Look, honey, the magazine tells you how to do it!

Sometimes, when he knows I am listening, Bill jokes with his friends that he worries about the future with me and fiber. I mean, just look at the trail of evidence. We went from yarn & needles, to lots of yarn, needles, fiber, a few books and a wheel, to lots of yarn, lots of needles, fiber, a whole bookshelf full of books, a wheel, and two looms in about 15 years. (New knitters, beware! This could be you.)

Obviously, says Bill, this progression is leading dangerously close to ANIMALS. He worries that one day I'll come home with a lamb. He feels pretty safe as long as we live in suburbia and have a postage stamp sized yard, but he remains vigilant. And grateful for my allergies to dogs and bunnies.

So here you go, honey, my first hint that you might be right about the animals. I want this magazine. I want to look at the ads. And pictures of alpacas. Mmmmmm alpacas. Just look at this cover:




Doesn't it make your heart go pitter pat?

Don't worry. You are still safe from Bactrian camels. They are just a *bit* large for the yard. You might not be safe from More Magazines, but that's a fair trade, right? I get another bookshelf for magazines in exchange for not bringing home a lamb. Or a camel. That's a fair deal, right? Yes. Sounds totally fair to me.
