<p style="text-align: center;">Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother&#8217;s house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through the white and drifted snow, O!
Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the nose
And bites the toes
As over the ground we go.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Meet my latest design&#8230;. &#8220;Through the Woods&#8221;!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Readers, Through the Woods.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Through the Woods, Readers.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> <img src='http://whiletheyplay.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">This pattern has been a long time coming. Just ask my friend and co-worker, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?filter=app_2361831622#/profile.php?id=759604693">Amy</a>. Who has endured the torment of listening to me go on and on about the various ideas I had in an attempt to create this design.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Or ask my dear husband, who had to witness the horror that is repeatedly frogging yard upon yard of<em> &#8220;CO 100. No, wait! CO 120. Purl 4, Knit 4. No! WAIT! AAAAHHHH!!!!!!!&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I may at one point, have found him tucked away in some dark corner chanting, <em>&#8220;Make it stop!!!&#8221;</em> But it may or may not have been deafened by the sound of my thrashing knitting needles.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-513" title="hooddownbackview" src="http://whiletheyplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hooddownbackview-759x1024.jpg" alt="" width="759" height="1024" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">At any rate&#8230;.. let us just say that this pattern took some time and effort and a couple hundred of my precious brain cells.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">But alas, she was born! And isn&#8217;t she precious??</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-521" title="hoodupunbuttoned" src="http://whiletheyplay.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hoodupunbuttoned-683x1023.jpg" alt="" width="683" height="1023" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Yes, she is a girl. Just because she is so darn pretty. I think by far, this is my FAVORITE pattern to date! What do <em>you</em> think, dear readers???</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">You can purchase the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=38568609">pattern </a>in my Etsy shoppe for $5.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And I would like to also mention that through the end of January, 10%  goes to the<a href="http://www.care.org/index.asp"> Haiti Emergency Relief Fund</a> and another 10% goes to the <a href="http://ww5.komen.org/">Susan G. Komen Foundation</a> to support Breast Cancer Awareness.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Hoping you all have a wonderful week!  <img src='http://whiletheyplay.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over a month ago, my husband and I took our oldest boy with us shopping about an hour away from home. We were looking for a new mattress set and also a new computer. Due to the length of time I knew I&#8217;d be spending in transit, I decided to bring along my current knitting project.</p>
<p>We hopped in and out of the car several times, between this store and that.</p>
<p>After leaving Toys R&#8217; Us, as we approached our vehicle, I caught a glimpse of something green and wispy hovering beside the passenger door.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/vXGqE0Q5iRbb4MCyW42HSA?authkey=Gv1sRgCJPugqjAhaaXHQ&amp;feat=embedwebsite"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_DEPuKIoxvxE/Sb315XGyqfI/AAAAAAAADSQ/lVquRrWa7AA/s800/yarnaddictionwoes.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<div style="text-align: center;">????????????????????????????????????????</div>
<p>As I got closer, I realized what it was. And also realized that clearly, if this addiction of mine was going to continue, I was going to have to bring in reinforcements.</p>
<p>Any suggestions for a smart and chic Yarn Bag?????</p>
