reader letters and link suggestions
Michelle from greeting arts sent in this link to Hilary’s free elf embroidery patterns.
Wild Deer sent in a link to a charity she is participating in FIRE all you have to do to help is ‘buy a scarf pattern, keep a child warm!’
A letter from Vicki:
Hi, just looking at the post on Stephanie’s little Christmas Trees. Love that idea, but also thought you may be interested in the pic on SouleMama’s site titled “is it time yet?” dated November 20, 2006. This little Santa is just the same shape as the cone Christmas Trees. It’s so sweet.
Melody sent this in:
I thought you might want to know that NPR is holding our First Ever “2006 News” Holiday Craft Contest. We’re asking listeners and readers to design either a handmade menorah or a Christmas tree ornament and send us the pictures. We already designed a Mel Gibson Mel-Norah and a Baby Suri Christmas ornament, and have received a (quite disturbing) Dick Cheney-full-of-buckshot-snowman. Thought you might like to enter, or let your readers know. J
And Toms letter (winner of whiplash a couple of month’s back):
Just another thank you – I just received the prize through the post and I’m really impressed with the wool, and those needles are huge and slightly terrifying, which is great.

FYI: Shobhana (Wild Deer) and I decided to do a knitalong for the FIRE charity scarf – the Bejeweled Knitalong. See the details on my blog. It would be great to have more participants! It starts on January 1st, 2007.
