Evening Magazine's Best of Western WashingtonHave y'all heard about the
"Best of Western Washington"?
It's really cool because you can vote for your favorite yarn shop and have 100's of people hear about it. Gee.
All one would have to do is go to the Arts & Crafts section and vote. *hint hint*
They don't call me "Suble" for... well, no one has
ever called me subtle. :-)
Isn't he cute?
And finally, many of you asked me if my son really does resemble the alpaca in my last email. I'll let you be the judge.
That's all from me for now. It's time to knit!
