Sweater interruptus
Babies 'R Us: As I was happily winding my way up a sleeve of Must-Have, I had a "holy sh*t" moment of reckoning.

Alas, for the next two weeks, Must-Have goes on ice in favor of this...You can click here to glimpse that darling picot edge.

Knit porn: Four of us black sheep from the Lamb made a field trip to the Denver Creative Festival on Saturday. Heavy on the quilting vendors, there were nonetheless some splendid yarn purveryors, including the inimitable Judy Ditmore of Interlacements. Wanna see what I got? Gonna make some wristwarmers, someday.

Mom bought a wonderful fair isle tote kit from Black Water Abbey (she's a glutton for punishment). Kay scooped up some yummy alpaca from Interlacements and Constance scored a photo-fabric transfer kit and vintage Japanese kimono. A wonderful time was had by all!
Birdland: My brother has this misogynistic macaw named Darwin, nasty brute with a beak that could break coconuts--the macaw, not my brother. He's started a forum--Parrotalk--where people write posts like "Playful beaking," "little man," and "drainage from nostril." Wish I had one. Not. You can now even purchase Parrotalk merch at http://www.cafeshops.com/parrotalk. Give it a look, the shirts are pretty cute.
