Thanks to Leslie!!

Thanks to Leslie, I have found Bloglines. I know that I am a bit behind, since I have seen their icon on many blogs - but what a fun little thing. As soon as it is all set, there will be less flipping time and more knitting time, yipee!!

Ever since I saw knitty yesterday, all I can think of is the dashing wrist warmers. While I know I need to make them, I have to root through my stash tonight and see what will work. This yarn diet is rough - okay, really its not - but its so much easier to just go to my LYS and purchase with out thinking.

And there is knitting here - the second round of my hush, hush dress is 20 rows into the 100 decreasing rows - if I would quit knitting other things, it would probably go faster. Although, I am really happy with the progress. Then there's happy green knucks. And a couple of baby hats to work on while I run errands...

Oh, and I saw this bookworm thing on roxtarchic's blog - it looked fun and wasted the last few minutes of my work day ;-). So here it goes....
