Just so everyone knows, I make booties because they are fast and easy. No, I am not pregnant, nor particularly wanting to be. Thanks for asking. So there! *sniff*

Why can't I be allowed to make booties if I like them, huh?

Cordelia and family are back safely after being evacuated for a wildfire. Yay!

Please everyone, keep Cordelia and her family in your thoughts. They've had to evacuate because of a fire near their home!
Hugs, Cordelia and hope you're back safely soon.

Wishing all my blogdom friends a happy and fulfilling 2006!

A dear friend, B, has once again sent me a thoughtful elf dropping…I got these two baby pattern booklets, one of them from my Amazon wishlist. I just love the pastel shades!


I can't wait to start making some of these.

Yup, I've got a few….

First, I've signed up for Secret Pal 7. (expensive hobby, the husband calls it) I will be subsidising a few national postal services. This round runs from the middle of January till the end of March. From what I see, most of the participants seem to be knitters rather than crocheters…hmmm. Has it occurred to you that as the singular participant from India (which I'm very likely to be) I have little or no chance of remaining secret? Talk about lost causes…. But you gotta try everything once, right?

The other secret I have is a SWIP! No, not a Swap, a SWIP – Secret Work In Progress. I cannot reveal what or for whom, but I'm learning a few things on this one. It needs a few pattern repeats, and I'm working from a chart the first time. Very proud of myself because I used my scanner to duplicate the pattern so that it had the number of stitches I need for the width I want the SWIP to be. I just hope I don't run out of steam on this one…

For "stageacter" who was looking for Denise Augostine's Crochet Paradise site, you can one used to be able to find it through webarchive.org here.
But checking today, I find that all I get from the archives is a domain registration site….Waah!

The Wayback machine is a good resource for finding any website that has become defunct, just enter the last address you remember for it and it gives you the cached archive. Sometimes pictures don't load properly, but you can often do a directory search and see them.

From Sara's blog, I couldn't resist!

You scored as Couch Potato Cat. Decorative pillow? No, that'd be you sitting on the couch, even still. Hmm. . . I'm guessing you have Web TV.

Please welcome the second crochet blogger from India……Yasmin! She does amazing, lovely work. Yay!!!

Yay! I got my first Crochetville elfing for the Xmas wishlist in the mail today! Took 7 days to reach me (fast by some standards), but what yummy stuff!

Here is a pic:

The yarn is Made in Italy for Yarns Brunswick (the company seems defunct now), colours are Ocean Blue and Hollyberry. It’s a fuzzy brushed 100% acrylic. Yummy!

Also in the package were 4 different flavours of Lipton tea: Plain, Honey, Lemon Ginseng and Mixed Berry. Should I drink these cold or hot? I’m more a cold coffee/iced tea person….

One Hershey bar (in fridge right now for resuscitation after the long journey reduced it to pulp).

Two pattern sheets (for baby cardigan and Xmas runner), a recipe for caramel corn (what is Karo syrup?) and a handwritten greeting card from Mumbles, my elf!

Yay again! Sure feels good to know someone thought of me…
