For those of you who don't blog or don't use Blogger, when you log in to your blog it happily tells you how many posts you've created. Wonder of wonders, this is post # 100 to the Weaving Inn. In honor of the occasion I was going to write something deeply philosophical about how blogging had changed my life. How it had restored my faith in humanity. Lifted me up from the darkness of despair and into the light. Umm ... no.

I have, however, met some very special people who I might not have met if they hadn't found their way to my little corner of the Internet (hi trek! hi Renee! hi Amber! hi lurkers!). And that's pretty cool. I've also gotten to share pictures of some of my little projects, both bad (the amigurumi kitten who still has no head) and good (let me get back to you on that). But what it really comes down to is that I like to write. Those of you who've received e-mails from me probably already know that. Heck, even my Instant Messages sometimes rival "War And Peace." I write personal ads for friends. I write non-fiction articles that people actually pay money for (yeah, I can't believe it either). I write children's stories about dragons that blow bubbles that become rainbows. I write.

100 posts ago I couldn't figure out for the life of me what I'd ever write about in a blog. I should have known better. Thank you to everyone who reads my daily scribbling. It really means a lot to me.

OK, enough of the Oscar acceptance speech crap, let's move on.

Apparently once this is finished and blocked -

It will look like this -

Well except it'll be a different color. The Oak Leaf And Acorn Scarf proved to be a bit much for this beginning lace knitter. Enter "Emma's Scarf" which is ridiculously easy. This would be a great first project if you've ever thought about knitting lace. The lace pattern is over 16 stitches and 8 rows. Simple simple simple. And it's knit on either worsted or chunky weight yarn using US size 8 needles. Instead of your usual cobwebs and toothpicks. So it's quick, it's not difficult and would make a lovely Christmas gift. Which is only six months away.

Kerry and I went on a road trip today to Felton and Scott's Valley. Trust me to go to a quilt store and find ...

More Sock Yarn!

Actually, Kerry found it so technically it's not my fault that I bought it. OK, so it's not Sundara or Socks That Rock or Lorna's Laces but I'll give it a whirl and see how it knits up. I really like the colors so even if it's scratchy it'll still be pretty.
