A couple of shoutouts to...

...Carolyn who sent over 6 skeins of Rowan linen drape for free. Free! Thank you Carolyn! This is what one skein has produced so far:

Another from Adrienne V. Spring 05, this one I call 'Celia,' the name of the original yarn to use. It is 100% silk. I dislike silk. It gives off that tell-tale stink, is expensive, doesn't drape well on sticks like me, and comes out of a bug's anus. I had been thinking of using Cotton Fleece again for this and then Linen Drape came along, et voila.

...Allegra, for abandoning you yet again.

...Jeannine, an old buddy from college whom I haven't seen since graduation day. Actually I think the last place we saw each other was at the ice cream shop on Hope St (?) the day before graduation and you said very sternly to me, "Shh! Say no goodbyes!" and well, we didn't. Now Jeannine is in Amsterdam and I am in Boston. We email occassionally and tried to meet up when I was in the area last November (unsuccessful). Long gap of silence until yesterday when I get an email saying she found this site while surfing other knitting blogs, hee hee. So hello Jeannine, I miss you, send brownies.

...London. Love you, London. Hate you, Bush. At the end of the day I blame everything on him.

Hey, what a great blog you have! Your taste in sweaters is fantastic; every one you've made is one I love to make! I can't wait to see what the finished phildar sweater looks like.

I agree about Bushie! I found your site whilst googling for others who were knitting from loop d loop. Nice blog. Beautiful knitting. I can't believe you've only been knitting for a year. Wow!
