More knitting stuff. First shot is of an infomercial for the Snuggy. The second is the old lady on The Fox and the Hound. Note the smile on both these ladies faces. Knitting makes people happy.

note they also have the same haircut?! Don't do that to yourself, okay? you're way cooler than that coif!
Hahah... Debbi is totally right. Yeah those ladies are smiling but they need a hairdresser, stat!
Parker is stinkin' obsessed with that Snuggy. She keeps seeing the commercial and has been hounding everyone to buy one. Kills me.
Jac, do you know how to knit with the round looms? Avery has one and we lost the directions + I'm an idiot = we need help.
I think my favorite knitting image is of "the old lady whispering 'hush'" from Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown.
