Thanks Pam
Pam, and a bunch of others did this. This is more interesting than what I’ve got going on right now (not finished shawl, house cleaning, getting rid of skunk smell….seriously), and I’m a band-wagon jumper.

I have no clever title
When I left you last post, I was frustrated by a day of driving all over NJ, a sick kid, etc., etc. I took a little trip on Thursday at lunchtime to a yarn store in Hoboken. Yarn shopping makes everything better, right? I went back to the office with 5 balls [...]
