Holy vampires batman!

May 23rd, 2008

I don’t know what’s going on but today I was checking the stats of my blog seeing who comes her and how they get here, and the number one search term that people use in finding my blog has nothing to actually do with knitting or such(which i would think would be the case) no the number one keyword is vampires 427 people since April(when i upgraded and thus got stats) have come to my blog(or more specifically one post in my blog) due to vampires! I have never written about vampires in fact the one mention of vampires in this blog was when I was talking about the vampire tours of San Francisco. Oh well!

In other news I have acquired some cracksilk kidsilk night in two beautiful colors starry night, and thunder, and are just beautiful!

I really can’t believe the beauty! I got this at the wonderful Knit World Studio out in the Lower Hutt. I have been meaning to make it there for awhile  but with work and it being so far out when I don’t have a car. Every fortnight they have a little knitting circle there and I finally made it this past Tuesday thanks to the help of Susan. Now I have never actually been to a stitch and bitch that was hosted at a yarn shop, and OMG am I ever so thankful that this was my first! the entire night all I wanted to do was cast on something new in each of the fabulous yarns… They were all so beautiful and wonderful. The actual group was such a lovely group of hilarious ladies, In short I had a blast! Sally who runs the studio is sweet and the studio itself was like a little yarn zen garden of relaxation! I deffinately can’t wait to make it out there again.

Back to the kidsilk night… I am thinking of making something soft, lacey, and feminine with this.. I was thinking maybe a lace ruffled scarf or something I’ll have to think some more about it! For now they will have to be content being desk pets.

Been Awhile…

May 21st, 2008

I am so very dreadfully sorry It has been awhile. I feel like I have been so very busy but now that i sit down I am trying to figure out what exactly I have been doing…. I haven’t been knitting too much… I cast on posey then ripped them. I also have somehow lost ryan’s sock in progress, I have no idea where it is! GRRRR…

Wow! I just took a look at my blog and realized how much growth I’ve got on the recycled shawl! So I just ploped it on the desk to take a picture of it and alas it was too big. So it went on the living room floor… but that meant miss nosey-bum had to investigate it!

It was rather impossible to get a picture without miss bossybum! but as you can see (using bunny for scale) it is about halfway done and looking just lovely I can’t wait to have it finished…. Also soon I should hopefully have some pictures of my fabulous split sweater, which I technically finished ages ago but have only just recently woven in the ends. and unfortunately that is all you are getting for today… I will try to be back soon then a month :-p
