In Knitting Knews.....Finally!

Finally, something knitterly to report! I am working on couple of scarves.

One, an airy, lacey number of my own design from a lovely light blue Alpaca and the other is the famous Irish Hiking Scarf that is such fun to knit, and my first try at cables, from Plymouth Encore Colorspun. WOW -- what fun! Who knew cables were so easy -- and that yarn is quite nice as well...and I thought I was a yarn snob too, but for being mostly acrylic, this is quite nice stuff?

I also got some Estelle Cashmere in this colorway in anticipation of my first Clapotis by design GENIUS Kate Gilbert

Pictures to come later this evening....hopefully!

Best invention since DPN's!!!



FOUND HER! These things are the greatest invention since DPN's -- Call me old fashioned, I do enjoy 12" circs. for the boring stuff, but there is nothing better for gussets and shaping than DPN's IMHO and since I don't care much for switching needles -- I just usually use them all the time....

Which brings me to The Needle Keeper!

Needle Keepers are THE greatest things I've seen EVER!! Marilyn is a genius :) Check her out, and no, I do not own stock in the company...just a very, very happy customer!! Hurry, before she sells out, again ;)

Look Ma! I am NOT a yarnaholic!

I am a yarn collector! And I have the button to prove it -- Thanks to Judy from Persistent Illusion

Long time, no write!

I knew this was going to be hit and miss at best, but I really do promise to try to do a better job of updating here once I can actually finish some projects :) Honest!

Ahhh, haaa...

As you can see, I've done just dandy keeping up here. That is mostly because nothing at all is happening here. I have not knit a stitch in months, but I am itching to and really have to get back to it before I forget how!

For now...
