Yarn Buying

I know I know I like I need more yarn. But I wanted to check out Knit N Knibble's new store. I know I know they moved there over a year ago. I never got around to going. It is a lot further south than their old store, don't see myself going there often. The store itself was nicely set up plenty of space for knitting and an area with a small able and shelves of books and patterns to look through. (Damn forgot to look at the Rowan Mags) There seemed to be less yarn than the old store. But it might really be that it is in a smaller area.

I did pick up some more sock yarn in solids something lacking from my current sock yarn stash and a pair of square double points.

Sock Woe

I have had a lot of sock woe of late. I started 2 socks and both were too BIG. So I have recasted them on going down a couple sizes. My gauge was bang on but the yarn is different so that is the only think I can think of.

What's on The Needles....

Jaywalker and scarf.

I am making another pair of Jaywalkers out of some Lang sock yarn and a scarf that was on the Paton's website for their Silk Bamboo yarn line.

New Knitty

Spring/Summer

Well all I can say about it is it's out.

Happy Dance Time...

I got into the Loopy Ewe Sock Club!

This is the first club I have been a part of. The others were just too expensive wanting the money all up front.

Cleaning

Not much knitting or anything else going on- cleaning the work and living areas. I have this horrible need to be organized before my creative mojo flows again.

Question time...

I was wondering how people organized their jewelry and beading supplies. You would think after all these years I would have a system that works other than pulling out of boxes.

Also: Sorry I have not posted for so long. I am still alive. Just a lot of personal crap happened this year, including finding out my department was being let go but with no date as of when. Not to worry I found a new job within the bank...then have had all that stress from learning new stuff and being back in a production area.

Underwhelmed...

The only way to describe the preview of Interweave Knits Summer Preview...Underwhelmed.

Kind of glad my subscription lapsed.

Ooh Socks on the Sticks

Trying very hard to kill some stash here.

I found this in my sock stash. No clue why I bought it...it is really not my colors. I do like how the yarn feels soft and smooshie.

The pattern is Wendy's Generic Toe Up Sock with the Magic Cast On from Knitty (my favorite for toe up).

This sock I am aiming for a nice snug fit. Most of my socks have been slouchy that I wear around the house.

I was on vacation in early March. I went up to Williamsburg, VA. I forgot to bring a scarf of any kind, instead I used it as some motivation to actually get some knitting one.

Dunedin Arts Festival

Today, I spent a couple hours walking around the Dunedin Arts Festival. There was not a whole lot of vendors but the crowds were good. People were buying mainly smaller prints and card sized prints. One vendor had some really nice illustrations which you could have done with a whimsical frame from $35. I will try to get some images up tomorrow.

I wish...

I work with someone who will come up to your desk pick something up and say can she have it? Today it was my breakfast. Yesterday it was a pen someone gave me...tomorrow who knows.

Someone always says?" I hope they know she is kidding."

I wish...I had the nerve to say "No honestly I don't know that. "

She might be kidding but she is also hoping you will give in and give it to her since others do.

I think next time I hear "I hope you know she is kidding."

I will say "Honestly, no I don't" and walk a way.

Let the knitting begin

As I had mentioned previously I frogged a scarf that I was not feeling and was going to redo in a Yarn Harlot pattern. I cast on and so far am loving it. It is not far enough along to photo yet maybe by Saturday.

Stupid people

Someone did something at work today...no clue who it was on but it had to be someone in the building maintenance because all of a sudden the area by me was flooded with a chemical smell. It smelt like a concentrated form of Comet of all things. My nose started burning and then my eyes...finally it decided to give me a lovely headache. Big problem since I was working on goal numbers for the coming year for management.

Which also means I didn't get hardly anything accomplished when I got home other than putting the new Janet Evanovich audio book Plum Spooky on my Ipod.

Nite everyone...

Sigh...so not working

I like the colors I picked to do the highlighting just need to switch to paints rather than watercolor pencils.
