Dino is. I ordered the Cool Alpaca sampler, and it contains a ball of Suri Dream in Gloxinia. Well I thought Dino would love it. (He usually loves feeling yarns up against his face.) Well turns out not. He did not like that ball of Suri at all! He said No! And pushed it away. I think he might have been afraid of it! Anyway, that made my day even more than new Harmony needle set. I think I'm gonna tease him with it, for a while longer... (yes I know I'm such a mean mommy), but the look on his fac… Continue

I was overjoyed and then quickly saddened today. After over a week of waiting I received my order from ebay, of two sweater wheels! Yes, sweater wheels. My momma used to have them (they got ruined in a flood) and I still have a pink sweater she made me using them. One is for set in sleeves and the other one is for raglan sleeves. Well they both came in the original plastic cover and are in pretty good condition, except for the raglan sleeve one. I turned it to the children's size side and low an… Continue

I have not posted in a while, and seeing this is the only blog I keep, I suppose I should write a bit of something. I did sign up for the account right? Well then!

I hav… Continue

So... I want to restart my shawl, again, I know. But I think I am in way over my head with this pattern I choose too. Luckily after searching Ravelry I found a simple repeat, it's only four rows... nothing too difficult. Hopefully. I've decided that if I take both hanks of Shimmer and knit double stranded I should have a nice length rectangular shawl. I think I'm gonna either go with size 7 or 8 needles. The pattern calls for size 5 using a fingering weight wool. So... who knows maybe this is ye… Continue

So I finally finished the first sock for my baby's daddy. Indeed. It looks lovely. Sad thing is, I have a decent amount left over which means I could have made the cuff at least another inch longer than the five inches it is. Oh well... another iPod cozy for my sister Sam then. I really liked working with Gloss. It knits up beautifully, it sparkles really! Anyway now I have to knit sock number two, then I'm gonna knit up a pair for Sam, and finally decide on what pattern to do for my pair... I j… Continue
