to you

Thank you so much all you lovely, lovely knitters who have signed up so far for the meathead knitalong.* Thank you so much all you Democrats who made my night last night as I sat at Pazzo and cheered at the big screen. Thank you all you wonderful people, everywhere. And thank you my little darling son who makes me happy to wake up every morning. Thank you my husband for being the exact person you are, and for signing up for the knitalong. I can't wait to see what you make.
Thank you, auction, for being so good and fun and lucrative for Cafe au Play (we made about $10,000 and all the aprons sold like hotcakes!). And thank you, auction, mostly for being over. So that yesterday I could work on my book and invent an entire pattern from start to finish with half the sample already done in one day.
Thank you Sarah for the picture, too.
* And yes, please do keep signing up. Martin & I are working on an email list to get the pattern out hopefully by tomorrow.
$10K? That is incredible! I am so glad that I could help out, if only in a little way. Looking forward to the parade of meatheads. Oh, and I am so with you on the election. Finally, finally, we're getting somewhere. We just have to work together.

Fabulous news! Congratulations on that successful auction!
I only found your blog about a couple weeks ago so I'm sorry I couldn't contribute to your auction. I'm glad it went so well.
