Silly Girl

I’m sooooo Sorry to My Spoiler I also forgot to mention that I got hand knit Warsh rag from Mason Dixon Knitting…. sooo wonderful… the reason i forgot is because I wisked it off away to use in the shower instantly…

In other news i’m buying myself a spinning wheel for my birthday(sept 13th) and Chanukah, and Next years Birthday… I put it on layway @ Carolina Homespun and I am paying 20 dollars a month… I’m also directing all my friends to get me gift certificates there for my birthday and Chanukah hoping i’ll be able to get the spinning wheel sooner… what wheel did I get??

why This one double treadle of course after actually using one etc…

P.S. I’ve also been making lace yarn lately with my drop spindle…. yes yes i know i’m crazy….

SP booty

So I got my final package from my sp and it is the single most wonderful package ever!!!!

**The single most beautiful sock yarn ever by miss babs(she’s the same person who did the fleece my sp sent me) I must find this miss babs and devote my life to being her slave… This yarns is superwash wool and blues and teals and greens and mermaidy…..

**postcards of the beautiful north carolina… Oh how I miss forests and woods (I’m from michigan)

**fall vogue knitting some cute stuff in there that’s fer sure esp in the ad for alchemy yarns…

**tropical dots…. Never had these actually even tho dots are my alltime favorite candy…. I was not dissapointed… And then were gone before I was home(I have PO box soooo)

** the best part was a beautiful vintage apron its OMG its white gauze with these red hankercheif deatails including matching pocket…. Words can’t describe it, it beauty is such…

Now some of you may know I adore vintag aprons and have a rather large collection…. This started when I was a barista I needed pockets that were easy to get to…. Tada aprons but there are a lot of ugly ones now so I started buying vintage ones…. And now I have over 30 and constitantly lookong for more so this was the most perfect gift EVER!!!!!!!

Knitting news…
So I’m still working on the lace and the socks and the sweater… But I’m also test knitting Anne’s skirt pattern sangria and I think after my fifth try I finally got it… But now I have no desire to knit it….must knit it… Well I have all of tomorrow off so maybe ill make some progress on it….. I also got some german sock yarn that reminds me of Jem…. I think its going to become wrist warmers along with the miss babs mermaid yarn….

Well that’s it for now…. Pictures soon I promise I just need to find that stupid cord….

I’m alive I really am…

Sorry between computer problems and stupid busy schedule I’ve not been updating and for that I’m really sorry…

I’ve been working and I’m putting together this benefit for The Icarus Project which has been driving me insane as everything that could go wrong has…. But I think over all it will be fun….

Knitting…

I’ve been pounding away on the wedgewood blouse I swear to the knitting goddess that it has been 8 inches for three weeks even though I work on it at least every other day and I knit several rows each time it may never be done… Also finished dome socks tore out some socks like ryans we weren’t talking for like a monthe ripit ripit it got frogged… I’m also designing three lace shawls two are charted and one is in my head….

I’m also pursuing making a moshknit book that has been taking up a lot of my time….

Secretpal

Today is merediths company picnic… So I’m on my way there… I’m taking three knitting projects… A pair of fearless fibers socks if I just happen to have time… Wedgewood blouse if I’m semi bored and lace if I’m bored outta my skull….
