What a cool set of one-skein links; thanks! I'm always buying too much yarn (better than too little) and wondering what to do with the leftovers.

I also wanted to let you know I recently revived my own long-languishing knitblog, LoopyKnits.com, and I've added your link to my blogroll. Hope you don't mind! You may not remember my name, but I got my first skein of Noro from you for doing some logos for your site. :O)

Ack! I can't seem to find the Panta pattern. Do you have a better link to it? I REALLY want to make one - from cotton ease perhaps - to wear this summer.

Pretty please for a link?
