Crocheting is "in" though. You can go that route...

So glad you have The O.C. right -- LOVE that one :)
Personally, Harry Potter is not out for me -- can't wait for the next book!
On a side note, I'm a finalist for a BoB award AND it's my birthday!
Will you go vote for me today as my birthday present?? :)

No, make the OC go away...
...though I'll take the 70's, golf, and hornblower naval style please.

I can't believe shrugs are back. I thought it would take at least 3 more years to see those resurface. And I'll never get into the O.C. -Mischa Barton's pictures in People magazine annoy me enough as it is.

Chuck, I was going to ask you to crochet me a shrug (preferably pink angora) after you finish your sweater! ;)

You mean the never ending sweater?
I did see a pattern for a shrug, but I don't shrugs are made for women with breasts. Every woman I have seen them on, that they actually looked good on, was flat chested. And you my dear, are have a bosom to die for.
We won't even mention that it would take around 20 balls of angora yarn, at around 15 bucks a ball, to knit a shrug.
