All thumbs - winner #12

I am typing this with my thumbs. I am using my kindle. i do not like typing w/my thumbs. Why? because I am not 16 yrs old.

Hooray for Kim from Frozen Kiwiland!

Iam in Atlantic City. Yes, I am. We walked the boardwalk, ate cotton candy, jumped a few waves, gambled a few quarters, ate crab (he did; not me) and ice cream (both of us) and I finished the bSj.

Pics tomorrow. Heading out to the boardwalk one more time.

Yarnapalooza Winner #16


My second favorite crochet hook, a beautiful Brittany Birch. (My favorite crochet hook is a white plastic N of unknown origin.


Congratulations to a very good friend of mine, Peggy Jaegly, our Yarnapalooza Winner #16! PJ, I actually let out a little shriek when I tracked down Random Number Generator #103 and your name popped up! PJ is a knitter/writer/harpist/all around good person. We met many years ago when we were both new to central NJ and have been friends ever since. PJ lives in Maryland now but what's a few miles between friends?


Goldisox and I had our regular Monday date. We headed down to Cape May but ended up in Atlantic City instead where we enjoyed a free buffet at Harrah's and shamelessly people-watched. I actually saw a man with French-manicured toenails. He carried a floral totebag and wore pale peach-colored shorts. Those three facts almost overpowered the fact that he was staggeringly handsome. Clearly unavailable but movie star gorgeous. (Further strange observations on my other blog.) (Contests there too!)


I worked on my Outback Mohair Scraps Shawl all the way down and back up again. We listened to 1) the end of Bill Bryson's I'm A Stranger Here Myself and 2) the beginning of the first Stephanie Plum One For The Money.


A good time was had by all.
