WELCOME TO OUR COUNTDOWN!

Until the newly-expanded FRESH YARN site launches,
each week we'll be bringing you:

We've mined the FY vaults filled with SIX YEARS of personal essays, and picked two fresh-tastic pieces that randomly connect in some way.

For instance... this week's MASH UP features
two different pieces about LUCILLE BALL!
What will next week's theme be?
Come back and see, won't ya?
