I haven't even touched it yet because I don't have the energy nor the time right now. Too many knitting projects are in the works. But I am already imagining beautiful scarves made from my sock yarn stash.<br>Oiyihttp://www.oiyi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226527138018237076.post-35956434559899056282009-10-01T19:18:11.000-04:002009-10-01T19:18:11.000-04:00what fun finds. you will have to show us your fin...what fun finds. you will have to show us your finished creations.<br>darlenehttp://journeyingfive.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226527138018237076.post-68354622861041253672009-10-01T16:56:11.000-04:002009-10-01T16:56:11.000-04:00Awesome thrifting!!!

I just discovered yesterday that there is such a thing as a "Crafting Cruise" (awesome!) but they all seem to be focused on only one craft (a knitting cruise, a beading cruise, etc.). Don't you think we need to organize the flickr peeps (and other interested parties) and do a multi-craft cruise? think of the possibilities! or.... maybe I should just go to squam next year, eh? skip all the added gratuity and cheesy entertainment. still.... can you imagine being free to work on any one of, say, 20 crafts at your own pace and whim? sorry. this comment got long. maybe i should blog about it instead.<br>abcgirlhttp://www.jayandcarissa.com/carissa/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7226527138018237076.post-44971578280117235642009-09-30T19:11:04.000-04:002009-09-30T19:11:04.000-04:00Wow, great finds!
