Secret pals unmasked
Also, I can now end the charade of an anonymous e-mail address with the recipient of my package. I'm glad to know that I didn't make an enormous gaffe with what I picked. In fact, it sounds as though the yarn store employee would have been directing me to the wrong color with her interpretation of raspberry pink.
1. Badly Drawn Boy "Once Around the Block", The Hour of BewilderbeastThere's nothing to report on the knitting front. The late afternoon and evening were spent at the Academy Awards party. It was a swell time for us local critics to be catty about red carpet fashion choices, to outguess one another regarding the winners, to groan and cheer those taking home statuettes, and, of course, to eat, drink, and be merry. I'm seriously tired from all the fun and the late night, but it was worth today's lethargy.

The telecast got pretty tedious toward the end, but if there's any gripe I have, it's with the announcer's remark after The Departed was named Best Picture. It's Scorsese's first film with a plot? Kind of a rude bit of editorializing, wasn't it?

Great packages, the book looks like a mine of useful information! I still haven't posted mine, I won't be able to get to the post office until Friday (sigh) work is insane this week.
Love the ballband dishcloth (have made several myself, actually...and I highly recommend the book that the pattern came from - Mason Dixon Knitting - great patterns and a good read) and the yarn that you sent your pal seems to match the color descriptions that she gave perfectly...glad you went w/ your instinct.
What yummy packages! The reference book you received will be a gret help to you.
I totally agree with the Mason-Dixon Knitting recommendation. It's a wonderful book.
I'll have to remember not to be so specific about colors next time - didnt' mean to drive you nuts! But you did a great job. And as I said, I LOVED the CD! Thanks again!
