being knit out of Cascade 220 in a blue
jeansy ragg. I'll wear it with my uniform of choice....Levi's jeans <g>. I'm
gonna finish it...even if my arm falls off <lol>.
