Freckled Crafts

I'm finally back into my knitting grove. Nothing finished but I'm making good headway on my Pumpkin-Wheat sweater and I'm almost done with my dashings. Here they are all nice and neat in their basket. I find a basket is the best way to store my WIPS, plus it looks cute.

In non-knitting news my favorite show on TV right now is Pushing Daisies. It's fresh, funny, smart, and really well written, not to mention Emerson the detective knits. Sadly since the writer's strike and many months off plus a lack of publicity for the show means the ratings are really low right now. Please visit the petition and sign http://www.petitiononline.com/daisies/petition.htmlne.com/daisies/petition.html. Along with signing the petition I decided that writing some letters would be good. So I typed up a whole page pleading with all these different people from ABC and the affiliates to keep Pushing Daisies and to give it a better chance of succeeding. When I was printing them all out I realized that we don't have envelopes. So I pulled out some colored paper and made my own. I drew a (really bad) bee on the front saying "Bzzz Save the Pie Hole" and put the letter inside along with some honey packets (if you haven't seen PD Chuck harvests honey and the show kinda has a whole bee theme). I plan to mail them off tomorrow and I'm crossing my fingers they get there before it gets canceled.

I also decided that my yarn was just too cramped under my bed in bags and boxes. I picked up this hanging storage thing for $2 and Joannes a few weeks ago and finally got around to rearranging my closet. I'm really happy with it and also think it's funny how much of my closet my yarn takes up now.
