If you have thought about participating this year, now is the

PS: Bee is being a poop and even though she really wants a big webby poncho, is whining that her knitting skills aren't up to scratch and can't do it. PLEASE! Look at this pattern. She can do it! i'm not allowed to put up her email because her husband ghoulie insists that is mean, so leave encouraging comments to her on this post and i'll make sure she gets them. (ps: bonus points if you tell her not to be a cry-baby, but a TRY-baby)
