Three Wishes

I had the most amazing day Monday. NBC’s Three Wishes which is on every Friday night at 9pm ET ; is in our town and I was asked to host Amy Grant for a visit in my shop and they brought the film crew in and she walked around the shop and invited us to the wish tent, which was set up in the center of our town square. I was able to go and make a wish, and my wish was for my husband to get a Tractor. Ok I will have to explain that one I know. You see he has been having to rent a tractor to do part of his business and the one that he has been renting has been having trouble and he has had to replace one part on it twice at $140 a pop. So when he goes out to do a small job the cost of the rental and the parts are making it cost prohibitive so he really needs a tractor of his own that is in good condition that he would just have to perform the regular maintance on. Well I got to tell my Wish to Amy Grant and she started telling me about her farm and how they had just bought a tractor and she said, “just let me see what we did with my old one” and they we said our goodbyes and left it at that. Even a old one that is in good condition would be great. I went back over to the tent a little while later and was able to meet 2 of the other host from the show Eric and Diane, they are very nice and friendly. I also was able to meet the head of Glassman Productions. They are the People behind The Average Joe Shows and are now producing Three Wishes. I will be in the audience tonight for the concert that will be on the square. I am so excited, I hope to also find out if the segment in my shop will be the one on the show. I think it will be a great boost for my business because when it airs the show will be watched not just by the people in this town but also by people all over the country. Ok on to the real reason you read this blog; The Knitting Content:I have been working on the felted bag from Altered Knits that was featured in Knits I really cannot wait to see how it felts, it is knit flat and then sewn up on two sides and felted. It is meant to be a laptop bag, I hope that it turns out right , I don’t think I can take another felted failure. I altered the pattern a bit by using #13 needles and Jo Sharp DK yarn. I choose the Jo sharp yarn because I really like the way it felts and in not totally smooth.. I will post a picture as soon as I get it sewn up.
