Monday morning randomness

My new favorite Podcast: Answer Me This Podcast -- often rude at times and definitely something for not-easily-offended adults listening privately. Helen and Olly speak their minds and they're damned funny. Well, I think so, anyway.

---

Imogen is FINISHED. As Jacquie told me to, I trusted the pattern and it fits really nicely. I realize I owe this blog photos of both my Gypsy projects [Imogen and the purple jacket] and will beg someone at the Purl tomorrow to take them. Pony pants for everyone!

---

I'm back on the long-term laceweight stockinette scarf. It grows easily and doesn't often require me even to look at it as I knit. A perfect KIP project. When [if ever] I finish this one, I'll cast on another with a new skein of laceweight. Because I don't think I could have enough of these scarves, and knitting them is a mindless joy.

Thanks for the tip on the podcast - my kids don't catch rudness in English just yet, so that's convenient. Always looking for new things to listen to. :)

Are there pics in this posting? Cant see'em.

Beautiful work in progress.

Looking for knitters who want to make hats for nuns in need.

Please check my blog if you're interested. Feel free to pass on the word.

they're little clover needle stoppers, but i can't find them in their current catalog. i think i bought them at sweet home in First Markham Place, north of Toronto. They get stuff directly from Japan. I didn't realize they were not easily available!

Hi Amy--I have a question for you about copyrights and the Knitty patterns, but I couldn't figure out how to send you a personal message. Would you mind sending me an email at careynev AT earthlink DOT net ?

Thanks!
