I was going to go with a theme edition of Yarnival. You know, Spring Break, or maybe St. Patty's Day. Lent, anyone? Yeah. I didn't think so. I was a little light on entries, probably due in part to February being such a short month. My theme idea ran out of steam as the entries rolled in, and I decided to play it straight. So, without further ado, I present the March 15th 2007 edition of Yarnival! Enjoy!
YARNIVAL
We've All Got Stories...
Get gussied up and head on over to the Mystery House where Miss T shows us why yarn is just like lipstick.
Kate shares her stages of grief, er, I mean, writing a dissertation, as well as the kinds of knitting that accompany each stage.
A DPN stages an intervention. Karen swears she's not an addict. I'll believe her for now, but all bets are off if she shaves her head.
News and Reviews
LimeDragon reviews book holders to help us multi-task in ways we never dreamed possible.
Interested in living green and how to apply that concept to your craft? Leslie wants to help. She asks some tough questions and gives us a few answers.
DIY
Jackie shows us how to make a hackle so we can spin yarn as decadent as hers.
Rhonda schools us on needle felting. At the same time, she takes needle felting to a level that will blow your mind. You must check out her incredible works of art. Just try not to drool on your keyboard while you look, you wouldn't want to short anything out, now, would you?
Crime Wave Sweeps Blogland!
Ruth launches an all-out war against a thief with a penchant for wool. Chemgrrl valiantly tries to defend herself against a frightening assault at her local yarn store, only to have her assailant follow her home and make unreasonable demands. Emma commits a crime of passion against a sock that has done her wrong.
Finishing School
WARNING: Elspeth's stunning jacket may cause you to run out and buy jodhpurs, a riding helmet, and a horse.
I just love it when a plan comes together. So do Carrie and Team Athens.
Look! A front row ticket to Fashion Week!
Dawn shares her thoughts on a popular pattern and shows us the finished product, a lovely scarf.
Fairy beds and booze....just another day for Hannah.
Stop and Smell the Roses Yarn
Nowadays most of us are involved with fiber arts out of love, not necessity, but it is important to remember our history. We've come a long way, baby.
We all know the rush we get when we finish something. The thrill we feel when we cast off that last stitch, sew up those seams, and slip into something hand knit. In your hurry to have a finished object, do you ever lose sight of the process? One blogger reminds us to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the latest Yarnival. Be sure and submit an entry for the next issue, being hosted by mega(k)nits. The more entries submitted, the beefier the Yarnival.
Thanks so much! :)

Do I dare tell you I've only been needle felting since December?
