Knitting and spinning continues apace, albeit slowly. I do not have carpal tunnel, but it's undeniable that something is wrong. Fortunately I have heavy braces to sleep in at night, which are helping considerably; I'm due to visit a hand clinic in January.
So no pics--things have been too complicated lately to entail finishing any one thing or taking pics of what I do wrap up--but there is an eventthe annual Huron Valley Rat Rescue raffle!
Huron Valley Rat Rescue is a non-profit animal rescue in Michigan. They've been around several years and have helped a lot of animals that would otherwise have been homeless, killed, or abused. Rats are civilized, engaging little animals, but they don't get quite the advocacy or respect that larger animals get. That's when folks like the HVRR step in and provide concrete help and rehoming for at-risk rats.
Raffle tickets are only $1, and although many of the prizes are rat-related, many are not--including a $25 gift cert to Laughing Rat Studio, my own yarn/fiber business. You can choose what prize you're entering for and everything, too! If you have a couple bucks to spare, I hope you'll consider purchasing a raffle ticket or two.
Incidentally, my own little engaging rat friend, Ira, passed away last week. Corny as it sounds, if you ever heard one of my rat stories and thought it was funny, or if you ever looked at the rat pics in my Flickr account and thought "Hey, they aren't such scary little dudes after all," then I especially hope you'll consider getting a raffle ticket. :)
