Okay.... so.... we get to change rooms, or trade spaces... but we get to 'cheat'..... we get to tell each other what...

The proper light for knitting fine wool is the first warm sunbeam of spring! Got mine yesterday. Hope everyone else gets theirs soon. Aaron (in California)

I got this one from a friend. He said he used slightly less sugar, therefore so did I, and he used raisins not chocolate chips. I didn't have any choc. chips on hand, so I also substituted raisins. I don't care much for vanilla, so I left that out. It works quite well, although I think it...
