Nick did a lot of work on these, and I made a big update today at the shops, but now they are well stocked, good looking and hopefully pleasing to knitters.

For the American market we have shirts and canvas bags at http://shop-us.worsted-knitt.net/ and coffee mugs at Zazzle

In Europe, we have a wider selection of shirts, but no mugs yet. The shop is divided in two: our main shirt shop in http://shop-eu.worsted-knitt.net/.

The book Not on our watch by John Prendergast and Don Cheadle tells us about the genocide and mass displacement of three tribes in Darfur, Sudan, and what we can do to end the atrocities.

This weekend I finished my third stash busting scarf, knit from one end to the other with big needles and funky yarns:

I am one for many projects on the go, so I decided to start the string bag. I decided to use some old cotton I got from Lidl at the beginning of my knitting career. Here's the humble beginnings.

I was updating the Ompelukerho site, and in search of the monthly changing link I get to choose, I surfed to Animalia, and the petitions listed there. I chose something else to link, but I did sign 2 petitions I had not signed before.

I went to Germany for Christmas. Germany is the land of sauerkraut, good beer - and sock yarn! Marvellous balls of thin, lovely variegated Regias and Lana Grossas in a broad variety of colours. Not to mention the 50 eur gift card to a LYS there... and the sale in the other LYS... so here the goodies for you. These should keep me occupied trough 2008.
