So today I made this totally lush yarn. By accident. Grr…. I guess that accident isn’t totally correct. This yarn was made with the remainder of the leftover fibers that I had from Janel Laidman’s spinning class at Knit Nation. There is (I think) some alpaca and silk, Merino and silk, BLF and silk, and …
Last day here. Tomorrow I will be getting up ass-early to haul my sorry carcass out to Heathrow airport (at least it isn’t Gatwick which is even further) to get onto an airplane to go to Dusseldorf. I’m flying Lufthansa all the way there and United on the way home. I am so excited that …
So, in between trying to get everything as ready as I can for Tech Support while I am gone and trying not to spaz out from excitement I have been knitting on the never-ending stole. The hubby was originally kinda sad that he wasn’t going to get to see the end of …
I finished knitting the Feza scarf and immediately decided to block it a bit so that it didn’t look quite so much like a red, green and orange rope around my neck. Here it is in it’s Soak bath. Here it is about halfway blocked. Here it is all pinned up. I didn’t go totally …
So, I haven’t shown y’all a lot of what I’ve been doing of late and I think that it’s about time that I rectified that. First off, I finished the cabled embrace scarf. It turned out nicely but I was just sooooo glad for it to be done already! It wasn’t difficult once you …
Yesterday, the Hubby and I went to the Linslade Canal Festival. It was a lot of fun seeing all the different organizations that had stalls set up to educate the public as well as sell everything from alpaca blankets (no I didn’t get any even though it was a really good price) to food to …
Yes, I finally got the hubby to release the photos from the cameraphone onto the laptop! It is a win-win day for all of us. Please remember that I didn’t have a “real” camera with me so there aren’t as many photos as I would have normally taken. Also, it was pouring down rain a …
Packing continues here in lovely Apopka. The yarn room continues to be filled with more boxes and containers than were even in there previously. It is interesting to see the house seem to gradually empty into a couple of rooms which are completely impassible. It will be an experience for me once everything is once …
So, I thought that I would recap my goals and see how well I did with them…. 1.) Will not spend more money than have. Did ok on this one. I worked pretty much as a cash only thing so I couldn’t spend more than I had. 2.) Will not get drunk and diss and/or start …
I’m sitting here in the Newark airport writing this. It is 9 o’clock Monday morning, always a sober slap of reality, more so today more than usual. I am not used to rush hour traffic going into New York City. Hell, I’m not used to rush hour traffic at all! So getting here was more …
