12 Interweave Knits and 1 Lucky Knitter


The Great Clean-Up continues. I have twelve back issues of INTERWEAVE KNITS (by far my favorite knitting magazine) and I'm looking for one kind-hearted knitter who will take them off my hands. They range from 1999 to 2003 or so, all in pretty darn good condition.


I'm having email trouble (so what else is new?) so leave your entry in comments and I'll assign you a number then let the RNG do its thing.

I almost forgot: the RNG will do its thing tomorrow night.
Tomorrow morning, however, I'll be doing a phone interview with Cheryl Nason, The Dallas Book Diva. I can't wait! Check out her website. There are some terrific reviews and MP3 interviews available.

Holy Snowflakes, Batman!

<== FO!

I finished the Snowflake Socks about two hours ago after a marathon 8-hour knitting frenzy today. My right hand looks like a claw. My shoulders hurt. My back aches. My eyes are blurry. But I am triumphant!

Does "triumphant" sound a little over the top to you? Maybe it does. But believe me when you accomplish something you never thought you could, completion feels like it should be celebrated with a marching band and a parade! How about a knitter's float for next year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? A whole band of knitters and their WIPs waving Lantern Moons and Addi Turbos at the cheering throng lining Broadway to greet them.


And is it me or do you find the inside of the socks even more interesting than the outside? I just might wear them inside out.
