Please check out Jeanette's photo album at http://www.picturetrail.com/jeanettem especially the Latvian fringed mittens and the Whiteface Mountain sweater. I can't wait for the gorgeous Norwegian stockings which she's making for me, me, me. She really has to be the most talented teenaged knitter ever.
My birthday present has been ordered. DH got me the Ott-Lite 18 watt "Vision Saver" floor lamp and I definitely need it. I've been up late at night knitting on more than one occasion with blurry eyes. I'll report back after I try it out.
