My Olympic glory (thanks all for the kind comments on the shrug) I've reached another pinnacle of knitting/blogosphere achievement. I'm so proud. The readership of my blog has expanded beyond my St. Louis friends, family, and like-minded blogger-friends -- you know, those who mostly agree with me and leave soothing, encouraging comments. Which I love and cherish.
I've been left a flame. Or what passes for one in my world -- hey, I'm no Harlot or Wendy, you know? It made my heart sing.
40 Days for Others
So, today is Mardi Gras. You know what that means. And look at all the great knitters who've signed up to knit for charity! And there are more out there just doing their thing -- knitting for charity like they always do. Knitters are great and generous folks, you know? I've resized the button, so if you need a smaller one for your sidebar, use the one that is in mine. And send me updates on your charity knitting -- I'll compile the updates for Sunday. I'm really looking forward to hearing from all of you. And, of course, it's not too late to sign up. Just send me an email or snag the button. Look here for an explanation of the knitalong. Knit on.
Just checking in on what you are doing...I need to do some reading up. Your sweater looks phenomenol. I love wearing mine and hope that you are as well, and that we'll get to see a photo soon.
Much appreciation from down here in Florida!

I miss you & yours! Haven't had 1 second to myself - being surrounded with tax returns since forever! I remembered your blog tonite - and I'm feeling especially nostalgic! I wore the scarf you knit for me Wednesday & was complemented over & over - even heard it said that you must have gotten my knitting gene! (Nothing like taking credit for YOUR talent) Love to those two beautiful kids who smile at me everyday from their pictures in front of my desk!

It is a privilege to know you, Ann! I will keep you informed.

I'm getting ready to make some yarn choices - I'm thinking of making some child sized cardigans - but not baby. You're awesome to think of this charity knitting project Ann. I'll keep you updated on my progress. I've gotta put the button on my sidebar! :)

If anyone is looking for an outlet, I'm actually having a contest to support the knitting project at Interim House, over on my blog. Not so much knitting for others, but giving them the tools to learn and do it themselves.

I'm knitting for Dulaan and Ocoze Huyaku*, in addition to sending Interim House periodic packages.
