Random bits from here and there while I put together the latest Norwegian KAL post...

Welcome to Spring! Okay, I know some of us are still deep in snow, but I got this eCard from Toni that I just had to share.

Toni's Thank You

And a shout-out to Amy for delurking and showing images of her incredible Forest Path Stole here. It is gorgeous! Don't wait for an occasion, Amy! You know I'm going to knit this thing now.

Andrea, whose blog is about starting her yarn company, posted about the cost of hand-knitted garments. It's common knowledge that things are cheaper in third world countries and when imported here are marked up to 1000%. Or even more. Crazy, isn't it? So when Kate finally succeeds at making the Ferragamo bag I'll 1) congratulate her determination in figuring out that pattern, and 2) feel elated that she replicated a high-end bag whose markup is probably more than a third world worker's annual wage. You know the only loser in this deal is the third world worker, right? And that is another topic altogether.
