Library Thing is a wonderful web site that helps you quickly catalog your book collection. Today I made a list of my knitting books which you can see HERE. I have only one book that isn't in Library Thing's database (Jade Starmore's A Collector's Item).

You simply type in knitting and they'll show you a list with photos of thousands of books from Amazon and US libraries. Click to add them to your catalog. There are some errors - especially in the author's name for some listings but it is so simple to use I highly recommend it. I have learned about several new books I want to check into and I remain perplexed why I have so many kid's knitting books.

Although it is still cold outside, at least it feels like spring inside.

Peaches is seen here looking very guilty. That is because she is attempting to illegally open her Craisin container (you can see some dents in the lid where she tried to chew through) and help herself. She gets treats twice a day - in very limited quantities - but always feels she doesn't get enough.

The Best Friends Great Bunny Rescue in Nevada is turning out to be bigger than they originally thought. They rented a 68 acre spread and have already rescued 1000 domestic rabbits from one woman's yard. At least 50 are being born every day because they can't get the females spayed quickly enough and they estimate this rescue, their second largest of all time, will cost them up to a million dollars. They are looking for adopters and funds at this point. I will donate half of the check I receive in May (the checks are issued quarterly) for the knitting booklet and pattern sales from Lulu.

I asked Peaches how she'd feel about several hundred rabbit brothers and sisters but she refuses to share her Craisins with anyone.

Here are the Aran Sandal Socks from Socks, Socks, Socks done in my favorite yarn, some beautiful and softer than soft Cormo from Elsa Sheep & Wool. This yarn is only available at Taos Wool Festival as far as I can tell.



This is my own design for a sock with a ruffled top here. Pattern is available HERE with all proceeds going to nonprofit rabbit rescue.
