I am near Culpeper Va, I have a small clock 14 hens and two roosters. I love my chickens but I have been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer and although I feel fine now I know that in the coming months I will get worse. I have contacted several organizations looking for help and hope one of...
I havn't read all the posts here but thought I'd jump in and share my recent experiences. I had skin cancer 5 years ago, they removed a mole off my foot and told me it was ok. Fast forward to about a month ago, my rooster nipped me on my left calf and it swelled up really big, the dr thought...
I've ordered from Patternworks before and never had any problems, hope you get your yarn soon.
I just stumbled over this post and haven't had time to read all the entries but I'm excited that there are so many here who also knit.

I bought a stained glass lamp at an auction for $35.00. I didn't need it but I bid on it because it was pretty and the price was right. We stopped at another auction on the way home, a guy in the parking lot saw the lamp in the back window of the truck and offered me $75.00 for it. Went home...
