Originally I hadn't planned to join this yarn along because I'm missing one of the two main requirements: a current-reading material. But then I realized, or maybe, just being honest with myself, I have done a lot of reading:

Sadly, the only thing I really read between scripts at work & magazines or newspapers from the Gentleman I drive, is the ads for my latest craze;

some might call it a beginner's version of "extreme" couponing -- but I say I still have a lot to learn.

And I don't want anyone to think this blog is going to become about couponing -- thus my hesitation to post anything about couponing or to admit that I've doing a lot of it lately... -- but I thought it would be kind of humorous to share & it would make a fun twist on the read/yarn along.

Happy yarning!

Thanks to a note from Genevieve, I've finally taken the challenge (for me) to join a Knit Along. The hardest part for me is staying on a schedule when it comes to crafting. I'm so easily distracted that I hate to promise anything in advance (that is why all my shop items are ready-to-ship, hehe).

So I'm very excited to say that I have *almost* completed this personal challenge of mine.

I've been re-working the pattern I'm following due to my lack of size-1 knitting needles (I'm using my great-grandmother's size-3) and I think I've ripped it out 3 or 4 times now.

.... not including the last 3 of the decrease at the top. .... I can't wait to see how quick I can whip up its pair.... :)

I wish I better understood the protocol when it comes to linking up, but I'll admit I've only seen it on Field Wonderful's blog, so I hope no one minds....
