I think it may be time for rehab! It probably goes something like this: "Hello, my name is Leah, and I am a fiber addict. I buy fiber with such frequency, and in such quantities, that I have on several occasions forgotten which project I had in mind when I placed the order. It has been less than twenty-four hours since my last purchase." Hopefully it won't require any time as an inpatient. They will probably just take away my credit and debit cards, as well as my computer (or at least my cable modem) and put one of those thingies on my car that I have to blow into to prove that I don't have any yarn fiber on my breath before it will start. (This is not as ludicrous as it sounds. I get very intimate with my yarn. But please, no gutter thoughts. I fondle only)!
For your vicarious enjoyment, I give you the following:

Top row, from left to right:
-Classic Elite Yarns Premiere in Tearose tagged for Just Peachy, Vogue Knitting Spring/Summer 2004
-Dale of Norway Svale in the colors needed for the tank on the left from Dalegarn #143. (The green will be arriving on the 23rd according to UPS along with some Lopi that was backordered).
-Denim Silk by Berroco for a cropped tank from Vogue Knitting Spr/Sum 2003.
-Madil Kid Seta in Pink Cloud. This is slated to become the Cherry Blossom Shawl from IK Spring 2002.
-Sock yarn! There's Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock in Vera, Black Purl, Blackwatch, and Watercolor, Handpainted Opal Sock Yarn in colors 17, 19 and 20 (shouldn't something this pretty have a name? I am a sucker for creative naming), and Handpainted Twinkletoes from eBay seller lotusblossom in Cranapples, Goldfire, and Autumn2 (now that's what I'm talkin' about)!!
-Finally! The Inky-dinky Spider Stole by Fiddlesticks Knitting. This is a kit that includes 5 skeins of Artisan NZ Merino Lace in Pansy (these suckers are gorgeous but tiny, only 20 grams each). I purchased this kit from The Knitting Zone, and I have to say, these people provide pretty close to instant gratification. I placed my order Sunday May 15th, and it was waiting for me Wednesday May 18th when I got home from work! And the shipping is free over $40. WOO-HOO!!

Well, my friend, I am stumped on your technical issue. (Scary thing, considering I do this for a living.) I took a look at your code and see no obvious error. I'll look at it some more when I get the chance. By the way, my favorite pic is the purple yarn smily face!

You know, your yarn problem could be much, much worse... what if you didn't have such great taste in yarn? LOL.
