Is anyone out there?

Ravelry and Stash!

I'm working on my stash as it comes into the house and will go back from there - I will need to have some free time to make a big dent in it because I have had mandatory OT at work and now I am behind in school and I have to get caught back up - whee! and I do not want to put stuff on Ravelry that I do not have pics of ;) So there!

You can see my current progress here. :) Woo Rainbowy!

Yes - I am alive!

I have discovered Ravelry - See me there :)

Entrelac Progress

Just a little post to let folks see how I am progressing on my Entrelac Scarf - I am using Paton's SWS in Geranium because it is what I had handy! Hope you like it!

Knit Mitt Kit Swap Goodies!

Look at all the goodies Sue sent me from all the way in England - the Fetching pattern, two luscious balls of Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK - Brittany DPNs and Cable Needles, Chocolates, Tea, and other cool goodies...

All packed in this wondeful felted bag - I love everything! Thanks Sue

Ok ok - I'll update...

Well I really have been knitting - I have been working on the blanket below - I call it the never ending baby blanket although I think I see an end soonish...

I am teaching myself how to knit in several colors so when the new Knitty came out Center Square caught my attention - I had the Paton's Wool in the perfect pirate colors so here is my red and black Center Square - I had to take a little sanity break in the never ending baby blanket and this was perfect - methinks more of these will be flying off the needles in different colors...


For those who know me know that Fun Fur and other fuzzy yarn is usually not on my list of must have yarns - I love the classics - good old wool, Lamb's Pride Worsted, etc - well the yarn below has been calling my name for some time - it is Prisma in color way 400 - it is rainbow - well in my world rainbows trump fuzzy - at least this time - I am learning the ins and out of knitting with this type of yarn - "ripping" it out is virtually impossible! Blargh - I think I am doing ok so far though! The scarf is a super simple scarf pattern I got from the yarn show where I got the yarn and I think it is perfect for showcasing the fun nature of the yarn...




and last but not least I have been teaching knitting and crochet at my local Michaels Arts and Crafts - I made one sample for them so far but need to take a picture of it - it is like the bulky cabled purse I made way back in January of last year but in Brown Wool Ease Thick and Quick - it looks pretty good too - the teaching is fun - I make a little money getting to do something I enjoy and I am helping others learn a new skill - all good things in my book...

Look at all those wonderful goodies my SP 7, rabbits, sent me! Sparkly Sock Yarn! A little Lambikins! (who now lives on my computer monitor!) Books! Dark Chocolate! Foofy Pink Yarn! and a Pedicure set - something anyone can use! Thank you rabbits!


I also have a little finished project here for my OSSP - I know it is late but I did not have much encouragement to get it finished! It is the cotton bib from Mason Dixon Knitting...
