Exciting news ...
... I'm 47 tomorrow. Um ... OK, it happens to be true, but that's not the really exciting news (although I have some nice knitterly pressies heading my way, including copies of 'The Opinionated Knitter' and 'Unexpected Knitting', so of course I'm excited about those).
But I digress - the really exciting stuff is that I got a phone-call from Simply Knitting magazine this afternoon, and the green Steek Boa is runner-up in their recent scarf competition. How COOL is that?! I have to send it to them for photographing, along with a picture of me, and I think it will be in the issue after next (think that's sometime at the end of May?)
