Mossy Cottage Knits

Ooh, I'm gonna be in your Washington that weekend (as opposed to the Washington that I live near). I'll have to talk to everyone and see where we will be exactly (all I know is that we are going to be out on the boat so that means anywhere from Gig harbor to the San Juans) but I would love to join you if I can.

I'm in and might bring a friend (shut up! I do have friends!)

Well, sadly, Jayme, neither Gig Harbor nor the San Juans are anywhere NEAR where the party will be, but I'll send you the info anyway. What's your email address?

Actually, Nunavut isn't really cold in Spring/Summer, those seasons are just a lot shorter there than in, say, Minnesota. Or another state where you get all 4 seasons (no matter what people in a place like Tennessee say, hee hee). :D Actually, I can name all 50 states if given enough time, but I couldn't possibly place them on a map. I had to laugh at one of my rez friends one year who attempted to name the provinces and territories - and got 3, including guessing that Toronto was a province. LOL. That's OK though, like I say my Amercian geography knowledge is just as bad.

YAY! I not only got a mention, I got a WHOLE paragraph, AND the threat of involuntary incarceration! WOOHOO! I have ARRIVED, people!

Grr. And you choose to do it on the one weekend I've accepted two extra shifts at work. Yes, I'm insane enough to drive down there to knit. No, I'm not insane enough to turn down a lot of money for working instead.

It's my second job, where I don't actually do much of anything, so I'll have my own personal little Dulaan knit-in all by myself that day at work.

Do I sound pathetic enough yet?

Last Ever? LAST EVER?? what do you mean by this ominous sounding statement?
It takes me at least a couple of years to get the hang of something.

I could drive up to Oklahoma, through Arkansas. I'll knit something up on the way there and mail it. Then knit something whilst in Oklahoma and mail that from there. So two more states. Oh, my Mom is in Oklahoma so it's not as crazy as it might have first seemed. LOL Kansas is covered but I might be able to squeeze into the corner of Missouri if need be.

Hi
This is my first visit to the site. I live in the Canadian province called Quebec, the pesky province with an identity crisis. The one that often thinks about divorcing itself from Canada. But I digress. I'm in. What do I have to do?

Just so you know how fun you all are, I briefly considered this. Even though I usually *get off work* at 1 pm, here in my town a couple of hours away...

(I do however, have a pile of hats collecting. And if my state senator had her way, they would be from EAST Washington.)

I wasn't going to speak up until I'd actually mailed the box, but if you're tallying up promises, you can add Missouri to your list.

Tres bon!!! We have a Quebecker!!! Bienvenue!! Knit something for a child in Mongolia.

Yeah, we Canadian are a wily bunch!! We are constantly overshadowed by the United States, so we get very excited to be acknowledged!! Wow, and Americans are even learning our geography!! I think we deserve a national award for this one.

hmmmmmm...mary beth's sister in delaware counts but my friend in tennessee doesn't? i'd contemplate sulking but it takes far too much energy (and looks pretty damn silly besides ;o))

honest you can add tennessee to the list...(see previous entry's comment, possibly lost in the canadian discussion *grin*)

thanks for the sweater, mary lou :o) got it printed off and hope to cast on soonly (just have to see if i have any needles free!)

ryan,if i'm not being too nosy/cheeky/presumptuous...why is it that this is the last year for the dulaan project? :o| or have i missed an explanation someplace?

Dearest Ryan, Lovey,

Canada calling, darling. And I represent the province of Saskatchewan. Though you haven't received a parcel from me, yet, it will get there by the deadline. Last year both my aunt, also from here, and I sent in our items. She will be sending hers along shortly, too.

If it helps, I used to live in the Northwest Territories and could have something mailed from there as well, just to round out your lists. Let me know on that one, my dear.

In the mean time, my mother, who was born in Saskatchewan, has already sent her box to you. Unfortunately her current post mark is British Columbia because she's visiting her grandson there this year. Does that count anyway?

Best of luck for your goals and we'll be sure to do our part to help. Nice of you to remember us in your plans! :)

(Please read the entire preceding comment with tongue in cheek and a Mrs. Howell accent!!!)

Thanks for the link Ryan, it just so happens that my last umpteen photos were about Dulaan!
And I am the NJ sister, which you already know since you put The Garden State (cough cough) on your list.

Off to make some mittens...

Little toques are on their way from Alberta. You can check that off your list. Last year there was an assortment of sweaters sent but since this year I moved from California to Alberta I am really hoping that a smaller collection from a previously unrepresented province is just as helpful. :)

Curses! Foiled again! :)

But I am ecstatic to see that Saskatchewan and Alberta are now being represented properly and without need for my machinations.

Guess I'll just send my so-called "California" box then. But regardless of my physical location, my heart is in the Prairies.

(and I might just knit and post a hat from Calgary while I'm there, to boost the Canadian content)

Yeah, two more provinces!! Ok . . . I'll shut up now. :)

My husband drives long haul across Canada. He's been everywhere except up North! He is on his was back from Quebec, driving in New Brunswick as I type, and was to Newfoundland just a couple of days ago! If he knew how to knit I would make him knit a hat at each truck stop he stays in in each province! He normally goes from Nova Scotia to Alberta, so that would take into account 8 provinces! Maybe knitters could throw items onto his flatdeck as he drives by... They'd have to label the items so we know which province they're from, though! Somehow I don't see it happenin'....
