Must be something wrong with my Mom...I'm with Kate. Must be something wrong with my Momma gene, too, 'cause I am utterly selfish about going to knitting/spinning gatherings ALONE. The only time I was not completely selfish about it was when I was nursing. Never had any luck pumping, so had to bring the live pump, which thankfully slept in her car seat bucket on the floor in between glutting sessions. I actually got some spinning done on those occasions, and the baby never cried. Now ten and an avid spinner, she has to promise that she will spin or do some other crafty activity and not be a pest, or she stays home with Dad, who will put her to work on cleaning her room or doing laundry. I wish I did not live so far away from Chicago, because I would really enjoy attending this Knit-In! Franklin, I will check out the Dulaan website, though. Sounds like a very worthy cause. I suppose I shouldn't begin to think of asking if anyone over there would trade a Yurt for knitted clothing? (I must admit, I LOVE Yurts and have fantasies about building one for my sudio someday...) Hope the knit-in is a fabulous success -- but how could it not be? As for cats -- ye gods and goddesses, doesn't this person realize that some folks are violently allergic to cats? (I am. If one came anywhere near me, I'd be an asthmatic mess in about five minutes and would have to go home!)CP Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536523200461430763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1161045274231215982006-10-16T20:34:00.000-04:002006-10-16T20:34:00.000-04:00There must be something wrong with my momma gene b...There must be something wrong with my momma gene because I would never <I>think</I> to bring children to a Mongolian Knit-In (with or without strippers), let alone ask the organizer if I could!

I can tell you from experience that "demon seed" children always have parents who refer to them as high spirited, creative individuals, or just ignore the fact that their child is misbehaving. <BR/><BR/>"Excuse me but your son is trying to paint my daughter orange." "Oh Timmy is just so creative."<BR/><BR/>"Sorry but if that your daughter knocking all the cereal off the shelf?" No answer because dad is on the cellphone talking to some saying, "Yes I know I'm a good dad for taking Audrey to the grocery store to give my wife a break."<BR/><BR/>You should consider admitting only infants in strollers and children who actually knit.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541095469969455692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1160745715909460582006-10-13T09:21:00.000-04:002006-10-13T09:21:00.000-04:00While Zoe the Borderline Collie is a rather servic...While Zoe the Borderline Collie is a rather serviceable dog, she has not indicated "her desire to attend."

What would it be like, to hire a tour bus to start at point x, to arrive at point Dolores/Franklin? We could plan for the bus to pick up knitters along the way to Franklin's house. It could be planned so that the bus would stop in certain cities known for the quality of a LYS. Or two, or three. Hmm. Maybe 2 buses. One for the people, and one for the stash purchased along the way. I can just see it now--the Magical Frogging Tour Bus.
