I love all of Yahaira's yarns... She makes the best choices!
I'm sure you already know that Purl is carrying more and more japanese fabrics. I think they had the matryoshka print

It's like we're twins...I too am making a log cabin blanket and I'm about to move back East. Seperated at Birth! Of course my blanket is out of Lion Brand and I'll be in rural Lancaster instead of fancy Brooklyn and I'm not about to get famous in the design world but still.

Keep blogging - we miss you!

Happy Return To Blogging!! I'm glad you're back and what yummy pictures! My mom keeps orchids and does the same thing for watering. I'll ask her for some tips for you. Enjoy the beautiful late-summer weather!

Indeed, welcome back to Brooklyn...we've chatted, but what does your schedule look like? Maybe we should do a Monday night knit together or something somewhere in between us in Bklyn.

Illana,
We got our copies of Sensual Knits at Tempe Yarn today. Your design is fantastic!!!!!! Whether you know it or not, you have a thriving fan club still here in Arizona. We will keep watch for future designs.

We miss you and really wish you were here to do a book party.
