Thanks, Blake... I sent it to my favorite knitter. It's nice but somehow I
don't think that thing is for young kiddlets... I don't know what they teach
toddlers these days but somehow I think one needs to be prepared for a lot
of creepy questions.

Good find Blake. Don't know if I'd make it (already have a lot on the
needles so no time for this Easter anyway) but I know a few other knitters
who might :-) I'll post the link to a forum I'm on on www.ravelry.com.

socks are fun... but rarely as reaction-provoking as knitted lab
projects

I remember reading about those on Tsock Tsarina's site. Look challenging.
Lee, are you on Ravelry?

Will look for you :-) I'm rhondda on there. I'm not good at updating
stash or projects either. Last couple of big things I made were gifts
for people and I neglected to take photos before I gave them away! Only
have a couple of things on there.

I've only made a couple of pairs of socks, but keen to do more. Haven't
been getting much knitting done lately though as I've had some problems
with my shoulders - diagnosed as ac joint arthritis and bursitis. The
bursitis has eased up a bit, but if I knit for too long my shoulders
start to play up. Very annoying.

If my dd hadn't just left for Japan, and I was a better knitter, I'd
ask if she wanted one of those bunnies. She's planning on becoming a
pathologist. Been to 2 autopsys so far, and hasn't passed out yet<g>

nothing like putting your bell changes on your socks
if you haven't read the book, i recommend it. it was good. i'm
currently reading Pride & Prejudice & Zombies... because, you know,
Jane Austin always meant to include the zombies. it's funny & the
illustrations are a nice mix of Victorian and macabre (& the next
sock in my Jane Austin club is P&P)
