Holy blazes

The fires are blazing here in Southern California. Everyone I work with is glued to the news, watching as more neighborhoods are evacuated, hoping that theirs isn't next. Ah-nuld will have to let all of Hollywood burn down before the fires could get to me -- one instance where living in a big, crowded city is actually advantageous.

I am now an active player in the Phildar knit-along. Here's what I'm making with Debbie Bliss cotton cashmere. I'm feeling excited about this one!

Settling in last night with my black poncho and DVD of "The Office," I knitted and laughed my way through almost 6 episodes. I found myself so addicted to this show that, unbeknownst to me, I had watched the entire first season in one sitting. What a wicked show!

Hi Leigh! I'm using the blue teal -- it's such a great yarn, I am really loving it. My first time using Debbie Bliss, and I'm sold. Thanks for welcoming me into the madness, it's big fun.

Leigh has tempted me into the world of DB yarns. Really nice stuff! I like the Phildar pattern you've picked out. It'll be great in that yarn!
