a contest !!!

Allison over at http://www.simplysockyarn.com is having a contest on her blog http://www.simplysockyarn.typepad.com/ to celebrate her 3 yr. store anniversary. you could win a skein of sKNITches Syncopation, wow !!! or maybe i could win it...even bigger wow !!!

on a personal note, i'm still the only person on the net who cannot figure out the button thing, but i've been letting it dog me for far too long, so i'm gonna try to post to my pictureless, almost buttonless blog anyway, until i figure it out. just finished reina socks from the first installment of woolgirl's sock club, and what a fun knit it was. they came out gorgeous, but you'll just have to trust me on that for now.

okay...i'm here

here is my first blog entry, so i can say i have a blog and not be lying about it. i have no idea what i'm doing .....this is definitely one of the things that gets my whiskers all twisted up--i am practically hissing at this point. i wish i had a tail.
i don't have a digital camera, which makes for a dead boring blog, but i suppose this will light that fire under my butt to get one...soon, because risiko cannot have a boring blog. that will just not do.
