P.S. Please DO tell me if a link is refusing you access to an article ... I make a point of picking open-access stories, but sometimes I goof and grab a subscriber-only link without thinking (I can read 'em and the urge to share occasionally overrides the noticing of the little key symbol ***grin***. My subscription DOES include the ability to email subscriber stories, so I'll get it to you that way)

..., the man who pointed us towards the online bubblewrap popping site last year, we now present Oops. Just makes you wanna run out and book a flight right now, doesn't it? :p

A sweet li'l cuddly posted over at knitting (click on the "this pattern" link and on the blog link to see the original design and the current maker's version).

Am nine rows into pattern and it already looks like a 3-D sock toe tip! Am extremely and justifiably proud of myself, since I'm also trying to master knitting with what amounts to five little fondue skewers ***grin***. On the plus side, have yet to have an inactive needle dive out of my stitches (hurrah for non-slippery bamboo!) and haven't accidently stabbed any part of my anatomy either.

Lemony Snicket is providing wonderful to-knit-by listening on this cold, windy, rainy day
