I have been diligently trying (as always) to resist the siren song of the sweater. Oh, how I want to cast on for a sweater… any sweater. But, I digress. I have been resisting and instead, I picked up a sock that was started back in August of last year. Remember this sock? Well, I [...]

Ewe Give Me the Spins
Posted in new yarn, spinning, Uncategorized on January 3, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Seems like there has been an awful lot of spinning here over the last week or so. I can’t take credit for all of the new and wonderfully yummy yarn that has been recently added to my collection. It was selflessly donated by my good friend. And, it won’t be in my possession much longer, [...]
Obligatory Xmas Post
Posted in Bunny, Life, Monkey, new yarn on December 27, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Well, another Xmas has come and gone. Much fun was had by all. Bunny got so many presents, she forgot to open two of them. No kidding! Grandma and I found them later on that night and just about peed our pants laughing. No surprise that Bunny was super thrilled the next morning when she [...]
Rhinebeck Revisited
Posted in Book Review, Bunny, Life, Monkey, new projects, new yarn, Rhinebeck, Travel on November 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Have you seen this? Pure genius! I bought this at Rhinebeck because I loved the colors and thought that the intarsia strip that is designed to run down the center of the sock was interesting. Little did I know I had so much more to be excited about. The kit, designed by the Tsarina of [...]

Potential

I am currently in the process of trying to pare down my WIP’s. See, every so often, something comes over me and I realize that my start-itis has gotten way out of hand and I have so many projects on the needles that I can’t keep them all straight. So, I start working on the [...]

Flashing the Stashing

So, I figured that I would flash some of the Duet and other yarns that I got whilst in Seattle in a pathetic attempt to distract you from the fact that I still haven’t taken any photos of the car. See, TG has taken the car and parked it in the garage. Turns [...]
…And We’re Back
Posted in lace, new yarn, Travel, yarn stuffs on August 26, 2008 | 2 Comments »
So, we flew down to Seattle, WA on Thursday of last week to buy a car from a dealership in Bellevue. Then, we spent five days in Seattle and surrounding areas playing before we drove the two days it took to get home. What did we do? Well, let’s see, we bought lots of yarn… [...]

I finished the second of the five projects that I entered into the Ravelympics. Remember this WIP from last year? Yarn: Misti Pima Cotton Silk in Eggplant, Green, Blue, and Cream. I think I used about 2 skeins each (this stuff has fabulous yardage) to make this crib size. Needles: US 7 Denise [...]
