Excellent Knitty Board Quote

"...feel free to ask anything without being judged... If you doubt, just read all the questions in this supernewbie SUPPORT room. You will notice no one belittles themselves! If you are a knitter, you ride a large black horse with steel hooves, not a little Shetland pony."

Ravelry link: the yarn.

Yay me! Still working on the little scarf I'm making out of it.

Puzzle Mat

Check it out. We bought a puzzle mat. Why? Partly because, hey, puzzle mat!



But also because it's an effective and cheap blocking mat. Resizable too! I can use it to block a shawl...



...or a scarf...



...or even a sweater.



And also to play with, obviously!
