Link Love: 2006 Knit-Alongs
Every once in awhile I’ll come across a weblog that lists a bazillion knit-a-longs and I’ll wonder how in the world the blogger found so many goodies and groups to enjoy. I know it’s quite possible to find some awesome KAL’s while browsing our favorite webpages, but if you’re anything like me, once you click that KAL button, you find the group is already full or the fun has already started. Bummer! So what’s a knitter to do? How about checking out the 2006 Knit-Alongs webpage. Tons and tons of KAL’s are listed which is awesome for those who are looking to participate in something special. And for those folks who want to advertise a swap or a KAL? A quick email will get the word out that you’re looking for KAL members. It’s a win-win webpage!

Summer is here and day-by-day things get busier and busier. With the kids at home and mid-summer barbeques at their peak, I don’t have much time with either my knitting needles or my computer. While a part of me is sad that I don’t have as much “me time” as I’d enjoy, another part of me wants to get outside and enjoy the nice weather while I can. Afterall, once it gets cold in my neck of the woods, it seems to stay cold for freaking forever!
So, since I don’t have the time that I’d usually have to chit-chat with everyone, I’m going to try to at least update this blog weekly with a “Link Love”. Granted, it won’t mean much reading here, but it should hopefully lead you to somewhere interesting.
Link Love: Annie’s Pattern of the Day.
So far all of the patterns have been crochet patterns, but for those who don’t know how to crochet, you just may find a pattern that inspires you to learn. Since some days are better than others, I would suggest that you check the page daily.

You know what’s fun? Making your own license plates.
Now don’t look at me that way. I haven’t lost my mind. It really can be a lot of fun to make your own license plates - that is, if you know where to go.
Check out the ACME License Maker and you’re bound to see what I mean. You can make your own license plates in a variety of states and styles. Below you’ll see two that I made - in New York 1973. What can I say? I’m a New Yorker and I <heart> my home.
Feel free to use either of the above images to link back to me at www.procrastiknitter.com. Eventually I’ll make some other linkback buttons, but for now I think these are kinda fun. Enjoy!
