Knitterjize

I have to apologize, I have no pix.
We did though have so much fun, hence the reason for no pix, no time.
We had food, music, knitting and laughter.
"Knitterjize" is a great fun idea which might be repeated.

Also we talked about doing a granny square class being it summer and thinking portability. The class will be structured same as the knitted square of last summer, one square a week.

Well think about it if anyone is interested call Nickie.

Look! How adorable this is

Another of Nonna's designers.
Here the students learned how to carry a yarn up and how to pick up stitches. Applause for a job well done.



No it's not for Nickie, she is just modeling.
This is Grandma Barbara's hand work.

KNITTERJIZE

Spring has sprung, more like summer right now, and its time to slip off some of those extra garments we have been wearing. No more heavy coats. But as we all have been complaining, we need to shed some pounds. I did the Jenny and lost 20 but you know what, the 20 is creeping back up, like many in Nonnas community. Therefore, we put our thinking caps on and we came up with a fun and easy game to play where we will move and knit at the same time.

Knit and move at the same time? You must think I’ve lost my marbles. NOPE trust me it is possible but only my way!!! Care to join us?
When: Tuesday, May 12, 2009 What: “Knitterjize”
It begins at 1:30 till…..
The cost: $30.00 Kit included
Refreshments will be served, and lots of fun will be had by all!

My Husband

This is my husband's craftmenship. I did tell you ladies & gents that we are a family that is good with our hands? Well if I didn't, I will now.
My husband is a home improvement contractor and my oldest works with dad. You can see his great work at the Urban Muse or the Lounge here in Denville.


This is a beatufull home in Paramus that he completed this past winter.


A job well done by Fortunato Construction Incorporated!!
No job is too small or too big for them.

Another Designer

My first time designers are coming along and some are at the finish line. Here is Mary the second to finish. Mary used a slightly heavy worsted cotton with slubs, which made this sweater perfect wear for those cool evening by the beach. Also it can transition to a autumn sweater.

A perfect fit is a great feeling of accomplishment! Great job Mary :)

Italy's earthquake

You all know that we sister are Italian born with still lots of connection to our native land. We feel relief that none of our family members or friends were in the earthquake area of Aquila but just the same we all feel sadden by it.
My husbands is affiliated with Italian American Forum and they will be locating a family to assist directly, without any bureaucratic involvement. We hope to help raise funds ourselves and add to the IAF . Therefore if anyone is interested in helping us, please stop by the shop. There is a humongous need. More than one town was effected. Millions of people lost their home.
Please do try to give a little, even just a dollar, if we all pitch in we can help them rebuild.
Thank you so very much!!

Hellen has been a busy bee knitting away these beautiful blankets.
They feel soooo soft!
