Christening Gown Progress UPDATE
The Christening Gown for Emma Madeline is AT THE BODICE! For Real. The skirt is 27" of lace and is finished. Now I'll at least have a chance at getting it to my brother and sis-in-law before the kid gets to elementary school

I think I've got a unique marketable skill
Somebody needs to hire me to sniff out horse trailer scams on the internet. Really.
I'm still searching for a bigger trailer for my Shire mare, Kaylee - between knitting sessions on the Christening gown for the new niece (starting the BODICE NOW). I've gotten her into the old trailer, but she REALLY needs a bigger one. SO, I've been shopping around including on the internet.
It's pretty funny in a way. All the sites warn sellers to be wary of buyers running scams. I seem to be finding it more the other way around. There are the usual probably stolen trailers. There are the escrow scams. There are the bad divorce scams. And I seem to be finding ALL of them. I found one trailer listed on several sites that was in at least four different locations at the same time. And some of these are very cleverly worded. My theory is that at least one ad was or is valid and the others just copied the information from the real ad.
I'm sorry, as badly as I need a taller trailer, I'm not going to buy one from you if you won't take my cash or my cashier's check or my personal check OR YOU WON'T LET ME SEE THE TRAILER BEFORE I BUY IT.

Christening Gown Progress
22" of lacy skirt, and getting close to where I need to start the bodice. Which is REALLY good since I'm worried I may run out of yarn. Using a lovely cotton/rayon/silk blend: Svale by Dale. Lovely handle and a bit of sheen.
(Okay, I lied about being chatty - but I've been knitting!)

New Niece to Knit Christening Gown For
Born 6/30/08 at 3:33pm CDT, Houston TX - Emma Madeline.
And ask me if I even STARTED the Gown yet................Ahhhh, NO! I just sent a text to texknitter to ask her to scout Bluebonnet Yarn for suitable yarn when she's over there today................Yeah, I waited too long.
I've been talking about knitting a Christening Shawl since, oh about nine months ago.
Did I mention my family is WELL-known for procrastination?????
