yellow blue and white sounds like a nice combination. it reminds me of laura's bathroom.
i have a knitting folder in my bookmarks with 14 links. we are nerdy girls.

the store on rivard is fancy... it's a ton of specialty yarns... they have really good sales. i go there to buy needles and a couple other things. i've only bought a couple balls of yarn there.
if i get the zellers card, i can at LEAST build my credit so im not automatically turned down for other cards... and get the points on yarn and stuff there...
there are patterns all over the internet for different cat toys. i'm sure you could knit some of those and sell them at craft shows. and don't you and laura sew little critters and stuff? you could probably sell those, too!

that's true! you should do that. i read on a garbage can ad (lol) that you can convert points into store credit as well. so you buy yarn, get points, buy more yarn with points, probably get points with that purchase but im not sure, and so on. do it!!
i'm not really great with patterns though which is why i fell in love with that slipper pattern. i've never seen something easier. but i'll search craftster for more super easy cat friendly things.
lolol, i forgot about our critter making! now that i have nothing to do with my life other than get a job between now and summer, i should just mass produce potential craft show stuff :)

i should really look into the whole store credit card... and see if my mom gets anything for refering me. she would probably give it to me...

you really should! there's really no downside to it unless you overcharge and go into debt, of course..but that won't happen :)

i will probably end up buying stuff for the humane society there.
and some clothes.
but thats about it...
for the slippers, i can look through the yarn i have to see what would make nice ones.
you should come to my house one day and look at my yarn. haha
