Voila, my latest completed work! A sock made from the nice Greenfibres animal-hair yarn. It's the first sock I've made that actually fits me and isn't so thick it's a slipper, and I'm not sure if I have enough yarn for another - but then, I wear odd socks so it doesn't even matter. Hurrah! Here it...
I just realized I didn't knit at all today. Usually, I sit down at some point and just chill and work on a project, but somehow, I got busy and didn't. But I did start planning my next projects. I know a few of the gifts I'll be working on for the holiday season already, and so I was sketching those...
(I made these for the Ravelympics.)
Today I found out about a wonderfully wonderful knitting event, the Ravelympics! Basically, it's a free-for-all where knitters/crocheters/spinners/etc. pick crafty events to participate in. You can't start the project(s) until the opening ceremony, and you have to finish before the closing ceremony....
Honestly, if it weren't for my trip to California and my visits with the Guppy, I would have had my lowest money spent on yarn month next to the one where I didn't spend any at all. However, the purpose of visits to yarn stores on road trips is to pick up yarn that you don't regularly see in your...
I've decided to move back here to Vox after a bit of an absence. I had started and maintained my own website for some time, but between work and school I'm just not finding the time to keep it up to date. It is also getting hard to maintain on my tightened budget. Since joining Ravelry, there isn't...
I've just ordered Aunt Lydia's Baby Denim cotton again, from another place aside Knitting Warehouse. They didn't have white anymore, so I had to find a different place. Unfortunately, the shipping costs were a little more expensive... And this time I had to buy double. I'm making two dresses this...
*note: there are a couple of links in this post that link to my projects list in Ravelry. If you aren't a member of Ravelry you won't be able to see them but if you are, well, there ya go. this may or may not be the reason i have frogged the beginnings of a lace scarf about ten times now. i finally...
So, I will be sharing a stand with someone at the Swansea Show in Singleton Park on Sunday 25th and Monday 26th of May, the bank holiday! I will be spending much time making stationery like a crazy thing, and I might try and sell some knitted things too, because the more the merrier. On a more...
What a day. It started quite early, leaving the house by 6:00 AM to get there by 7:15 (had to stop for coffee!) The Western Maryland Ravelers set up right front and center, so we could have a pitstop/meet-and-greet/hangout for the day. Great idea, and one we'll repeat! Trillion stopped by to say...
... to the drugs your doctor prescribes for ADHD. As you already know, I'm working on a lovely pair of socks. Embossed Leaves made with TOFUtsies yarn by South West Trading Company. I know I can't stay focused on things and that I struggle sometimes with where I am in a pattern -- as in "what row am...
In addition to gearing up for the Ravelry ad (that is now running, btw! yay!), I'm also getting ready for a SALE that will be running from April 17-20. It is the ESST - Etsy Supplies Street Team sale! The ESST shop sales may include percentage off deals, free shipping, free goodies, or everyday...
So, tomorrow I will have a featured yarn ad on Ravelry! It will be promoting my "Plum . . . Divine" FunctionArt yarns! I have one ad that I will be using for sure, and another that I might be rotating in. For those who aren't on Ravelry, here are the ads, designed by Scott Bertz of WebWorkLife. Plum...
Today Cassidy and I went strawberry picking in Plant Cuty with Darrin and his mom. Cassidy had SO much fun. She actually didn't want to leave, but it really wast't such a bad day out considering we were in the middle of a field. But there was a nice breeze. It was so amusing. Made feel like I was...
In the past four or five days, the members of Ravelry have donated - in $10 increments - over $30,000. This brings Ravelry into the black, and pays for the sorely needed new servers. I'm speechless. If you love yarn and aren't on Ravelry yet, you should be.
I have PMS. i say this only because it's actually one thing that isn't causing any drama in the world right now, lol... there's drama in the knitting world (which bums me out if only because i've had a few patterns bookmarked at magknits for ages - and of course, Ravelry's forums are all abuzz)....
Yes, almost there! I've been chatting with the creators of The Indiego, a new free ad exchange service for artisans, about how to make this service work for those of us suffering under the restraints of vox.com. They've been kind enough (kind enough? that's an understatement) to fiddle with it so...
The April blizzard is here...40 mph winds, 4 feet of snow and counting! Today is the perfect day to stay in my pj's, drink hot chocolate, and knit, knit, knit!!! So far I have finished a hat for my sister's b-day - all except the button which I still need to buy and that is impossible today because...
I bought this gorgeous Organic Cotton yarn made by Bernat over the summer and have been saving it for just the right dishcloth project -- for ME. Wow, a hand-knitted-by-me dishcloth, just for ME! Imagine the absurdity. ;-) I've recently discovered groups on Ravelry and frankly, am alarmed at the...
