Auction Results

The winner of the shawl auction is Kathryn Wagner, who won the Ebay bid at US$420 and who raised the donation amount to US$700 to benefit the Kagyu Thubten Choling Buddhist monastery in New York State in memory of Lily Chin's mother and sister. Thank you, Kathryn!

Thanks to all who participated in the auction, either by bidding or encouraging others to do so. Lisa and I hope that those of you who bid, but did not win, will make a donation to the monastery anyway. See previous post for details and a link to the monastery. They take Paypal and welcome donations of any amount you can afford.

I have been neglecting the blog these past few weeks due to a monster flu and sinus infection, a compatibility issue between Old Computer Stuff and New Computer Stuff, the preparation of Ye Olde Income Tax, and also? A gash on my index finger which impedes typing, spinning, tax preparation, and knitting.

More blogging soon. Thanks for your patience. In the meantime, you may want to go visit www.knitty.com and drool at the new designs ... and check out the new sock yarn at www.knitivity.com.

Carry on.
