thanks Kaderin!

you can do it!

Weeellll...based on most loom knit patterns....no I can't.
Patterns for really pretty shawls are hard to come by. And are a bit expensive. Though I may celebrate my raise by buying another e-book from a pattern creator on Ravelry if I decide on one I like. I think she has 3 or 4 shawl pattern compilations, but I usually love only 1 patter per book.
XD

ah, i gotcha.

or... you could learn to crochet? come on over and i'll teach you. :)

How about you come over here? XP

Would love to learn crochet. If only to make cute amigurimi stuff. Like knock-off pokemon. And kitties.
XD

Also, I will say that I do have a few shawl patterns that actually are really pretty, but I just haven't had the time to make them yet.
Mainly this one:

Was gonna make it for a friend as a wedding shawl, but didn't have the time. And then ended up losing that friendship afterall...

hmm.... roadtrip! i'll be there in.... uh... where are you again? XD

and ooooh that IS pretty!

Montana.
It's probably a bit of a trip from where you live.
XD

It's incredibly rare for anyone to actually live within 1-2 states (or fewer than 10 hours away by car)from me. Glitch, surprisingly, is actually fairly close to me...though without knowing exact location I don't know exactly how close, but I think I estimated on the moderate to high side being only around 5-6 hours away by car.

5-6 hours is about how long it takes to get across PA - my younger daughter goes to school out in Pittsburgh, and i'm near Philly!

ok, so, i'll be there in about a week! XD

Yes! Perfect timing.
XD

I...honestly don't know how long it takes to get across Montana tbh. But a lot of the area is open space and highways so....even though it's one of the biggest states, it's probably surprisingly quick compared to smaller, but more densely populated areas.
What I do know is that from where I live, to Denver, CO is about a 12-13 hour drive.

LOL! i wish i had a week off to do that... but unfortunately, that's something i just don't have the money for. *sigh*

Totally relatable.
I wish I had a week of to do...anything.
I'm frantically trying to do math to see if I can afford maybe 4 days off in June to visit my sibling in Denver tbh.
They asked if I wanted to go to Pride down there. Which...I kinda do, but kinda am bad with large crowds, especially large crowds of strangers. So idk for sure. But would be nice to visit the sib either way.
BUT I can either pay an estimated $450+ to fly, OR pay an estimated $170+ (round trip for the car rental if I keep it for the duration of the trip), not including gas, to drive. And if I'm lucky can make the trip down in one day. XP
And that doesn't include spending money. And possibly hotel/motel stay if I can't stay with the sib.

That's really pretty!! :3

I agree! That illumination is gorgeous!

agreed!

and yay for visiting your sib! :)

also, check yer trades. nothing bad. :D

Haha...yeah. Not sure if I can make the visit this year, but probably can next year for sure.

And omg, yay, thank you!
<3
