What a great project this is!  Knitted Knockers provides soft, low-weight knockers for breast cancer patients.   I may even take up knitting again, just to make some knockers!  A project we can all get behind and contribute to, if not knitting then make a donation.  https://youtu.be/BWJKEB_tPdU

And here is an Escondido knitter who has set up her own project, based on the Knitted Knockers original.

"You may not have even noticed the ridges on the end of your toothpick, but they’re not just there for decoration. The grooves made in the thin wood make it easier to break off, after which the end is meant to be laid on the table, with the pointy part sitting on top. This keeps things hygienic by preventing a used toothpick from touching the surface of the table."

I am not sure I believe this.

Here is an online fabric store I have not heard of before.  Lots of unusual prints and some tutorials (see the PIN page).   www.monumentalfabric.com
And check out their list of fabric stores, never heard of some of them either.

Miscellaneous Stuff 04-25-11

I marked this article sometime ago to include in my Blog.  I have always found it interesting that only a few people have the "right" to choose the new "hot" color.  Marketing at its most domineering.

This is going around in honor of Earth Day - some gorgeous images, I see quilts!

I haven't done any knitting in years, but always admire the little knitted animals available from knitters around the world.  These little people are wonderful and the video is a hoot:

A friend sent me this lovely flower garden today.  It is one of my favorite e-mail treasures and for the last three or four years I have been sending it out in the winter sometime, just to pretend it is Spring!  Just move your cursor across the page!  Voila - it is Spring!
