More Yarn Please!

So this weekend was pretty decent. I finally finished that sleeve. Except for you know having to rip out a bunch because I’d dropped a stitch. Oops. Anyway so I finished the sleeve and added a few inches to my scarf.

Sunday we went and picked up our new to us TV. It’s HD but a [...]

The Fiber Haul

So with all the sales going on (which so far I have managed to not order from) my initial plan was to pick up two items and some handmade soap. I wanted to get Color in Spinning and a niddy noddy. I was however DENIED. There had been one copy of the book and [...]

Tennessee Fiber Fair

So Saturday Claire, Judie, Phil and I headed down to Dickson to the Tennessee Fiber Festival. We planned on doing some shopping and then going to plant world and then finally lunch at boobies. Home of the famous boobie burger. We went there last year and everyone loved it. So first up was [...]

Megaupdate….

You know I took the following photos so long ago they aren’t really even accurate as to where I am in my projects but what the hell. I did a bit of stash enhancement because I had a gift cert to yarn market and I realized I wanted yarn to make basic black from magknits [...]

NA*X*MO

Happy Scary Day

Damnit I *got* gauge…

So in a fit of cosmic irony I found out far too late that I got gauge on the zip cardi. This is a knitradgedy because uhh well I was under the impression that I hadn’t gotten gauge so I had upsized accordingly. Now I have a tent sized most of a cardigan. In a [...]

Pron for Friday…

Ok I was being incredibly optimistic when I thought of doing a weekly review and a weekly heresy so…now they’ll be here when I’m inspired and when I need to test a new technique. However this week I do have something for you. I made some blocking boards this week and wrote up a [...]

Yarn Pron and Half an FO

So I did manage to get some dying done this week. I’ve been trying to use up my knitpicks bare for gifts since its so not my favorite yarn.

The one in the middle isn’t that accurate as its different shades of pink and red, but the other two are fairly close. The one on the [...]

Is yarn gluttony one of the 7 deadly sins or is it a knitting virtue?

So I have been sort of saving stuff cause I really am attempting to be a better blogger. Anyway a while back while looking at the fold, I saw what to my mind was one of the most amazing STR colorways out there. So first I called BMFA and they told me (nicely) they didn’t [...]
