Jenny's on Ravelry now!

Yep, I have brought another to the yarn side... (Actually, she has been a knitter/crocheter since I have known her, thanks to her Mom being a 4H leader) but now I have led her to the Knirvana that is Ravelry (free patterns!).

I also introduced her to the gift shop at Charitable Union, where they sell not only beautiful hand-made items, but also hooks, needles, threads, yarns, craft kits, patterns, books.... you get the idea. At thrift-shop prices, no less. While I picked up a copy of "500 Full-Size Patchwork Patterns" by Maggie Malone (hardcover, $2) and a couple of quilting magazines, and an almost-full skein of yarn, and an antique crochet hook, all for just under $5, Jen found some embroidery kits ($3 each, in original packaging, never opened) and other goodies; then we crossed the street to Kricketts where we both found excellent deals (of course, it's Krickett's for crying out loud!),and finally, across Calhoun Street to BC Burgers. The Calhoun Corner Triple-threat, as I like to call these three stores. Oh yeah, major hat trick there at Calhoun and Franklin Streets in Battle Creek! Yarn, used books, and the best burgers in three counties. Trifecta!

Yep, another convert. I'm happy. {grin}

Best of all, because of the proximity to KCC we were able to do all this and still get back to campus in time to finish up our work for our classes. With time to spare. And get the best parking spot in the lot! Woot!!
