What a week! First I got my gift certificate from Judy’s Book (I know I told you I’m a “City Editor”, and we periodically get perks). Then my One Skein Secret Pal gave me a BBW gift certificate (remind me to show you what I got when it comes. It is very knitting related [...]
Look what I’ve been lugging around all week:
I know I’m the queen of tangled yarn.
This is option #2 for my One Skein Secret Pal gift. On a related note: thank you so much to my One Skein Secret Pal who sent me a very generous gift certificate today! Pampering and yarn, who can ask for [...]

2. Whose blogs do you read every day?
I just signed up (well, organized) at Bloglines, but essentially it’s Jennifer, Jen, Shannon, Aija and whoever else updates frequently.
3. Have you ever met other [...]
I finally got around to updating my Free Patterns page. Basically I decided to try out Bloglines (I felt really lame at only 3 subscribers — why don’t you subscribe even if you don’t read regularly just to make me feel more popular? ) and found out that my Free Patterns page has more [...]
I’m doing all purple over here because my Knit Sock Kit Swap and One Skein Secret Pal(s) both like purple. So I decided to dye some yarn. I pulled out my Wool2Dye4 SuperSock yarn and it was much better than the last batch. It definitely didn’t cause me to be untangling for days on [...]
I am totally missing going to any sort of knitting meetup. First we were gone for 1/3 of the summer, then we had tons of things to get settled, and now BR has been quasi-promoted (he got the title last year, but he has to use it this year) and can’t come home early even [...]
