Summer 7

Hi. Stores are already thinking ahead for the Fall and holiday season. Sent an email yesterday that Betty Ann's in Old Auburn is looking for knitting and crochet items to sell.

Also sent an email asking about the state fair bra display and appreciated hearing back. Here's one Knotty Knitter's comment: "The exhibit was nice, simply put up on the wall 4 across and 3 down. I didn't like the fact that the bras could be touched with no arms distance rope to prohibit any touching. I did stand back for a short time, watch people observe and listened to their comments. The comments were 'this is art?', 'they must be really bored', these coming from younger people. Women 40+ smiled and looked at each bra with great interest and took pictures, lots. People were either somehow offended by it or took it with humor and love for knitting which we intended. Everyone loved and pointed to the November, turkey bra, they loved it."

Reminder: Registration for Placer School for Adult classes begins next Tuesday! Hint: Sign up on the first day if you want in.

Trying to finish up three projects before Fall class begins, including the summer challenge. One naughty knitter could not remember what the challenge is; it is to make something (fabulous) with the yarn we dyed in June. Enjoy the rest of the summer.

Hi Irene!
I went and met Betty Ann at her shop on Sunday. I told her I sell my stuff in Oct but anything that is left I will place in her shop for consignment. She has mostly scarves and hats and would be happy to have some purses and some felted items as she has no felted items. So thank you for the referral. See you Sept 11th!

Diana, I'm glad it will work out. Thanks for letting me know. Can't wait to see you in September.
