They look great. I've been trying to convince myself for the past year that I actually can learn to knit, but as yet all I've managed to get out is a scarf or two. Any suggestions for a fledgling knitter with a thing for fingerless gloves?

I imagine that the pictures don't do the experience any justice. I'm not really sure what my initial reaction to the diamond back would of been though. Thank you for posting these beautiful pictures.

This is somewhat amusing as I'm not violent, in fact I'm a pacifist. But I had a self-harm/suicidal stage not long ago... So I get to become a tree on which Harpies feed and when other souls regain their bodies I collect mine and hang it on one of my branches. Cheery.

One of my good friends is a Librarian and she's passionate about her job. Her face lights up and she could go on and on about the things available with the library.
