Yes it does. Someone I know was contacted by Spin-Off about their knitted with hand-spun project. They wanted to feature it in an article in an upcoming issue. Sorry that I have to be very, very vague. Don’t think that Spin-Off would appreciate any info leaked out on issues not yet published. What I am saying is that get your projects listed on Ravelry. Give details. Lots of details. Take serious photos of your projects. Make them beautiful. Tag them smartly. Someone just might want to show off your items in their publications.
Did I give anything away? No? Good. In other news. I got a new toy!
I blame Chris for this. He got me to start text messaging seriously. (It’s great for an introvert. 
) I had to get a proper tool for that! Great timing though. I was up for a nice discount for phone upgrade. So I got this green LG Rumor. Apparently the green represents green earth, being green. I didn’t know that. What a nice surprise. I feel so connected!
Thanks for a giant box of tea and cotton fiber, Chris! I will make you proud!
I’ve been busy spinning, too. A couple of hours each day. I did plying last night. Man! It took 4 hours to finish the 774 yards of 2-ply Merino/Angelina. And it’s only half done. Got about 4 more oz left to do. I think it’s quite nice though. Here are a couple of pictures. I will take another one when it’s dry. Hopefully it will show the sparkles better.

Wow, congrats to whoever that may be… :^)
Nice new toy! Chris is so nice.
Beautiful yarn, Jason. I’m spinning everyday, and someday I hope to spin as beautifully as you.

Dude! Click on the photos. They link to Flickr where you can select the original size!
Actually the the pic doesn’t show what the twists look like after the setting is done. I will take another photo today.
Isn’t that the strangest thing that we both have the same phone? Same color?

Congrats on the new toy, I just got a new one too, an LG Env2 which is kindof similar to yours but it flips open to the keyboard–LOVE the keyboard, I do love my texting.

Texting can be dangerously addictive.
