(mind you, that's not really a product!), Heirloom Lace patterns, acrylic nails in a French manicure style, anything from Paperchase.   I really really really would love my own Softball mitt... I play catcher, but I may well deal with that when I get to the States.

    My yarn stash is on the verge of taking over the sitting room, but my flatmate doesn't mind too much.  I drink far too much coffee and have a stove top espresso maker.  I cycle to work each day, and I react to the immense masculinity of the office by being ultra-girly.  I think my SP7 questionnaire is still up on here somewhere.  I rarely, if ever, stop knitting.  It's damn hard to comment on Xanga if you don't have an account... so please email!
