Special Thank You's to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday on Monday.  Thank you, you guys are awesome.

Thank you to Diane (knitabulls), Bev (paletpc), Suzette (jacksgrandma), Beth (wittyknitten) and Denise (madaboutmatisee) for the lovely patterns.  I am going to work really hard on getting those knit soon.  I think I am missing someone else, and I am sorry.

Thank you to Yvonne for donating to the podcast.

Gossip and Innuendo:
Sheila shares her Plurk Podcaster Challange finsished object.  The Pembroke Vest by Kirsten Kapur in Dream in Color Classy in Blue Thunder.  Knit on US 5/3.75 mm and US 7 / 4.5mm needles.  Mods, she used the Coffee Mug Cozy cable then the pattern cable and added a little heart to it.

Sheila has Pembroke Hat by Amy Shannon on US 5 / 3.75 mm and US 7 / 4.5 mm using the leftover Dream in Color Classy in the Blue Thunder color.  I am doing the cables from the back, because it is easier for me with out a cable.   I also have Shetland Triangle by Evelyn A.
