It's Almost Done, I Promise!

Dear Cris,












You know that scarf I promised you for Christmas, and how I teased you with a two-foot-long piece of it? I know you are getting on in years, so the sense of urgency is not lost on me. This scarf has come with me

• to work
• to knitting group
• to wait for Chinese food takeout
• in traffic
• to Christmas dinner with the in-laws (which is why it might smell a little like prime rib - not a bad thing...)

and it is almost done. I am well into the last of four skeins (of Noro Silk Garden, for the knittahs reading this). It has been satisfying to watch the colors change from one to the next, and to see this scarf get longer and longer. But yeah, it's been long enough.

It's almost yours - I promise!

So Many Net Things to Do, So Little Time

Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed by all the ways we can communicate on the web? How do we stay current? Which ways are becoming obsolete, and are there better ways to do it?

If I add up all the things I do here on the web, it's a wonder I still have time to go to work:

Ravelry: my ID there is lmardennh (go figure)
Facebook AND MySpace
my website at www.laurinmarden.com (which is hopelessly out of date and in so much need of a facelift)
this blog
the NETA blog at http://netafiberforum.blogspot.com/
AND, if that weren't enough, a secret website I am building, about a long-held passion of mine, that will be announced soon - maybe.

Oy vay!
