Glad to see you made it into the new year.
Another way to say that is: Glad to see you managed to get away from 2009.

Hope to see, read, hear more from you.

Take care,

I have a tunic made with 2 strands of Tofutsies held together as one yarn. It’s WONDERFUL. Of course, we’re talking a different gauge, different stretch, whatever. I expected it to stretch and stretch but it’s acting normal since I got it (lucky me, I did not knit it myself… a friend had it first as a sample, nobody wore it before me).

I expect you’ll like it. Yesterday I taught a student to make toe-up socks with Tofutsies. It looked a little thinner than normal sockyarn on her size 2 needles, but then again, maybe that’s because of the needle size or the lack of fuzz on the yarn.

I expect you’ll enjoy knitting it, if I were to guess. Your mileage may vary.

@Janey White..? White!!? They've probably seen at least 2 hours of sun in the past 10 years. There's gotta be some color there.

I was going to ask the same as Sarah.

It is going to be one rockin’ sock – not to play too much on the brand name.
Quite a contrast from the whitey below it.

Just what’s needed to perk up old fart feet?
