Hi to all! The first, very short message is due to too much help from my cat Midnight. She likes to sit on my lap and from time to time `puts in her paw`s worth`! This time she hit Enter.
I couldn`t figure out how to change from my account name to my usual screen name, which is CatBookMom. I`ve been reading posts on this Chat Center now for a month or so, having become a very happy member of the group of knitters and crocheters who are clued in to the great values and yarns found here at Elann. I`ve been hanging out on the About Knitting forum for a year or so, and of course found out about Elann through the fans who talk about Elann over there.
You all have such lovely pix of your projects, and I really am amazed by the amount of knitting expertise here, and what you have all written up as your bio`s. I`m hoping to be more of a participant in the chat in the future.

I live in Burbank, CA. In this millennium I`ve only been knitting and crocheting about 2 years. I work with a seniors` group to make lapghans, shawls, etc. for local hospitals, hospices and nursing homes. We have a great new LYS here, called Unwind Yarns (www.unwindyarn.com), where I hang out with some of the younger new knitters and crocheters. Annie Modesitt will be teaching some classes there next month; I`m so excited about that! And I just took a part-time job at a LYS in Pasadena, after several years of early retirement due to health problems.
I am a Yarnaholic; I have `way more yarn than I could knit up in a year, although I don`t know how many yards I have! LOL! I just finished a Clapotis in Schaefers` Laurel mercerized cotton, and a Fiber Trends Baby Poncho for my soon-to-be-born cousin in TLC Wiggles in red, blue, yellow and purple. Besides some charity projects, my next big project will be a vest for my DH in Highland Wool in Dusty Teal. He chose an allover cable pattern, so I`m realistically thinking he may get the vest in time for next winter! I`m also planning the Heartstrings mobius scarf in Baby Silk in Raspberry for my best friend for Christmas.

Hi, Marta! I forgot to mention that I did my first felting project a month or so ago - I made the WendyKnits cat bed with some of the beautiful Gjestal Naturegarn (sp?). It turned out just great, and the yarn hardly fuzzed at all!! Our cat Shadow has monopolized it, so I`ve started another for Midnight so she won`t feel left out. You might guess that I`m a doting CatMom!

But can we get to the Moon?

Hmmm. That`s only about 300-350 skeins, assuming an average yardage per skein at somewhere between 100 and 125yds. Maybe there was something in the air around that time that caused Yarn Acquisition Syndrome; I only started my stash about a year ago, too.
Over on the About.com Knitting Forum, Calamintha posted her First Law of Knitting Thermodynamics, which states that in their first year of knitting, new knitters will acquire approximately 3 times as much yarn as they can knit. I`ve always been an overachiever, so I`m afraid I`ve already got a couple of years` worth of yarn!!
