BYC KNITTING CLUB

[m.kitchengirl]

Good luck.
My flock is great, but my garden has been nothing but trial & tribulation this week. Trying to add some new raised beds... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
It has been awful. I am hopeful I can finally get them in (again) today, before the rain comes & washes away the yard of dirt I filled the last set of beds I bought from Lowes.
I'll never go to Lowes again.
I have had very little time to knit or craft the last few weeks. I have all day tomorrow scheduled to do some quilting & some knitting - after band practice.

I haven't touch my quilting in 2 years . I have a beautiful Irish chain (queen) size just waiting for the panels to be sewn together and the borders to be put on (3hours work tops). I also have a baby quilt I did That I just need to have long armed. I think it's my best work yet so I want to find some one that is going to do an extra special job.I'm not in a rush . My son isn't married . His girlfriend of 4 years is in Med school so I don't think I'll be a grandma anytime soon.

I hope this question doesn't offend anyone here but I am in need of yarn scraps, trimmings & little bits so I can make a few nesting kits for the wild bird population on our farm. I only have a small amount since I just finished adding all my extras to my Scrapghan last month.

If it's not too much I am happy to send back postage if you can mail some. I would really appreciate it =) any kind/type of yarn is welcome! Please PM me if you can help.

I used to know how to knit when I had a job in home health one of my clients taught me, but after she passed away, I quit, now I have gotten into the kniffty knitter and got 1 of my granddaughters hooked on them also.

Bleenie, I can help you out. I have tons of yarn and some I'll never use. PM me and give me your address so I can mail you some. Where in WA are you? My daughter lives in Tenino, not far from Olympia.

My address is:

Betty Austin
7748 Lorene Ave. Inyokern, CA 93527

I can probably send some as well. How long/short do the lengths of yarn need to be?

I finally did some knitting today.
It took so much to do the garden expansion project, and the kids had vacation. Whew, I am whooped. This rainy day was a nice excuse to stay home & be still.

 

[Bleenie]

Thank you all SO much! Betty, I am about an hour from Tenino, actually used to live there =)
m.kitchen girl, any length is good, if it's long I can cut it down but i'd have to say no longer than 6 inches? The biggest birds I have seen so far are the (NOISY) stellar jays that have been assaulting the suet feeder, lol. There were six on it the other day, all screaming at eachother

I think I should have enough now with your help. I found a local bunny rescue that saved up their fibers from Sunday's grooming & another BYC'er that's going to send me some 'unspinnable' lamb fiber. I know how much the birds loved stealing hairs from the horse so hopefully the will like the other animal fibers as well!

 

[m.kitchengirl]

No problem.
I'll go through my stash one rainy night this week.
I hope.

I came home to a nightmare today, and have no idea what "fixing" it is going to require.
If they aren't in the mail by Friday, I'll let you know.
