i LOVE this site

wooly thoughts

they have a wicked cool interactive on-line afghan pattern generator (which doesn't seem to work this morning. hope it's just a glitch. looks like you can d/l it though to your computer)

more math and knitting and all sorts of other cool stuff. i got a book and several patterns. haven't started on 'em yet. knitting away for my department's christmas gifts (34 scarves and neck warmers. they have to be easy and fairly fast to knit up. although i HAVE been slacking off. last year they all got hats)
