I got this off the Austin Freecycle Cafe mailing list. In case any of you are crafty enough to make stuff to sell, I thought I’d share:

Ooooooh…I wish I could go! I’m on house arrest until this baby decides to make her grand entrance. :pout: She’s due in 10 days…here’s to hoping she’s not in there that long! LOL Crossed Fingers

183

Evos, good luck with the baby thing! :slight_smile: Is this your first? They say first babies are usually late, but mine was 6 days early, and her younger sister followed suit. :slight_smile:

184

Nope, this is our third! LOL Our first was 9 days late, her sister was 3 days early. I’ve been hoping that this little girl will be even earlier…but it’s not looking that way! Thanks for the well wishes! :muah:

185

Congrats on the baby!!!

186

Evos, congrats on your third! :slight_smile:

187

Babies are wonderful!!!

Has anyone made it to the other new LYS?

188

They sure are! I don’t want any more kids, but I sure do miss babies… luckily I have 3 month old twin Godbabies to play with. :slight_smile:

I haven’t made it to the new place yet- we should set up a yarn-date!

Hello Austin knitters. My name is Lamar, and I’m in College Station (well Bryan, actually.) Since there is never a local group for me, I’ve got to introduce myself to the closest people. My MIL lives in Georgetown, and I’ve been to Bluebonnet a couple of times when I’m there.

I’d love to get a chance to knit with some of you when we’re in town. Is anyone ever up for a weekend get together?

190

Always!

191

Lamar, absolutely! I work FT, so weekends are good for me. :slight_smile:

Gauge is closed!! :frowning: Apparently she was only open there for about a month… I tried to go today. Her stuff is still in there, so I don’t know if she’s going to try it again somewhere else, or what… :frowning:

193

OMG! I just came online to talk about that! Apparently there was a major problem between the two owners…

I was at Hill Country Weavers today and got a little scoop from a little birdie. OH! Plus HCW is going to create knitting bags with their logo on it!

194

That stinks, I hope they can work it out…

Evos, if you’re around, just wondering if baby came yet?

195

Copied from Ravelry Member Shobhana:

[I]Karli, the owner of Gauge is one my closest friends and she has asked me to post here regarding the status of Gauge. this is OFFICIAL - Gauge will re-open on Saturday, October 27th (though she did say it could possibly be Friday, the 26th). pass it on.[/I]

196

Are any of you going to the Vickie Howell class?

197

Vickie Howell class? Details please?

There is a yarn shop in Georgetown that has a weekly group. It is held on Thur. evenings. I’ve never been because I am taking care of my grandson so I can’t tell you anything else about it. Here is the location information: 304 W 8th St Georgetown, TX 78626 (512) 869-2182. Good luck. Wish I could go!

199

Hmmmm…I am keeping that address in my wallet! My oldest son ended up having to play in soccer tournaments this Saturday and we have to make our way up to Georgetown I think. Maybe youngest son and I can go squeeze yarn together :smiley:

I hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday season.
Best wishes!
