Ooof, that picture. Gordana is half-way out the door, April is giving FACE, FACE, pose and FACE, and both Kinley and Michael Costello are smirking like fools. PS: Sweet P, take it down a notch.

I think we are overwhelming the site with traffic. It was there a minute ago, I swear! Trouble shooting now...

OOOhhh--pretty sock yarn!

My favorite joke is not suitable for family reading! This one is good though.
Timothy Leary (of LSD fame) was giving a lecture on LSD, and how it works on the body. A woman was sitting the front row, nodding and smiling at everything he said. He thought to himself, how can she possibly understand the altered states of consciousness that occur with LSD? After the lecture, he found the woman and said "Ma'am, how can you relate to the altered states of consciousness under LSD?" She smiled, leaned forward and pattted his hand, and said "Honey, I knit".

Hi! My second favorite hobby after knitting is the violin. I have always wanted to play the violin and decided, after my children went off to college to learn. That was nearly 20 years ago and now I am part of an adult/amateur ensemble that mets every month to play.

So funny- I noticed the change this year. It feels weird to me to hear people say just plain Stock Show.

Hey Hannah! Susan here- I'm using my web designers log-in. I'm here for another week. Loving being home, even if I am spending most of my time locked up in my mom's study.

I knit everyday on my daily commute to NYC from Hyde Park. I am also being treated for breast cancer at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC. Last week, while waiting for my daily treatment, I met a 15yr. old darling girl and her father from Marlboro, NY. She is being treated for cancer as well. I was thinking today on my trip home, I would knit her something warm to comfort her during her daily trip and commute to comfort her. I am not sure what I will knit (maybe a throw for the car ride down or a beautiful scarf to keep her head and neck warm).
I hope I win!

What I would knit is fair isle tunic with fair isle on the top and on the bottom of the cuffs. I’d use patterns below in bars (ladder stitch, seed stitch, …) separated by a thin cable. I’d dye the wonderful colors myself using slate blue, forest green, black, burnt orange, and a deep burgundy. The tunic would have a ‘slit’ neck with tie icords, and side slits (I’m an ample) for comfort. I designed the fair isle pattern myself. It creates a “mountain-y” sunset pattern, that reminds me of my years living in Colorado. Thats what I’d do with your wonderful creamy yarn.

The pepsi typeface looks really great... if this is 1998. It looks dated today -- it's going to look incredibly out of date in five years.

I like the mark, and I'm also happy to see Optima used so appropriately -- I never thought it deserved the bad rap it gets. However, the kerning on the word mark is pretty poor, especially between the B and R and the R and E of breast and the N and C of cancer. It's really detracting from the logo for me.
