Answer: MICROSeRF XP SERVICE PACK 2!

They do it again! Update your computer to protect it from security breaches and SMACKX!

  1. AWwww, what a bummer! I’d been wondering if the Mondo Condo had morphed into the Lacy Poncho. And, hey, nice 2-tone Ribby! Are you revising that pattern? Because I’ve got the original in the to-knit queue ~

  2. THANKS! A new gauge, several-size pattern for the Ribby Cardi will launch sometime in late October!

    I am totally excited by how this came out – I’ve tweaked the neckline and made it in my fave, wortsted weight gauge for some Fall Fun!

    Thanks to EVERYONE who wrote and requested this version!

I wish I could just rip it out from the top [where I started] and make it sans t-neck. Maybe someday. *sigh* Ooh – just noticed – LOVE the ribbie cardi to the right – Great!

  4. Oh that makes me sad – I Loved that poncho and was awaiting the pattern. But your right, anything that makes a butt look bigger is simply not acceptable!
    Wouldn’t it be great if we could just frog a virus!
