Kathy, from Milwaukee came over to Last Saturday Knitting with her friend Lynne. Kathy wanted to give me this perfectly apropos gift that she bought for me as a "Thank you" for organizing the Alt Knitting Camp aka Gourmet S'mores Camp. Now, when I see the WienerMobile in my neighborhood, I'll be ready!
Last Saturday Knitting was a gas, as usual. We had just about the largest gathering yet! It was all the usual suspects, only all of us were there. Usually, we top out around 6 knitters, but this time we had 10, plus Owen! Thankfully, the nice young man who works weekends seems happy to have us there.
I've been spinning on the Mixed Berries yarn and working on the plain grey knitting project. And of course, counting down the seconds until school starts tomorrow (for the little guy) and Wednesday (for Owen). And I've been sitting around on the porch, under the fan, waiting for this little heat wave to pass. Tomorrow will be steamy again, then nice cooler weather blows in. Ah! True autumn can't be far behind, right?

Dude, you're going to hurt your back if you try to flip the Wienermobile. ovlnb
Awesome pack of tools! (Either I was sleeping and missed the presentation, or I left Last Saturday Knitting a little bit early :-) Very fun, none-the-less...
The husband of the administrative assistant for PT school used to **drive** the wiener mobile! I had to stop by the PT school office with both of my boys in tow last week Thursday, and they noticed a picture of the wiener mobile in her office, so she elaborated about the various "generations" of wiener mobiles. Who knew?
I'm pretty sure we amuse the coffee guy. When I was waiting for my drink, he commented that it was, in fact, the last Saturday of the month. I chuckled and replied, "Yeah, here come the crazy ladies!" His response: "Oh, I don't think of you as the crazy ladies, I think of you as the Victor Allen sweatshop." Yeah, either works...
Hee hee, you'd better watch it, you're getting a reputation with the weiners! ;-)
Yes, tomorrow is supposed to be 90, today was nearly 90, and after tomorrow--it's all downhill. Thank goodness!
I heard 60 for THursday! Thank goodness. Now to get knitting on more sweaters for myself.
I don't know why, but I just have a vision of you chasing the weinermobile down the street, waving those things.
Now that's a useful gift!
that's so funny :)
have you seen the weiner mobile again??
(way behind... just dragged home from the latest evacuation, hoping not to have another)
