Kittens, Knitting, and Random Blah

In one month, two days and approx. two hours, I will have been out of the womb for sixteen years. And since I might otherwise forget to let the family know what I want, here is my list:

Books:
The Yarn Girls’ Guide to Simple Knits
French language reference books (not dictionaries)
Great Knitted Gifts
Knit Wit (Amy R. Singer)

Magazine subscriptions:
Interweave Knits
Creative Knitting
Vogue Knitting
Knitscene
Family Circle Easy Knitting
Knitting Digest (best value, actually. 10-12 patterns/issue, bimonthly, = about 60 patterns/year, plus articles)

2 balls of NY Yarns “Fluff” in red or blue (go to Meijers and pet it to see why)

Double-pointed needles in any size (preferably sets of five needles)

$ for French trip (June ‘06)

So yeah, that's it. I plan on having a party the Saturday after my birthday, actually. Mmm...with cheesecake, or Boston Cream Pie. Mmm. The icing on store-bought cakes is just too weird for me. I guess it's the frosting equivalent of Red Heart yarns. I'm a frosting snob ^_^.
