W.I.P March 13 2010


I cast on for these socks 2 days ago. The yarn smells terrible but wasn't covered in any ash. The pattern is called Fannie's Sock Pattern and it was made by the company that dyed the sock yarn.


Currently this is my stash and library. Yep. All of it. I'm sure that I will go through both skeins in no time - and how many clog socks can I possibly knit up? I guess we'll see. My super BFF has been printing out patterns that I lost in the fire which has been making me feel less like I've lost my left arm. I can't wait to talk to the fiber guy in 3 weeks to check on house the de-smoking of my stash is going!

    So that's like three whole skeins better than I thought you were doing. :) I would be in serious withdrawal.

    You can totally come over and raid my stash if you'd like! I'm dyeing like crazy for Convergence, so I have a ton!

Bowls With Boarders!

There is this great blog hop that I joined. It is called bowls with boarders. Regina came up with this great paper piece pattern - which I used to stack them this high.  Please check out all the other bowls for today! Birgit H. Vicki B. Monika G. Scher (no post) Dorothea Rosa Patch.The Love Of Sewing Nuclear Knits Cottage-Quilt Cattinka Hill Valley Quilter Ninis Patchwork   I wanted a table runner but didn't want to keep stacking bowls - so I decided to take my favorite fabric and use it on the other half. After that I decided my love of hexagons had to come out as well.  This was an incredibly fun project!  You should check out the rest of the bowls on the site.  So impressive!

F.O. Stupidly Simple Shawl

Image
I love putting FO in the subject line. Makes me feel like I've done something good! Project Details: Started on March 6th and finished on June 5th. Longer than one would think - but this was the car or doctor's office project. Not something I worked on all the time. I used 6 skeins of Bristol Yarn Gallery Buckingham Fingering alpaca yarn held together. Well I held two strands together (not all 6 at one time). This gave me the weight I wanted and it still drapes well I think. The pattern is really only 2 sentences long. I used size 7 needles and didn't change anything from the pattern. It was really a fun project!

When Crafting Goes Bad Part II

Image
Well I did it again. No I didn't cut my finger with the rotary blade - but I might as well have. In an attempt to get my big spinning wheel working I was testing out some fiber - when all of a sudden the whole flyer and bobbin came off and slammed into my big toes. I'm pretty sure it is broken or really badly bruised. I've been icing it and it hurts to walk. Again the hubby wonders why hobbies are so violent! Ps - I know I have ugly toes...get over it, they are feet!
