What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle: I frogged the Bella's Mittens, based on size problems. They will be resumed when the right size of Addi's happens along.
I am also re-starting the Why Shawl. I am also creeping along on the Eliina Shawl, if only I could count properly.

I have purchased some exquisite baby camel fluff and some dark grey merino from WC Mercantile on Etsy. I am finished spinning on the bamboo fiber from Jo!


Strategy: Remember to treat your friends as your friends, not as your enemies, no matter how bad you are feeling.


Something I Really Like: 2 new podcasts: the Faer Knitters podcast and Here's to Ewe, out of Vegas and ya gotta love that "Drunk in Vegas" segment!


Blather: Well, it was mixed in with the strategy, but a bit about nasty inmate/patients.
