Opinions? It&#8217;s quite expensive, and I&#8217;d like a few opinions befor I hand over that much money. I did a google search, but I didn&#8217;t get a whole lot.<br \/>\nYou know sometimes you just have an idea in your head of what you want to knit, and you can&#8217;t find a pattern, or your yarn is the wrong weight? I&#8217;m far too lazy to work out the math for myself! Thus, I&#8217;m considering the software.<br \/>\nThe socks are progressing, although I&#8217;ve been sewing, and today we were out and about.<br \/>\nWe went to the Pet Store again.

Poor Fuzzy has only been gone for 2 months.<br \/>\nAnd in other news, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyclone_Larry\">Cyclone Larry&#8217;s<\/a> presence continues to be felt.<br \/>\nI love bananas, but haven&#8217;t had any in a while. While we were in the frut shop,  I tried to take a surreptitious picture of the price, but it didn&#8217;t work. They were $9.95 a kilo. Ten bucks!!
