Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down: (in place of Special TFR)

• Thumbs up - Knitters are so great to make purple hats. and baking stuff is awesome!
• Thumbs Down - Rant here!  Hateful People! If you can't be nice, then shut your mouth. Podcasters are not putting themselves out there for you to evil to. Too many of my podcaster friends have been attacked over the last few years and I'm just sick of it. Constructive Criticism is one thing, being a mean nasty hateful person is not allowed. If you don't like me, then don't watch me. But you don't have to attack me.  And that goes for all my friends.  If I ever find out who is being hateful to my podcaster friends, I will call you out by name. Do you think I'm kidding?

• YenforYarn has relapsed on her battle with ovarian cancer and she is a knitwear designer. Heather, from Highland Handmades has re-organized a Cast On for YenforYarn KAL.  To show her the love and support, we are encouraging people who want to join to go buy one of her patterns and knit that item! I have bought the Manhattan sock pattern. Then tag the project with "COFY" (Cast On for YenforYarn).  Kind of a virtual hug going her way.  
• Also a secret project has been hatched by CJ Kopec, a good friend of YenforYarn.  If you are interested, Please email CJ at:  cjkopeccreations@yahoo.com   Put YenforYarn in your subject line and she will email you the details.  If its not your cup of tea, no biggie... but we are keeping the whole thing a secret! :)
• Sad that Knitajourney and stitch it podcast are retiring! Will miss them both!
• Tricfecta of Awesome Fiber club! I got in! there were 130 people signed up. I was the last name drawn! They did it old school, by printing out the names and pulling out of a basket. I will be doing the same thing for my drawings. RNG just repeats numbers over and over, so i don't want to use it anymore!
