Advertising Cookies
This website will collect cookies through our use of AdSense to display ads. These ads help fund the website's running, so they're very important to me.
These cookies are collected and used by third-party vendors, including Google, to help serve you ads that are relevant to you based on your visit to my website and to other websites. That's why you might sometimes notice that you get more ads about yarn, for example, after looking at an online yarn retailer.
