My friend Barb has a machine which stamps messages on little metal coins. Tres cool. Apparently they were around in the 70's - at Union Station, Centre Island, probably lots more tourist traps. (I wouldn't know - my parents weren't keen on anything that required money.) You select some letters and it punches your message (for a lasting keepsake!) on the metal token.

She made me this:I'm "Sensei" because I know how to read a pattern and can tell the difference between worsted and fingering weight yarn. Not exactly onerous qualifications, but I'm tickled pink none the less. Barb and Cathy are "Members". Hee. So pleasing. I find the "Good Luck" very appropriate in so many ways.

Also - I saw this on Steeles on my way home from work and I really wanted it. Too bad I don't have a pickup any more.
And I must have a disorder - I want to knit this for Amy Singer:


I loves me some Viking sweater. Miraculously (seriously) I have the same number of stitches in each section of knitting, exactly the right amount.
