This past week I got caught doing an anonymous RAK. I walk my dog early every morning. To save him walking out in the snow and ice, I have been putting my elderly neighbor's newspaper inside his front storm door. The newscarrier leaves it out by the road. I was at a Christmas party over the weekend and he told me he saw me one morning. So, it's not so secret anymore, but I continue to do it because it's been fun.

It was a big hit at a "family Christmas dinner" at Taylor last Sunday.... ...I'm new to the Loopy Ewe but have enjoyed watching the community you all have here and am incredibly impressed with the business!

I work in a nursing home. I nice nursing home, but a nursing home just the same. It can be depressing, expecially since many of the residents don't have families, or the families they do have doesn't visit any more. Anyway, our director asked all the employees to sign up to play Secret Santa. We have all adopted a resident or two and will leave little gifts and remembrances for them for the holidays. Everyone likes the idea so much, that we want to keep it up all year!!! It has brightened my outlook on Christmas and given me something positive to focus on.

How can I make your mint chip sugar cookies (detailed in the Knitting Contessa interview)? Aha, mint m&m's to the rescue - if I don't eat them all first. You call for 10oz. in the recipe and the bag is 11 oz. so I can eat 1 oz., right? We are awaiting yet another snow storm to cover the current layer of ice - it's wool sock weather for sure, here in Maine! Hope you're surviving your own weather! At least you have peppermint mocha's and eggnog lattes! I did a hunt for mint chocolate chips last night and today (3 places!) and they are not to be found anywhere!

I have to say, Sheri, that your website is the first I go to for a pick-me-up. The colors are outstanding and I always find something new! I hope your saving some great stuff for after the holidays! Then I can really spend my Christmas and graduation money on some nice stuff (not that you never have anything that's not nice). I'm sure some of us are up late cause we are studying for exams or doing final projects for school...I know I am! I spent from 10 am to 10:30 pm at the univ. library doing homework yesterday. Thank God there's a Starbucks right in the lobby! :-D ~Michelle PS I'm sending you some FL sun your way!!

Hope your Loopy Elves and their kids are all feeling better and back to work soon. The Noro is eye-popping! And cashmere Yarntini? Very, very dangerous.

Can you compare the base yarn to anything else you carry? Just a ditto on the many “What does it feel like” comments on the Noro. Can you compare the base yarn to anything else you carry?
