<i>It's been a while,</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I heard that today was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I Love Yarn Day,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I thought it <b>IMPORTANT</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- or just <i>fun</i> -</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to share that I do</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Still Love Yarn.</b> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it loves me back, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
helping me relax </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and <i>unwind</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
every day.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I offered it to Groovy Girl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while I was knitting it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because the pink</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
would be perfect with her dark hair and eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never DREAMED she would take it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is a fashionista and this is a hand knit...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had grown to like it for myself,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but as she carried it away</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a pleased, "Thanks, Mom!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it was all good with me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I admire those who knit for the holidays,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot join their ranks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I <i>will knit</i> and <i>do knit</i> for others,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in my own sweet time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like to meander through projects,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
giving soft yarn a squeeze</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and admiring the stitches along the way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mistakes aren't a big set back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With no looming deadline,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they can become part of the process. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't always have this zen attitude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am embarrassed to remember</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fits I threw at the sewing machine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as I tried to finish projects "in time."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kind of took away from the finished product...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I don't sew for enjoyment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
much anymore. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this hat wasn't knit as a gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's just something</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I felt like knitting (last month)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for someone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for no reason in particular.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I started this cross</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
two years ago,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">but put it down </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
when the knitting needles took over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A couple of days ago</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found myself, shuttle in hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Just like riding a bike,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it came back to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I made it using</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one of my grandmother's</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">tatted crosses for a pattern.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">for my husband.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">He's very happy with them</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that makes me happy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">but...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
let's just say that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">if he mows the lawn in them</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or something like that,</div>

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">It's still a mystery.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have you ever made a mobius strip?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Well I knitted one for the first time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can see why people say it's addictive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>"Round and round she goes</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>nobody knows."</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>That was certainly true for me,</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>but then I cast off my stitches</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>and I had my first mobeus cowl!</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><i>Yea!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I suppose I could think about it,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">and figure out all the twists and turns,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">but I prefer to leave it a <i>mystery.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
...to make some projects successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elis" target="_blank">This is Elis, Indian-Cross-Stitch Cowl,</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elis" target="_blank">a free pattern designed by</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elis" target="_blank">Reiko Kuwamura.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pattern is well written</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and rewarding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a bit headstrong</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in my choice of yarn, though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It HAD to be <a href="http://www.patonsyarns.com/product.php?P=2&LGC=grace" target="_blank">Patons Grace</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because I liked the color and the sheen,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it was in my stash...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">and it was in my stash...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">and it was in my stash...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wGflrYQ6cEk/UewiiUJpvbI/AAAAAAAACZI/_AvzVmEc_F4/s1600/Elis+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="353" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wGflrYQ6cEk/UewiiUJpvbI/AAAAAAAACZI/_AvzVmEc_F4/s400/Elis+3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The weight of the yarn was fine</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but the fiber content is cotton </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the finished cowl was way too stretchy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was kind of bummed...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6HyAsduZCM4/UewiiY0QLPI/AAAAAAAACZM/vc7Xh18bo4o/s1600/Elis+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6HyAsduZCM4/UewiiY0QLPI/AAAAAAAACZM/vc7Xh18bo4o/s320/Elis+4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but then I remembered reading a blog post</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
recently about a project which</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
had similar problems</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and had been salvaged using crochet stitches</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on the inside edge.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2008/02/24/hooking_because_i_have_to.html" target="_blank">This knitter had seen the method on</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2008/02/24/hooking_because_i_have_to.html" target="_blank">the Yarn Harlet's blog.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I gave it a whirl and was very happy with the results!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It now has enough body to hold its shape when worn.</div>

Just a touch of mohair in this yarn</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gives it a nice halo</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's been a while since</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got the urge to sew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That urge struck today </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and shortly thereafter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had a new bag</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to tote my knitting in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My pattern came from</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a 2008 copy of</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fast and Fabulous Quilting Ideas</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by Better Homes and Gardens.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The instructions are <a href="http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/projects-ideas/bags-pillows/grab-bags_1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I plan to make another, but think </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will shrink the size of the bag</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and shorten the longer strap just a touch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yepper, that's the plan...</div>

I'm not sure if it is dorkier</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that I just <b>had</b> to take a picture</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of my knitting when I laid </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
down my needles and saw</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my initial...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or that I took the time to</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
finish writing my name</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and post it.</div>
