I've just read, via ruby_wings, that Costco has those little liqueur chocolate thingies. Y'know, the little bottle-shaped chocolates with booze inside?

Believe it or not, if you read the ingredients, they're vegan, last I checked.

Damn, I gotta get me to Costco. I love those things.

this is unrelated, but I'm trying to teach myself to knit. Got any good websites that might help? So far every time I try to cast on the third stitch I loose both of them and end up with just my slipknot again. Its frustrating, and a little amusing.

Best knitting website ever. She's got quicktime videos of everything imaginable, does everything in both continental and english style (if/when there's a difference), and goes nice and slow and explains everything. Totally awesome.

Hee. I'm enjoying my current project so much, I have to bribe myself with it. "Do the dishes, do two rows. Fill out one application, do a row..."

Thanks. I'm working on casting on now. There are a couple of people here that know how to knit and they are 'helping'. If the phone would quit ringing it would probably go faster because I have to keep putting it down.

Tell me casting on is the hard part. Crochet is a lot easier.

Casting on is tricky, but I don't know if it's the "hard" part.

Since you learned crochet first, try to learn the continental style of knitting. You're already used to holding the yarn in your left hand, yes?

That, and while it can be harder to learn (although it might not be, for you) continental will be way faster when you get the hang of it. I learned "english" style, and even though I can do continental, it feels totally awkward to me, so I don't do it!
