Yarn Splurge
Wednesday, November 4, 2009
It's been a long time since I snatched up a skein of yarn on impulse... Today, I couldn't help myself, I bought this.



And I will make my first pair of socks with this beautiful yarn!

Swap Dilemma
Friday, October 30, 2009
When it comes to swaps, I like to stick to a theme rather than just throwing random finds in a box. It makes it a bit harder, but it's well worth it in the end. I also don't like to buy a lot of things. I want to use it as an opportunity to create something new.

This swap, is seriously causing me grief though. I don't know if I'm just uninspired, but I can't think of a single thing that correlates with her favorite play (Twelfth Night). Maybe it's because it's a comedy and I personally enjoy the tragedies (Ex: Titus, My favorite play ever).

I did get this a while back. It was my one "general buy" that I allow myself for these things because it was too pretty and everyone needs a calendar. -=giggle=-

Any thoughts on crafty ideas related to the 12th Night? My artistic friends out there, please loan me your inspiration because I'm stumped.

Lace Knitting
Saturday, October 17, 2009
How in the world do people knit those intricate lace pattern shawls?! I'm doing an easy pattern and I'm already bored out of my mind.

Something I didn't take into consideration is that the larger the shawl gets the less it's going to stripe. Hopefully it doesn't look like crap, but I'm pushing on and deciding from there.

Next items to be on the needles:

1. Hat
2. Shrug

Progress pictures to be posted soon!
