We're talking record temps here on Long Island, yesterday we hit 10 degrees, and it's likely to dip even lower over the weekend.
I'm not complaining...really, although my RSD is miserable when the weather is like this and my stimulator is wicked when it snows. I hope to get some knitting practice in. If I can't I'll practice sewing!! YAY!
See, who can't love being snowed in???
I'm most likely going to treat myself to a paraffin treatment which I was gifted from a lovely freecycler a few months back and that my friends is heaven on Earth to a girl with hands like mine.

Your stash may be in danger...
I just learned about something extremely disturbing! A new child product safety law is threatening to to turn all of our artisan handcrafted heirlooms into contraband!
I love my country, but the lawmakers at times are seriously warped! Take a look at this and decide for yourself...

Secret Buddy!
I had so much fun making stuff for my secret buddy this Winter! But boy was it tough to keep it a secret, lol I'm really not a good secret keeper, I slip since I am a talker, so thank goodness I only type talk to her, LOL.
But it was a challenge making things for one of the most talented women I know!Here are a few pictures of what I was able to surprise her with...
KAL Participants
OK! The unofficial start date of the KAL is January 12th, but remember, this is a non-traditional knit a long, so everyone is working at their OWN pace, no pressure!
I've decided to keep a list of everyone who wants to participate in the KAL and their progress. Starting with ME-

Knit a Long
I think I may have come up with the greatest idea ever! How many people want to learn to knit, but have that mental block? I can't possibly be the only one!!! So...I was wondering if I made it my New Years Resolution to learn to knit could I maybe get some moral support from my friends on my yahoo group?
WELL....
Of course I did, and when I posted it,I realized I wasn't alone! There are others who want to learn but are afraid to pick up those intimidating needles.
So I casually mentioned to Nina that maybe...with her help if we could get one project together easy enough for us to learn on but not too easy for those who want to brush up on their skills, could we quite possibly develop a learners Knit a Long?
and she said, YES!!
YAY!!! She found me this vintage pattern, which is GORGEOUS, of a shoulder shawl, done in a sport weight yarn.
This is going to be FUN FUN FUN!!!
