I seem to be writing a lot here these days:)  That is in part because I feel as if this is more private than some other places I write.   I am very nervous about the trip my daughter and I are taking, we leave on friday and will be gone for a week.  I am over preparing, packing tons of stuff for her to do and praying she gets her moontime this week so that it will be mostly over before we get to Boston. 

I wound a ton of yarn from skeins or bowling balls into centre pull balls today using my ball winder and my swift.  I also like using the empty toilet roll method:)  I decided to look for the 12" circ that I seem to need while I am in Boston.

Here are some awesome links for today:

And last, plastic versions of skins (covers) for all size and kinds of devices like the ipod or a laptop, I admit to being tempted to get one for my i phone that I use as an ipod touch and also my mac laptop.  I didn’t see how much they cost, but they sure appealed to this knitter:

Love the knitted ice cream. And yes, I like OD for similar reasons, but also because I’ve been here for 11 years!! With a smile…
