Crushes and Heartbreaks:
  Wendy is crushing on Valley Yarn's Northfield, very nice to work with and went on sale at Webs this week.
  Sheila has a heartbreak on the Miss Babs yarn.  The label is states 225 yards, but Ravelry states as 335 or 70 yards.  Check your labels.

Baubles and Bling:
  Wendy has nothing to add.
  Sheila Purchased the Leisure Arts Creative Collection book on Family knits for a Dollar at our local Dollar store, could not leave it there.  Looking for handmade soap for teacher gifts.

Gossip and Innuendo:
  Wendy has her mom in town.
   We talk about all of the gadgets we love.  Her are the links to what we mentioned.
Knit Kit (I linked to Google search that way you can shop by price), 7 Yaks Design (I also have a heart shape needle gauge), and Puppy Snips.  I also had a needle gauge that was the shape of a man, by I Needle U.  I think that is all.
Plurk tip from Jeanette93 for knitting two at a time toe up socks, put yarn in plastic bag with one end of the skein sticking out of separate holes.

Here is the link for that Sock Monkey Yarn at Hank Yarns.
