Oh, one other quick thing....if you ask a question in the comments and you don't click the box "email follow-up comments to" and leave your e-mail address, the answer will just be left in the comments - so you will have to check back later. If you do click the box and provide an address (only visible to me - not the whole wide world), I will e-mail you directly, as soon as I'm able ;-)
P.S. I'm pretty sure I've deleted all of of the spam comments, but please let me know if you run across any strays. Thanks!
P.P.S. It's snowing again! The snow chicks are finished, my presents are wrapped....and today I'm going to hunker down at home, busy clearing out my inbox, writing my Christmas cards, drawing a couple of patterns and (hopefully) making a last-minute hooked gift. Wow, that sounds pretty ambitious - wish me luck!
