3. My money is on Big Boy Fezzix!
4. As I recall, just one person was going to St. Ives.
5. Pattern--I'm still hung up on dishcloths and hand towels.
6. According to Google (I should have used DuckDuck Go) the answer is Omaha, Nebraska.
7. If you put clothes on your cats, take them to advanced pet training and treat them as your children, I don't see why they shouldn't be considered dependents.
8. The Cubs are going to cause me to have a nervous breakdown.
9. Dessert? I'm guessing Elns Victorian sponge cake. I really want to make that!
10. My mind wanders when I knit, which is why I make such a mess at times.
2. A cowl
3. I know this one --- so I won't spoil the fun.
4. ???? - 1,363?
5. Shiny yarn, kind of thickish ---- had to be Dragonfly socks
6. Chicago?
7. My cat runs up expenses just as bad as a kid. I say DEDUCTION GRANTED!

3. Fezzik
4. No idea

7. I know someone who years ago added their vet bills to their medical bills for deductions. Vet bills are annoyingly HIGH these days. I say you should be able to take a deduction!

2. Orange is the new black. You can knit anything with it.
3. I have 7 cats for the same reason. A darn mouse ate the wires in my new Mini Cooper years ago. Hate'em.
4. I've got a pattern that's doing that to me right now. It seems simple enough but it is easy to get lost.
