by Martha Riecks 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

Hi - I think this question has been asked before, but it does not look like I ever saved the answer! I'm looking for referrals for an accountant who is familiar with small businesses start-ups (sole proprietorships and LLCs) and the city of Pittsburgh business registration and tax guidelines. Proximity to Highland Park/Shadyside and affordability are pluses! Thanks, Martha Riecks mriecks(a)gmail.com -- ------------------------------------------------- Martha Riecks - mriecks(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Knitting yarn wanted
by Susan Ryan 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

I am teaching after school kids to knit and am looking for some "chunky" yarn. Chunky weight is heavier than the normal knitting worsted but not too fat. I would prefer some pretty or bright colors as I already have tan and dark green. I would rather not have the trendy fuzzy yarn as it is difficult for beginners. If you have some you would like to donate or sell, I can pick it up. Many thanks. --
