How to make an 8 year-old girl happy...

Simple! Knit her a pair of pink striped knee-socks!

Details (yarn, pattern, etc.) can be found here: Ravelry project page

Hooray! I won something!

Phat Fiber is often giving away lovelies from their sponsors. I am thrilled to say I just found out that I won the yarn you see above. It is hand-dyed superwash sock yarn made by My8KidsMom whose lovelies are sold at Counting Sheep Farm.

And again I say, "Squeeeee!"
