FFF 2009
Over heard on Friday at school: "I'm not going to FFF this year...nope....I have too much yarn and I haven't knitted down last year's purchases.....need to go on a yarn diet.....so I'm staying home."So, what happened?

Someone needed to go get her a little lace yarn and I felt it should be me!
