Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

I noticed the page holder on the top of your book and it looks like it works very well. Could you tell me where one can be purchased? I love to read and the only page holders I've found are big and bulky. Thanks!
Isn't that the one the husbeast made for you?
(Maybe he could post a guest tutorial--how to make a wire book-holder-thingy)
*&^&cat... (I love her dearly and passionately...you know that, right?)
It's a conspiracy...cats everywhere are trying to ruin knitting. Or at least make it very difficult. We are having one or two "issues" with needy felines around here as well.
Potter has been extra snuggy lately too. What's up with all the cats?
*snrk* mine do that too . . . only Noko adds to the joy by drooling copiously when he's highly content. Remember Turner and Hooch? Yeah.
