The Loopy Ewe had a Wollmeise update the other day and I might’ve gotten to the website soon enough to have a hank of it fall into my basket. Oh my goodness this stuff is lovely. My intention was to use it to make Bigger on the Inside, but a) there is more purple in [...]

Another Yarn Tasting!

Today was another yarn tasting at the LYS. What fun! The first 15 or 20 people who signed up got a little package of mini skeins: Which I am going to sit down and knit into swatches right this very minute. ALSO! I arrived home to a message from the shop on my voicemail telling [...]
My First Yarn Tasting
Posted in yarn, tagged postaday2011 on February 6, 2011 | 5 Comments »
So my LYS had a nifty yarn tasting today, which featured yarns from Bijou Basin Ranch. I have seen them at Rhinebeck, but their booth is either too full of people for me to get into, or they don’t have any yarn left for me to fondle (or to sell me), which is why the [...]
Socks!

[ravelry] Finished up yesterday while at a play date w/ the boys and cast off last night while playing Borderlands with the hubs. (My computer takes a long time (sometimes) to load the different maps.) Did I tell you I love this yarn? Soft and sproingy and look how much of it I had left [...]
Catching you up

Sometimes you go so long without making a blog post that re-entry is awkward and difficult without an “I’m sorry I haven’t blogged” sort of statement. Generally I try to avoid those because, hey, blogging is a hobby and sometimes I have time for it, and sometimes I don’t. Suffice it to say that not [...]
Now I Remember
Posted in grumble, Knitting, yarn on May 14, 2010 | 3 Comments »
This yarn was on a time out. ::grumble:: Everything was just peachy until I got up to 38 stitches for the instep and the pooling turned around stabbed me in the back, just like it did the first time I tried this pattern with this yarn. Clearly this yarn wants to be something else. Plain [...]
Webs loot!

ZOMG, Webs. I <3 Webs. Total for yesterday’s trip: just under $100 bucks. Which, funnily enough, is about the same as our behavioral health copay.
ZOMG! WEBS!!

This morning I schlepped the kids (along with my friend Adrienne) up to Webs, America’s Yarn store to procure some therapy yarn. We just got back. I’m exhausted, but happy, and have slightly less money than I started with. Sadly, I used up the rest of today’s sunlight during the ride home. Sorry about that. [...]
Free yarn
Posted in Knitting, stash, yarn on February 9, 2010 | 8 Comments »
One of the moms from our home school group showed up yesterday with an imperial asston of yarn. Evidently a neighbor of hers is a recovering hoarder and was destashing a LOT of knitting stuff. The vast majority of it was grouped into projects, with all of the yarn, the buttons, and the pattern packaged [...]
