OMG I'm *famous*

OK, well, maybe not, but Franklin mentioned me on his blog. I am inordinately excited about it. I'm not sure it's normal.

Does this make me a groupie?

And Franklin, on the very very off chance that you ever read my blog, I heard you emailed another friend of mine, Eric, about coming to our knit night. The group of us discussed driving up to Kokomo to kidnap you next time you're there.

So keep your eyes open. We have pointy sticks.

I finished these in record time and have just not gotten around to taking pictures of them. They were quite fun, and I did manage to get them both out of the 1 ball of red yarn.

First I tried to have my 4 year old take pictures of them....


He thought that was just the best thing ever. So maybe he gets me after all...

Better late than never!

So, yeah, I haven't blogged in a while. Insert all of my previous excuses here, I don't want to repeat myself, and I think they all apply. It's been crazy. But anyway...

Remember a while back when I blogged about how Project Linus sent out a request for blankets in Colts colors?
Well Janet and I got together after a very (VERY) busy garage sale at my house and turned these...

...into THESE.

Our knitting group rocks! I was hoping we might have enough blocks for 2 blankets, but we ended up with enough for 3. Considering what a very short time we had to throw these together, I think we dod pretty good. They were nice and snuggly, too. There is a row of blocks that you can't see over the top of the banister.

A couple days after we turned them in we found out why they were doing it.

It turns out Peyton Manning donated upwards of $50 million to the St. Vincent's Children's Hospital. They re-named it after him and had a big event. You can see a kid with Peyton who has a Linus blanket HERE (It's not one of ours, though).

Go Colts!
