Saturday was my birthday, and Liz and Mike sent me this fabulous knitting card:<\/p>\n

The sheep is purple, although is it a bit hard to tell due to my lack of skills with photography.<\/p>\n

My other half gave me The Pleasures of Knitting: Timeless Feminine Sweaters<\/a> and my inlaws also gave me At Knit’s End<\/a> by the yarn harlot<\/a>.
