A poll taken by a heretic...

I hesitate to do this because I'm afraid nobody will read yesterday's post, which offers a teaser to BITTERMOON that I'm particularly proud of. But I can't help myself...

I'm such a sucker for a poll--I got this one from Samurai, and I'm going to outrage the purists and fill it out including my crochet experience...any art that utilizes fiber can not be despised!!!
