Last Post for Awhile
This will be my last post for awhile because on Monday I finally leave for my trip to Europe. I will be back on July 4th. I am getting really excited. Just 3 days away! I have a story to tell you though.
Last week I e-mailed the customer service department of Lufthansa Airlines to see if I could bring circular knitting needles on the plane. They e-mailed me back that they had just changed their policy and that knitting needles of ALL types are now allowed in the cabin. GREAT!!!! I knew just the project I would bring with me to knit on the plane. A nice lace shawl. I was very excited because that is ALOT of knitting time.....the next day I get a call from Lufthansa Airlines saying that in response to my inquiry regarding knitting needles in the cabin -- they were ALSOLUTELY NOT allowed!
I said to the woman on the other end of the telephone that I had received a response to my inquiry already that due to policy changes I WAS allowed to bring them on the flight. She told me NO that was incorrect.
So, whom to believe.........I have decided that I WILL take my knitting and also an envelope with postage on it so that if they tell me I cannot take the needles on the flight then I will mail everything home. Does that sound like a plan to you?
In the meantime, I hope everyone has a great couple weeks and I will see you on the flip side!
Surprise
I got home last night and there was a box waiting for me to open. It was from my SP. I was so excited. I received the following in my box:
A blue tin with handmade lotion bars
A beautiful skein of 100% wool (850 yds!!!!!) of lace weight yarn
3 different kinds of blue beads
A Good To Go 1 skein Knitter's Tote
All are fabulous!!!!!! Thank you so much secret pal! You really made my day!
Shawl is done!
I finally finished the shawl. It came very nice and I have taken a picture of it and will get it on the computer shortly.
I started a couple new projects. I am trying lace out for the first time. I am making a lace shawl in Lorna's Laces, Helen's Lace - Iris Garden yarn. It is coming out nicely. I also started a dog afghan for my cousin's dog. She wanted me to knit one up badly for her dog Shelby. And last but not least I have a project in my carryon ready for me to bring to Europe. Another lace shawl.
My nephew was in an All-star baseball game yesterday and they tied 4-4. It was very exciting.
That's all for now. Later.....
