I ordered off the HUGE Cascade sale they are running this month. Plus, I ordered for a few other projects. My HUGE box came today.

A helped me organize all my yarns again. Then, he helped me organize all my patterns into the new accordian file DH bought me this weekend. I figure organizing my stuff is the first step in sorting out what is *my* patterns so I can write them out formally rather than shifting through the huge stack of patterns in hopes of finding *anything* in there.

It doesn't take much to make me happy. But, A was drooling over all my yarns too. I said to him, "You know your souls cries out to work in the fiber arts, right?"

He can crochet. But, he decided it was too girly and quit. Still, everytime I get yarn, he has to carress, inspect, organize and basically act like someone who works in the fiber arts. He's such the artist. He draws, woodworks, does archtectural designs, etc. I think he'd LOVE working with yarn. Maybe I should get him a knitting book. It was a man's skill for hundreds and hundreds of years.

Yup, A and I talked and I'm going to buy him an instructional book for knitting on payday. We're going to try and learn knitting together.

The knitter who inspired me to try lace is here (http://www.menwhoknit.com/community/?q=blog/523).

My 13yo knows how to knit but rarely does. He made it about halfway thru a kitty pi. He does, however, love and wear the shawl I made him for Xmas. :)
