This sale is happening now in my Ravelry store at http://www.ravelry.com/stores/kraziknitz-by-paula. A flat discount of 20% on all patterns sales until 06/20/2016. I'll have one more type of sale before the end of the month. I haven't decided what type of sale it will be. If you have any suggestions, you can leave your comments below and I will take them under consideration.
I am still working out the particulars of the owl adoption, but should have more info in a day or so. I may have a special thread on my group at Ravelry to reply to, since from there I can private message the lucky adoptive parent from there. I may have to limit the number of applications, but I am still working on how to make it fair for everyone who would like to apply. She's a special girl and I want her to get a good home.
I want to keep everyone's information safe and secure. Doing the notification and obtaining personal information, such as mailing address, etc. might be easier from Ravelry due to the private messaging feature, instead of this little blog where anyone might see it. We all must be extra careful these days. It's a shame it has to be that way, but it is our world these days. Don't get me started on that subject......

Adopt an owl
One of my owls recently retired from her glamorous job as a shop model. She has been thoroughly loved for the last year or so, but now has a desire to become a one person owl. I will be putting her up for adoption through this blog. Her new person must reside within the U.S., due to high postage costs these days. Sorry about that, because I do see that visitors from across the world do occasionally stop in to my little corner of the net. I may decide to send a pattern to someone, in lieu of sending my little owl (that way they can make their own), if they are not in the U.S., but would otherwise make a suitable adoptive parent. More info on adopting this owl soon. I will be posting her picture and requirements for being an adoptive parent. Stay tuned to this blog for further information.....

Another new beginning.....
My computer has been on the fritz, but I wanted to put a small post here about changes for me and a new beginning of sorts for me.
I have just retired from my day job after more than 30 years, but now I will have more time to devote to my family and my fiber life. More knitting and hopefully some new designs will be coming off of my needles, so that I can share them here, as well as at the Knit 'N Stitch boutique and Ravelry.
So, if you're checking this space on with any regularity, hopefully I can keep you interested with some new posts. I am planning on running a retirement sale at my Ravelry store, so check out my group for any announcements.
So I have a retirement plan, I plan on knitting!

2016...A new year beginning!
Just a shout out to let you know that this place is still on my radar....No real pattern news right now, as this is the time of year that I do most of my knitting for love. Some call it charity knitting, but I feel I do it from love of knitting and helping others. From around Thanksgiving until around Valentine's Day, I try to work on items that I will give to someone else.
The main recipient is a Ravelry group called For The Children of Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge is one of the reservations in South Dakota, where the Oglala and Lakota Sioux tribes reside. It is a very cold place and is always in need of most things. They don't have access to shopping, like most of the US. There are no Walmarts, Targets, or other places that offer a wealth of retail goods. That and the fact that this is one of the most under served and under funded reservations in the US. They don't have casinos or other money making ventures to help support the residents, so they are in need of most things almost all of the time.
This year one of the projects is for a new women's shelter on the reservation. I am knitting hats and other items to send to the residents. I am also trying to set up a few little kits with essentials, such as a hand knit cotton washcloth, soap, toothbrush, etc. for the comfort of some of the ladies.
Knitting for any group is good for the soul, but I like this group. Their motto is "Make whatever makes your heart sing". I can make hats and baby sweaters, or cotton washcloths galore.
Sometimes they have drives for other items as well. Before school started, they adopted a school on the reservation. We sent school supplies for the children. I also put together a teacher goody box, filled with packages of motivational stickers, chalk, and some small office supplies. I had fun doing it, so now every time I go into a dollar store I look for teacher stuff and buy a couple of dollars worth at a time. You would be surprised how it adds up over time. When the time comes next year, and they have picked another school I will already have a nice little stash of stuff to send.
This time of year I also get a chance to try out new patterns. I will try to post a few pictures of some of the ones that I am trying out this year.
Have a blessed and prosperous new year. And above all, thanks for reading this little corner of the Internet. I will try to be more diligent about keeping this spot updated.
