For all the last minute blog-checkers, we are meeting at Sweet Tomatoes (or wahtever it's called) for dinner at 5:30. Bernadette finished her paper and Kim has tonight off. So we've got ample excuses to get together and talk and eat... and eat. I know I'll be doin' that. I've got today off and I'm a little bored with no subject matter so I'll be at Banres most of the afternoon. Stop by and say hi. Later peeps!

You all know we can't wait to get together, so we drummed up some not so shabby events to use as good excuses. Right now, there is just the two. But I think we may have a third on the way.
Maggie's coming back! (stifling little girl scream) Lol, not really screaming...well, maybe inside. Maggie Sefton, the author of The Knitting Mystery series is coming back to Barnes for a book signing on June 4th. Apparently, Maggie specifically asked to do her signing at "our" Barnes and who are we to pass up such an open invitation to go and plague her with our knitting and conversation? So, we will be meetin that week for knitting on Wednesday instead of Monday and at 7:00 or earlier if so desired. More on this develpment as it gets nearer. Check out Maggie's site here.
Also, for those of you that don't know yet, we are going to participate in the Knit-A-Thon for the Denver Children's Hospital. For some reason, I completely spaced bringing my notebook over and so I've no idea what the dates are for that, but I will get them to you all very soon. In the meantime...
We had discussed the idea of having a scarf swap for Christmas. Where each person knits up a holiday scarf and we swap them in a kind of drawing at the beginning of December. That way each person has a scarf to wear over the holiday's that was made by a buddy from their favorite Monday night knitting group. Lol. Feel free to comment on this or just bring your ideas to the group next Monday. Something to think about.
Also, I'm working on getting our Member Profile section completed so we can get it setup and and incorporate it into some of our group projects. I'm also going to get some business cards made with all the information our new groupies need to get started as part of the crew. Jan has more or less kept the fire burning on that one ('cus we all know I can't keep it in my head for that long) and has offered some ideas. More on that when we get a bit closer.
And that's all I had for today, guys. It was fan-freakin'-tastic seeing all of you tonight and I can't wait for next week.

To all the Knitting Knuts,
This is just to let you all know that I cherish you all. My time with each one of you has made me feel even more fullfill as the days,weeks, monthes and yet to come years of friendship!
I want to say a big Congratulations To Emily that baby finally made his debuet....and just think all those weeks were sure worth it. A little hat awaits you for your new little one.
Now we have 1 more baby we are waiting for....what is its name going to be....does anyone know?
I am going to be working on socks yes...I am going to turn the heal on Monday night.I look forward to seeing all the other projects being completed. I can't wait to see the purple skirt, the many socks that are being knitted, sweaters, blankets,the list just grows.
Jan went to the Tattered Cover on Friday and and met some more ladies that were very excited about finding a group close to where they live. Can't wait to meet them Monday night.

This was sent to muah earlier yesterday. Kim would like it passed on.
Shawn, I don't know how to send this to everyone so I sent it to you. The Yarn Harlot will be signing her new book Friday, April 4, at 7:30 at the Tattered Cover in Highlands Ranch. If anyone is interested. Talk to you later, kim
Anyone wanting to go should either email around on the Yahoo! groups msg board, or just congregate at the Tattered C at said time. Hope everybody has a great time. I will be working. Grrr.
