Knitting friends are the best!

Last Friday night, Joanne brought me a little surprise! It's an Ultimate Storage Container in the latest color...Pink!! Thanks Joanne! After having such a rough week last week, I really appreciate it. Friends just have a way of lifting my spirit.

I had actually been thinking of ordering one of these containers to store some of my DPN's when I travel, but I never got around to it! Inside the tube is a little plastic divider that divides it into 4 sections. Cool, huh? Joanne and I share a love of all things gadgety! We both love little knitting gadgets, and go out of our way to get them. We know this about each other. It's kind of a sickness...I mean, who needs 5 chibis? I guess I do...because I want one in each color! It's sick, I know.

After a week of sporadic knitting...I'm back in the groove. That sure feels good. I'm making some progress, and I have an FO to tell you about! Whoo hoo! That will have to wait until Friday though!

**if you haven't seen Joanne's "Snake Socks"...go check them out! Today is the last day to get a free copy!**

Oooh, I wanna see the FO! That looks like a fun tool, the container. Hopefully I'll see you at this week's end.

Ah ha! The mystery is solved. There was a sudden spike in requests for the Snake socks. I thought it might be because this is the last day, but it was more than that. I hope everyone has fun with their Snakes.

You're very welcome to the storage container. I'm glad that you like it.

See you soon.

Damn. So, now I have to go buy an Ultimate Storage Container too. Because I, too, am addicted to toys. And of course I need to buy one for my Secret Pal, and...

You bear responsibility here! :-)

Great to hear that you are feeling better. Lots of nice yarn there for your lace stole. Let me know if you ever got the package I sent you.

Take care,

I loved the yarn that you sent Marisol! I'm such a bum for not emailing you to tell you that I received it! I'm going to blame the tooth problems last week...that's it...it's the tooths fault! Seriously though, I LOVED the yarn you sent for the afghan...and the little extra Malabrigo for me was perfect!!! Thanks!

I'm addicted to Chibi's too. Sadly, I am missing the pink one.

Hey Stacey! I just found your site. You are so cute with all your knitting! I looked at Alice's page, she is so adorable! I can't wait to meet her!

Love the container, and the mitred afghan! It does look huge! Anyway, I was eyeing the teapot behind the Ultimate Storage Container.....I collect teapots and I'm always looking for unique ones. Yours is beautiful!
