Happy Saturday, Everyone!

Hope you all are enjoying some nice weather and getting a chance to relax.

Lots of good progress being made on our blankets, as updated below, including some that have been in blanket-purgatory for a while. Some new ones as well, being started by justbeth and mdc550 (who donated the yarn for the Spumoni blanket, thanks!).

My online page a day calendar on all things "green" said today that knitting, crocheting, and all things crafty help the environment, as making "
beautiful, useful objects for your own home and family and to give as gifts means fewer things to buy, and more control over the materials you’re bringing into your life and others'."

Right on. Of course, they've never seen me in a yarn shop, if they think knitting means I buy less stuff ;-)

Have a great weekend Northeasters!
