Chickenlips Knitting

I've created a monster...I delivered four adorable, miniature knitting bag ornaments to my customer, who paid me in cash (I always like that) then she promptly ordered five more! Oy. I'm happy to have people pay me to knit, seriously it was my fiendish plot all along, ;) but I think I may get sick of making them before I can knit some up to sell online. No worries, though--while I'm temporarily out of undyed yarn, I sold some hand dyed yesterday, and the mister is sufficiently impressed! At this stage of the game, I could not ask for more.

Cindy tagged me for a meme! Aw, shucks, I'm flattered, even though I am not that interesting. I'll play, though--because if it's true that if the shoe fits you must acquit, it's also the blogger's code that if you're tagged, then you're "it". Here goes.

38 things about me that you may or may not want to know.
