		<description><![CDATA[StringThing&#8217;s 3rd birthday was preceded by a massive yarn swap.  I think it&#8217;s safe to say there were hundreds of balls and skeins of yarn&#8230;
And a really grand yard sale:  our biggest ever! Thanks very much to everyone for the amazing  donations and extremely helpful helping.  We  have built quite a [...]]]></description>

Knitting with yarn that I got at the swap
A sudden cold feeling came over my being and

		<title>Train to Greensboro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hear the train a comin&#8217;
It&#8217;s rolling round the bend
And I ain&#8217;t seen a yarn store since I don&#8217;t know when,
We knit at the ball park and the Eeeeeeeeno,
But that train keeps a rollin&#8217; on down to Greensboro.
When I was just a baby my mama said something:

		<title>May: Stringthing at the Fiber Festival</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I admit, I was surprised and delighted to see that the Carolina Fiber Festival in Raleigh was such a Big Deal:  there was even a Ferris Wheel!  I had no idea kitting was already hip enough to get a whole ferris wheel&#8230;  and a tractor parade&#8230;. and pig racing&#8230;    wait&#8230;.

		<title>String Spring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[April started with an Easter Sunday Basket-Along, led by our intrepid Teresa.  I am shocked and sorry to say that my own baskets were horrifying lumpy bundles of shame, but delighted to add that everyone who actually followed the directions ended up with a completely adorable little basket of perfection.


We had a welcome-baby party for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Service Work Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
This spring I was kind of thinking of a light-hearted, fun activity to support a cheerful sort of charity. Lots of us have new puppies and kittens; I thought it might be fun to do something for the local pet shelter. And then there was that earthquake. Yeah.
