Alright...how many of you spent the last two nights immersed in Spike Lee's documentary about Hurricane Katrina called When The Levee's Broke Ooh...me, ME! HBO, people. Look for it, TIVO it, watch it. You and all of your friends and well, every American needs to see this. I think that they should make the networks pre-empt mind numbing sit-coms to get this information out to everybody. If this was a middle class Florida town, would there still be such a mess and diaspora? I think NOT. Check it out. Please.
Alright, Tinkerbelle got her daughter to the airport last night (I am sure that I will hear the details today) but before she got her off to the study abroad adventure to Italy, she made Danielle a great cap out of Fat Bunny in the Little Devil colorway. She calls it The Italian Job. Yes, she is publishing the pattern and we are going to kit this for about $20. (!) :o) See the bloom? It has just begun... Have a wonderful time in Italy, kiddo. We know that your head will be warm.
You know...my ears have been burning lately. There is some sort of murmuring coming from smack dab in the middle of the country, in the city on the river where they display Gigantamundo locomotives high on a hill over the freeway, "just because". There are a couple of young wimmen hunched over a hot computer microphone, going on and on about knitting. I KNOW how much fun are THEY having and when I hear the dog woofing in the background, it cracks me up. You see at Lunchtime today, Tink fires up her Ipod into my speaker thingie and puts on Lime&Violet to see if she can blow my mind with somebody waxing poetic about my sock yarn. What a hoot, is all that I can say. :o) They have links on their blog to their podcasts. Check 'em out.
Today has been very productive. Tink came back to work and was buzzing around with all sorts of ideas! I dyed more of the Fat Bunny (Tink thinks that I should call it something like Dreeeeeeeeamy, to get across just how dreeeeeeeeeeamy it feels...we'll see.)
There's this. Julie can finally have her wish
fulfilled. Milk & Honey.
Very Cute!! And the hat is awesome too!

First off, Tink's daughter is adorable. Second off, love the yarn and the pattern! So when are you gonna post it? Yum, yum.

Love the hat and the daughter, and that Milk and Honey is just asking to be petted. Have a great trip to Italy, Tink's Belle!

'Fat Bunny' is a great name for the yarn. Tink's daughter is cute as a button and I love the hat! Although, seriously, Lisa, I'm going to have to stop checking out your blog. All these great new yarns and colors? Too tempting! That darned new business venture has me on a rather strict yarn budget and all I can think is "..mmm, must buy Lisa's yarn..." You are a bad influence. ;->

Bad influence......yes....that sounds like Lisa!!*GRIN*
If I went nuts on Lisa's website, there wouldn't be any money left for food for the kids...and my bank would be very unhappy with me!*GRIN*
