Dear Subscriber:
One of the most frequent questions I'm asked (except for pattern stuff) is how do you build and promote a website so that folks will find it. As many of you know my husband Tim works full time building and promoting sites. We also know that many folks may not be able to afford the cost of having this done professionally so he is in the process of creating an ebook which should help everyone. Basically it is a step by step guide on how to build (or remodel) your site so that it gets traffic from the search engines. The book will be published on June 1st but we are offering a discount to the first 20 folks that preorder it. The link is here:

But you better hurry :o)... they are going fast.

VIEWER TIP:
Many people have trouble with tunisian afghan stitch curling on them at the beginning, well here is a simple thing that I do to prevent that from happening. Just make 2 rows of afghan stitch purl and then start your
project. You will find that it is not curling for you. hope this helps someone!!!!

I just copied a preemie cap by Joanne DiLucca Schlub. Been looking for a design that was "girlie" and this is beautiful. Most have a turn up brim. I will be donating these caps to our local hospital. My little girl was 5lbs. 7oz. and she was born 12-27 - her cap was red and white candy stripes! Thanks again for such a feminine looking cap.

A man goes into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist if he can give him
something for the hiccups. The pharmacist reaches out and slaps the man's
face. "What did you do that for?" the man asks. "Well, you don't have the
hiccups anymore, do you?" The man says, "No, but my wife in the car still
does!"
My mom admitted to being a less than fastidious housekeeper.
One evening my dad returned home from work, walked into the
kitchen and said, "You know, dear, I can write my name in the
dust on the mantel."
Mom turned to him and sweetly replied, "Well, darling, that's why
I married a college graduate."
An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into
mischief, finally asked him, "How do you expect to get into
Heaven?"
The boy thought it over and said, "Well, I'll just run in and
out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St.
Peter says, 'For Heaven's sake, Jimmy, either come inside
or stay outside!'"
You didn't believe in me
An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat
was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast
tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it opened its mouth
to swallow both.
As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help me!"
At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist
hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds, "I thought
you didn't believe in Me!"
"Come on God, give me a break!!" the man pleaded. "two minutes ago I
didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!"
Well????
It was just after midnight, and there was a loud rapping at the
doctor's door. Dragging himself out of bed and poking his head
from the window, he shouted down at the lone figure. "Well?"
The woman looked up, "No, sick."

you've got."
