Meeting, anyone???

So I am trying to get together a Camarillo knitting group and am hoping that some people will want to get together. I tried posting on the yahoo knitting group and got a few replies, but nobody replied to my email about meeting this week. So if there are any Camarillo knitters/crocheters out there, wanna meet one a week, couple times a month?? I thought it might be fun to have a group of crafty women as friends!!

I was thinking about the Peets coffee on Arneill in the Vons shopping center, unless anyone else has any other ideas?? I have only lived here for a year so I am sure that there is some cool place that I don't know about yet? I like Palermo coffee downtown, but there isn't a lot of room to sit there, but they do have delicious coffee!!!

Tubular Cast on...

So since most days I end up freezing my hands off at the office I have decided that I want to attempt the infamous Eunny Jang endpaper mitts. I first tried the tubular cast on Eunny recommended and I succeeded after a few tries, however when I pull the end of the cast on edge it contracts or gets bigger (sort of like a draw string bag??) so of course I thought that I must have done it wrong. Onto the knitters book of finishing techniques book..let me tell ya this method is much harder, well ok not necessarily harder but defiantely more time consuming!! After doing this cast on I reaized that its supposed to do the draw string thingy and that you can put elastic in it if you wanted to. BUT...what if I don't want to, how is the italian tubular supposed to stay put? Are you supposed to anchor it, what?? HELP!!!
Then I realized..hey I don't know how you are supposed to work two colors, what hands are supposed to hold what? I have devised a method but have NO idea if its right or not? I can knit both continental style and (English)? so I put the dominate color in my right hand and the "colorwork" color in my left hand. Hmm....

Yard Sales are hard work!!!

So I spent the weekend at my parents, helping them get ready for their big move across the pacific to Hawaii. Lucky!! They have said that I could move with them and hey I am starting to seriously think about it. I probably would have to get rid of a lot of my stuff, but then again, who cares.... I would be in Hawaii..with my family, figuring out a way to make ends meet and swim in the ocean every day!!
