snowing and I am tense about the CPSC

Snow falling on the front range. I am wanting to be wrapped in blankets instead of worrying about the Febuary 10, 2009 start date for compliance with the consumer products safety commission. I am going to have to give up all of my charity knitting for children if I read this properly. Adult stuff only. (well 12 and up) This takes my kid chemo hats out of production because I can't afford to test for lead and phthalate. I am going to be sending email to my representatives and senators. I am also going to send snail mail to the CPSC small business ombudsmen. I will call and talk to the office of compliance and see how this really effects me and I will post the reply that I get.

busy busy busy...

This month has flown by and I am still not being good about posting here. I am on ravelry most of the time and run out of go juice about getting to my other blogs. (here, myspace,and tribe) I have been busy knitting and trying to get the house to run smoothly.

The pups ate my camera cord so maybe Santa will bring another.

Here is a wine bottle sock I made Thursday night as a last minute gift. The yarn is repurposed and even though it doesn't show well in this light a lovely silvery green of unknown fiber content. I was very happy at how it was recieved. I can get insecure about gifting.

I think though that I will be making more as I am going to be starting a new batch of wine in a month or two. I don't know what kind it will be yet. Okay, so I do know what kind it will be... it will be yummy picnic kind of wine. The fruit is still in question.

The snowflakes are still drying and I am wanting to mess with them so much it isn't funny. I wish I knew what they will look like finished. Maybe tomorrow I will get pics.

Wow...

Look what happens when you take pain meds. You just forget that the days go by. Lots happening here but nothing really getting made. No pics, just letting those that care know that I am feeling better.
