What's On My Hook/Needles/Spindle: Eliina is totally done and blocked! I am still creeping along on my bamboo-blend socks and my latest Toddler Socks. Mother Bear And Stitches West Info: Post a picture of your bear right here as a comment or here at Ravelry.

The CogKNITIve Meet-up at STITCHES WEST will be at 3 PM on Saturday at Booth 111--the Mother Bear Project booth. Bring your bear to turn in OR bring old yarn or needles or hooks to donate OR bring $5. for the pattern OR bring $10 to sponsor someone else's bear and have your name put on it.

If nothing else, bring nothing, pay nothing, get love from Dr Gemma for even showing up, and take a brochure to give to your local knitting group to inspire them to make bears.

Just COME! Bring YOURSELF and get a warm hug!

Dizzy Blonde: I'm done spinning the 8 ounces of the random greens from Dyeing for Colour on Etsy.

Strategy: Remember that your boss wants one thing: to get the job done. Talk to her/him that way.

Something I Really Like: My Jabra cell phone speaker clipped to my visor in the Mobile Recording Studio.

Blather: Zooming up the I-5 towards Stitches West and people who refuse to walk.

Look! Ellina only needs blocking!
