Look what Brianne made for me!:
The colors are actually darker than in my photo (what is it with my camera?), but look at all that yarn! And a gorgeous bag and some Kid Silk Haze - now I can see why everyone calls it “Crack Silk Haze”! Thanks, Brianne!
That was the best part of […]
So I’m starting to have the problem that many knitters have (not me, usually since we don’t have the money to travel yet — but we will someday). In about 2 weeks I’m going to New York, then onto Maryland for 2 weeks. Here are my dilemmas:
1) which yarn stores to go to?
I’m […]
BR is complaining because he got a new game today and I took over his computer. I swear I’m working! Can I help it if I just discovered html colors, and wanted to see if I could change it here? Due to a typo, I got this gorgeous color, which in my poorly lit dining […]
I swear I didn’t buy any more yarn, but those balls are like rabbits, and they keep mulitplying!
Actually, my MIL just got back from Italy and they brought this back for me. I even got photos of the shop and the shop owner!
In other knitting news, we went to the Cliff House for […]
Remember way back when (what, a week? two weeks ago?) when I was all socked out? Well, I’ve gone from that to this:
That’s my Neon Lights socks (oh boy is this Regia yarn scratchy to knit with but it was so cheap at Little Knits, and the colors — they don’t call it “Crazy Colors” […]
All week I’ve been “working” on my last three assignments. The first one due tomorrow is to create a design document for an online game. Last night BR saw me on the computer and goes “Isn’t it lucky that your project is on yarn?” (Because I was busy entering some pictures …) I wish it […]
It’s done! Presenting my Preppy(tm) yarn:
I really hope my Dye-O-Rama pal likes it — I love this and would use it myself if I didn’t have someone to send it to!
I think the colors are reminiscent of those innocent times of the early ’80s, when men weren’t afraid to eat quiche and wear pink Izod […]
It came!!! Here is my Sweet Georgia yarn in “Angel”. The red is more of a rust than in my picture, but it is still gorgeous!
I also had some issues with Zooba in the past month that ended in 6 messages back and forth with their customer service. We got it straightend out and […]
What else would you be doing on a rainy Friday afternoon in Northern California?
This may be the only photo I upload since I’m hoping to make my Dye-o-Rama pal’s yarn today and don’t want to spoil the surprise! I’m still not sure what colors I want to use for her. Oh, if only my in-laws […]
“Are you making a cake?” So I made it to Michael’s today and picked up some Wilton’s paste icing dyes (I hope!) for yarn dyeing. I still have my acid dyes on order but it sounds like the order won’t even be placed for a week and I’m already stressed out about getting my Dye-o-Rama […]
