Tuesday, Aug. 12, an historic event[s] took place: yarn dyeing, knitting & eating at Tanya's! We need all the delicious recipes posted at the BSKG online cookbook. User name is BSKG, e-mail me for the password.

You never know

who or what you might see at the Coffee Beanery!..... like 3 spinning wheels or Tanya with baby Ivy.

Happy August Birthdays to Harriet & Sally. I apologize to the ladies whose summer birthdays I missed.

The feet are at it again! At least we can help keep the Coffee Beanery floor clean. :-)

We are awesome!

Tonight at the Coffee Beanery we witnessed a bevy of socks.


Linda Dean finished her first pair of socks right before our eyes

And to top off a wonderful evening we collected $65.00 to donate to the American Heart Assn. in memory of Greg's mother who recently passed away.

We are awesome.

There wasn't any way to keep track of the *visitors* to the KIP tent at Cranbrook..... but they were many! Here's a slideshow



and a message from Linda Lutomski:

"Thank you so much for the support in our demo day! It was 
so great to have so many hands, ideas and reliable people 
working  for the cause. I am proud to be a part of a guild 
with the dedication and cooperative ability to work together
and enjoy each other the way we do. With the public interest
and our terrific looking booth, I don't think that "outsiders" 
would have had a clue that we had never done this sort of thing 
as a group. It all came together so well. I am off to nurse the 
sunburn, but I had to share my excitement and appreciation 
for the outcome of our event!"

Here are more pictures taken by L. Goodman.

Kim W.: a Lion brand 'Learn To Knit' kit in January, 2004

what was your most difficult project?
Kim T.: that's a hard one...I like to be challenged! My Coriolis socks gave me difficulty because I had a hard time navigating the book...
Kim W.: Mystery stole

what was/is your favorite project?
Kim T.: Whatever I am knitting at the moment!
Kim W.: any kind of socks or mittens

salty or sweet?
Kim T.: Definitely sweet!... chocolate croissants or cherry turnovers - almost forgot the Hagen-Das chocolate ice cream!
Kim W.: Both - but if pressed sweet always wins.

tell us something interesting about yourself
Kim T.: I've done lots of stupid stuff! Like the time I went to Guatemala with one of America's Most Wanted!
Kim W.: As an adult I lived in Texas for 3 years. I played the flute all the way through School until my Senior Year

aside from knitting, what are you passionate about?
Kim T.: I am passionate about my son Christopher. I was very passionate about art - before knitting - painting watercolors and doing pastels. I also love to travel.
