Labor day hiatus

KnitSisters will be closed today in observance of the Labor Day holiday.

We’re plumb tuckered out from all that knitting, spinning, and skunk chasing.

But we’ll be back tomorrow with more fun and high jinks as Ellen attempts to design a small item of knitwear with a leaf motif in honor of the Fall 2006 KnitSisters Design Contest…and learns the true meaning of “total incompetence.”

Tune in Tuesday for this heartwarming (and heartbreaking) epic adventure in the fiber arts.

One woman. Ninety bazillion knitting books. Two beautiful skeins of her sister’s handspun. Minimal math skills. No vision.

The odds are long and the path is rocky. Can she succeed, or will this merely become an irresistible opportunity for her vastly more talented sister to mock her? We’ll find out when KnitSisters returns!

Until then, Happy Labor Day! Don’t lift a finger now, y’hear?

    Since I’ve been a slug all weekend so far, no reason to change, eh?

    Shelley is too cute! Stinky girl. Rest, recoup, and realize that the same blood that flows through Sarah’s veins flows through yours (or was one of you a changeling?). You CAN do this! Maybe a maple leaf for our northern neighbors? Have a good rest.

    Thanks for the encouragement, Lorinda!

    And for the compliment on Shelley’s natural good looks. What I love about that photo is that she is completely relaxed, completely exhausted.

    We had been running (in the rain, no less…blech!) and we were both beat. Fortunately, she is completely incapable of taking photos of me because while she was cute, I was just wet and nasty.
