Some fun for you! A Death Clock! Whoopie! (I've got some time, so we'll finish a few more books . . . ) And check this out! A NYTimes article aggregator! I love this thing. I never close it! And for a hoot--check out friend Haynes' new venture (hint . . . he's an actor . . . ). And for those of you frustrated with the economy--a little financial . . . can I call it levity? I don't think so . . . maybe 4-th Wall Realism is better. Here. And here.

Jennie the Potter has done it again--if you missed it on Knitty, get it here! I'll be reviewing these for Knitty shortly! Whoo hoo! And spinning is (once again) singing it's siren song to me. (Ask me how long I spindled last night). My novel only has three chapters left--I'm so excited . . . except that they're the hardest chapters. ¿C'est la guerre, non? The Scarlet Letter coming last week of March, so mark your calendars! If you have early chapters to record, send 'em on! One of my former (read 9/11 evacuee knitting students) is now teaching herself and is trying to start a knitting group for the troubled children she's working with. She is not a registered 501(c)3 so there would be no tax write-off for helping, but of course, Karma's always good. Please contact me if you would like to send her knitting or crochet materials. ANY cast-offs are a boon. I recall that we received half-finished sweaters, ball-ends from projects, mismatched needles, and such. It's all helpful when working with kids.
