Knitting with Jazzyfaz

Secret Pal Strikes!!!

So I came home from work and checked my e-mail and I received a gift card to KnitPicks from my Secret Pal.  That was such a nice surprise!  I immediately ordered two books from there that I have been longing for.  Thank you so much Secret Pal!!!!!!!!

Back from Vacation

So I just got back from a week at the beach and I had a great time.  I am sad to see it end.  I ate and drank and played cards but did not knit.  Not that I didn't bring any knitting.  I brought alot of it - I just didn't do any.  Can you believe it????  A whole week of free knitting time and not one stitch!

I was just catching up on e-mails and reading blogs and I came across Yarn Harlot's most recent post.  You all should check it out.  There is one very disturbed blogger who is harassing the Yarn Harlot.  Not sure why, because everyone should be proud of the country they come from.
