		<title>yarn forward #28</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Have you seen the September 2010 issue of Yarn Forward???
(yes, I KNOW it&#8217;s only the middle of July&#8230; and YES&#8230; the SEPTEMBER issue IS out already)
Anyway&#8230; it features one of my knitting patterns!
I&#8217;m such a newbie to the world of print publication&#8230; and this is all so wildly EXCITING to me!!! The hard part though, [...]]]></description>

		<title>vibrant green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Added a vibrant green to my ripple blanket&#8230;
I was so sure that I had taken a photo of the original jumper, but can&#8217;t seem to find it anywhere. 
It was beautifully hand knit, but had never been worn.
I can imagine that very few people would look good in this particular shade of green.
In small doses, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Some days I feel super creative&#8230; I&#8217;m driven to push boundaries, and work outside my comfort zone.
Other days I just like to stick to the straight and narrow.
No prizes for guessing which zone I was in when I started embellishing the crochet hook case&#8230;

		<title>trouble with monogamy&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Please don&#8217;t breathe a word of this to Mr Goldfish&#8230; but I have a terrible time trying to remain monogamous.
I mean&#8230; there are so many temptations out there&#8230; how can a person not want to sample a little bit of everything??? It seems only natural to me.
Now, before you all start tut-tutting at me&#8230; I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Thanks to Kyliie and Elle for solving the mystery of this square!
It is the PUMPKIN PATCH SQUARE, click here for the free pattern
So, now that I&#8217;ve finally found the mischevious square&#8230; any ideas on what I could use it for???
The first thing that springs to mind is to make a cushion to match the afghan, [...]]]></description>

		<title>useful&#8230; but a bit too plain!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Look at what my friend Dawnie bought for me.

Isn&#8217;t she a treasure???
This is the best hook storage system that I have ever used.

Four zippered pockets&#8230;. which are just the right size.
Pocket 1 contains bits and pieces &#8211; wool needles, scissors, gauge ruler, tape measure, etc.
Pocket 2 contains my 3mm and 4mm hooks
Pocket 3 contains the [...]]]></description>

		<title>rippling along</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Thanks for all the wonderful feedback on my new ripple project.
There&#8217;s only been a tiny bit added since the other day.
I think it&#8217;s going to be one of those long term projects. I don&#8217;t expect it to be finished this winter, but it WILL be done by next winter.
Part of the delay has been that [...]]]></description>

		<title>look what I found&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Remember when I went away on my crochet retreat?
I packed all the essentials before I left&#8230;

I had BIG PLANS to piece together my 2009 square-a-month afghan, but I only took 24 squares with me&#8230; for a 5 x 5 blanket&#8230;
Well&#8230;
The whereabouts of the missing square was a HUGE mystery, and I was even beginning to [...]]]></description>
