Operation Awesome's up on Teaspoon now. It appears that I dropped my membership to marriedonmars, so if anyone reading this is still on it, I'd appreciate a mention there, to give it a little more traction.

Knitting Lessons Learned

Just FYI, y'all, I have discovered that you can knit with cheap yarn or cheap needles, but not both at once.

( The key to knitting cheap cotton )

Also, the Single Crochet Castoff (scroll down, there's video) has permanently fixed my castoff problems; I always had to cast off with a needle about 4 sizes bigger to make sure it wasn't too tight. And then it was too loose.

Finally, for those in countries with Giant Grocery stores, I have become a sudden devotee of their reusable grocery bags. I know I have a bazillion totes (most saying "Malice Domestic" on them) but the Giant bags have a really good capacity, stand on their own, and only cost a buck. IOW, they're excellent project bags.
