Cool things to check out:
Crochet Sea Creatures not to be believed (Thank you
Dawn!), Check out Yarn-a-go-go's site and then check
into NaNoWriMo! It's not
too late! Then there's The Thread
Project (One World, One Cloth), and I ran out of time to talk about
My Paper Crane from
Heidi.
I'll never do this
to you.
Here's Henry, by the way:

May thanks to Nikolle
Doolin for her SEXY
reading of Henry James' Turn of
the Screw. If you check out her site, you'll see why she's
so good... except for that blasted microphone...
