Long-tail Cast On!
Yes, Jessica taught me (again) how to do the Long Tail Cast On. I believe she also taught me last year when I cast on my Elsa Wool sweater....thanks to Jessica that she is such a good teacher, so sorry that my memory is not that great.....How exciting to cast on for a new Custom Fit Sweater!

Bye Bye WIPs ~
The day has come when one needs to review one's Works In Progress and ask The Clash question, "Should I stay or should I go?" Say Bye Bye to Bonnie, my ribbon tank top that was cast on a long time ago, perhaps in 2008?
Say Bye Bye to my baby blue lacey top that had hidden armpits that I could never locate in the pattern notes....
Both projects were listed on the blog as "On The Needles" items #1 and #2, yet both predate Ravelry. Now I can cast on more projects!
