Yeeee---Haw!!!!!

I am flying high after my presentation last night--talking about yarn and knitting can really get me going. I just don't have a receptive audience very often (except maybe for the dogs.) All I know is that it was around 7 and I started and then Dr. Mon said "this is a really nice yarn tour but we have to move on sometime" and it was 7:20. I have no idea if I talked only part of that time, all of that time.....its a YARN BLACKOUT!

You cannot get much past Mitch, he did call me on my re-using of a few slides (only three! I love the bulldozer joke!) from a class we had together in the summer. I did add more slides, but I really wanted to bore the class with bits of my life story and it WAS my five minutes of fame.

I was surprised that no one knew how cool knitting is. Someone even commented on one of the photos, it was some Pomatamus socks inside some very modern patent pumps. Good times!

I am really happy with my resources. I created two Subject Headings (knititng and knitting blogs) and one even had sub-groups after it, genius suggestion on Cheryl and Mike's part. Knitblogs right now has 21 entries; knitting has 17. I have also cross-referenced some of them with the teen site (like Knitty and the Anti-craft); teens need knitting too!

I know that the semester is winding down; it seems so long since I answered those reference questions for Slam the Boards back in September. I am trying to concentrate and celebrate my successes.....and maybe build up some momentum for finishing my Collection Development paper. Now if I could only write it about yarn.....
