Addi Turbo Click Interchangeable Knitting Needle Set WANTED

I have a dear friend who runs a charity and constantly knits and crochets for the needy. She is looking for a set of the Addi Turbo Click interchangeable knitting needles but can't afford the $159.95 price tag... if anyone has a set they are willing to sell cheaper, trade, or donate to her 501 c 3 charity please contact info@reliefshare.org.

here's here plea from facebook:

ADDI TURBO CLICK INTERCHANGEABLE KNITTING NEEDLE SET - okay so I really really want a set for my charity work for ReliefShare.org but can't pay the $ the website is wanting, they are so expensive. I am putting this 'out there' on my facebook because out of 4,539 facebook friends I am praying SOMEONE will either have one or know of someone who has one that would be willing to sell cheap, trade, donate or share their set with me. Pretty pretty please......I knit every single day and they would get well used. I need the Addi Turbo because my hands are tiny (ring finger is a 3 3/4) and I can knit like the wind with them. Right now I have a circular needle set but not enough sizes to handle all the weights of yarn. Hoping......can you help me?

Outside

Hi all-

Something I don't do very much- get outside and just sit. However the weather is great today so I'm outside with my laptop catching up, sitting on daddy's patio just me and the dog. She has her own chair, mind you. I don't generally take my knitting and crochet outside because the tables and all are covered in green pollen right now. YUCK! I had to clean off a place to sit and to sit my computer and all.

I may have some tah-dah's when I get my camera out and catch up on pictures- have some knitted hats almost finished if I can figure out the decreases on them. Knitting in the round, although fairly easy, is new to me so I'm catching on.

Speaking of which, I'm gonna go knit some more, my battery is getting low and since Daddy is off cutting my grandmother's grass, I guess I'm charged with giving the dog her slice of cheese for lunch. She's not letting me forget what time it is.

Later all! Gotta plug my laptop in.

Some scrap bits of crochet and a bit of knitting

Hi Folks,

Sorry so long between posts, seems as though I'm seldom sitting down long enough to post when/where I have computer access and lucky if I get time to crochet or knit lately. If I do it's usually at home in the wee hours of the morning where I DON'T have internet access.

I've been desperately trying to use up some of my spare yarns and gotten into scrappy projects lately. Baby hats are a good one, as are dishcloths, coasters and using my yarn winder from Boye to wind up spare yarn. Ripple or two afghans in the works just to use up some of that!

I've been knitting a bit (I know- knitting doesn't use as much yarn...) trying to get down the pattern for some simple baby hats and a few cocoons and things. Remember, my knitting skils are very beginner compared to my crochet skills. If you have time this spring be sure and pack a box crocheted goods or not and send to your favorite charity. Relief Share is my favorite and gets most of my goodies.

Here's a list of some of my favorite patterns lately:

Baby cocoon (knitted)
Baby Top Knot hat (knit)
4am Ripple (crochet)
Project Linus Granny Ripple
Project Linus Easy Ripple in DC

I also Recommend Crochet World's 50 Scrap projects and The Crochet Dude's Use Up That Yarn! books- lots of scrap patterns there and of course tons more on the internet. The big colors around here lately? Murray State's (University) Blue and Gold and University of KY's Blue and White. Their basketball teams are tops so everyone is nuts for both.

Well now I'm off to do some kniting on a cocoon I started. going well but small stitches mean slow going. Liking it though but with my slow knitting it takes a while.

80 Here Today

After the warning of more storms, it's a beautiful sunny 80 degrees here today! And wouldn't ya know it I gotta work later. Off tomorrow but it's supposed to be back to 50-60. Was gonna crochet some and post some more items to Etsy but no such luck. Maybe a little tomorrow but by the time I get done with appts half the day will be over. Those that have beautiful weather, hope you get to enjoy it!

Please pray for Harrisburg IL and other areas affected by the storms and tornados. Everyone I know is OK and no big losses but so many lost everything. We were lucky to have missed it in Paducah and Calvert City.
Well mostly anyway. There was some damage out past KY Oaks mall along the McCracken/Ballard Co line that turned over a trailer and some other damage but I think everyone got out OK. Nothing like Harrisburg which was just short of being like Joplin MO a year or so ago.

Soon as I get time to stop a few min, my next project will be the Owl mug cozy on Red Heart's Site. Just looking for a few min so I can stop and make one, eyes and all!
