Never fails. There I go making big pronouncements, and then, faster'n you can say "order up," there's a napkin tied around my neck and I'm bellying up to a platter of my own words. How do they taste? I can't lie- they're a bit heavy. I think I'll just have a salad for dinner, thanks.

Dear Family: Everyone's getting livestock this year for Christmas. I have too much to knit.
My husband wonders why I fondle the Kid Silk whenever we are in London (honestly, it feels better in the motherland). Glad to see someone else like the Heifer Project. I have yet to find a better charity or gift to give the person who has everything.
Oh, loved the link for The Last Knit from the previous post (was watching while you uploaded this one). The hair was too, too much.

Rowan sucks you in every time does it? We'll pretend we didn't see yours if you pretend you don't see ours.
Heifer International is a great gift idea.

That is going to be an amazing sweater when it's done :o)

For that sweater in that color, I think it's worth it!

Oh! You're starting already!! I so want to start this sweater right this minute, but I am trying to finish one WIP first. It's killing me though.

I look forward to seeing your progress on that cardi. I was just looking at that pattern! Swoon....
Also, Heifer is an awesome organization. I have a couple of friends who work for them in Little Rock.

we've been known to gift a heifer in this household as well as several turkeys from Farm Sanctuary...
That pattern went to the top of my list the moment I saw it! Beautiful color...Rowan rocks, what can you do?

Can't wait to see this! Awesome
Posted by: Carol | September 30, 2006 at 06:57 AM
Ooo.... That is going to be lovely! You have a well rounded WIP list going, yes?
