Winner, Q&A, Happy 4th!

Last week's eBook giveaway winner is AllyB, who blogs at Ally B ... that's Me! Ally, Denise will get in touch with you on Ravelry to send the eBook.

Chat back time:

Cathy, my favorite yarn is usually wool, usually merino, and usually the less processed the better. I really like Ellen's Half Pint Yarns wool, and that's a Falkland wool. I like most of cashmere and alpaca yarns too (pure or blend), but sometimes they don't hold stitch definition very well so I can't use them for cable designs (and you know I live on cables :-)). I have some fancy stuff in my stash too, like pure silk, qiviut, I really like them, but they are so expensive for a small quantity, hard to decide how to use them.

Mlissabeth, my mom taught me to knit when I was about five, and I knitted on and off when I was growing up. This time around when I became a serious Knitter was in 1998 when I found Knitlist online and join our local knitting group. I have been knitting just about every day since.

Sheila, the little black dog is our little princess Emma. Emma just turned a year old and she knows she's the cutest pup in the world and everyone worships her dainty little toes. 

Beth, the picture was taken at an outdoor concert / picnic, so there was a lot of food around. Emma allowed us to eat our food and only had couple nibbles of fries. She's perfect.

Ally, yes she's ready! Did I send you the address? Let me know if you need it.

It's July 4th week and Henry has the week off from camps. We did some day trips to the coast to get away from the heat wave. I leave you this picture of a hot fudge sundae from Ghiradelli Chocolate Shop on Cannery Row in Monterey. 


Happy Friday! Join the party on Andrea's blog, and leave me a comment!

It's not fair to leave that hot fudge sundae pic there, that's cruel!! :P

Mouth drooling...that sundae looks so good.

Agreed with Cathy - and hey, I know that Ghiradelli store! Although I didn't partake of the hot fudge sundae - another missed dessert opportunity. :)

Stay cool and have a great weekend.

What a fun way to beat the heat!

Wha-hoooooo!!! I'm so happy to be the winner. Can't wait to start that cowl. I think it would be a perfect vacation project...which will be next week. Vivian, those Sundae's looked so delicious but where a bit large for me. You'd find me in a corner in a coma after eating that, I think. :) Happy weekend to you!
