Anything Knitted and Crocheted: On a serious note for a moment....

Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

On a serious note for a moment....

I got to meet a wonderful woman, through the internet. Though we have never met in person, Glendene has touched me in a way few can understand. Glendene has a wonderful family and a part of Glendene's family is missing, her daughter Jessie Foster. Jessie doesn't even know that she has become an aunt.

Jessie has been missing for 2 years now, a victim of sex trafficking. Jessie is only 4 years older than my own daughter. I can't imagine what it must be like to know that my daughter is missing. I don't what I would do. If you could take a few minutes and read the following sites and post about Jessie on your blogs, that would be great. Glendene has been trying everything to bring her daughter home.

Please if you have seen Jessie or know of her whereabouts please contact the police, the local crimestoppers or Las Vegas Police.

Here are the websites and Glendene's contact information. We need to bring Jessie home and bring peace to the family.

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
