serenity in crochet?

I had an odd dream last night.  Maybe it was due to the drop in degrees, or the huge bursts of wind rattling the windows, or the sound of tree branches crackling and falling, or maybe it also had to do with my finishing another Preemie set (blanket & hat) and the scarf for charity I started late last night.

Whatever the reason, I can still vividly recall "hearing" in my sleep Rod Stewart singing, "If you want my body and you think I'm sexy come on sugar let me know.  If you really need me just reach out and touch me..."  But what made the dream odd was that his backup singers were skeins of yarn, the band was twisted hanks of yarn (the drummer was banging on the drum with crochet hooks) ... and they were shooting a video for MTV to go with the song!  The video was all on how to make textured crochet stitches and petting the various types of yarn.  Weird, weird, weird; I know!!  (Odder yet, I don't have cable, so watching music videos is not something I'm used to!)

Well, I suppose if I'm going to get this song stuck in your head (and possible dreams) then the least I can do is offer you, my readers, an interesting news article ... go ahead, download the song to your ipod and then go here: Find a pocket of serenity in crochet hook and an iPod  (this is the first time I've seen a news article offer a free crochet pattern!)

OK now, sing with me: "If you want my body and you think I'm sexy come on sugar let me know.  If you really need me just reach out and touch me..."
