Busy Weekend

Started my WineLovers colorway collection - have 4 colors so far - and they commissioned a knit project which I designed and knit and dyed the first prototype today .

Need to get some holiday knitting started.

And I have swap packaged that need finishing assembly and mailed

Website?

I started a Website for my hand-dyed and kits and things!

Here it is - go visit

Summer is officially here

I'm gonna start by plugging one of my favorite winter drinks - Chai from Yogic Chai. They are getting ready to go on Vacation in Venezuela.

I'm getting ready to go on vacation in Virginia.

But why would you want chai in the summer? Have you had it on ice? on CRUSHED ice?

brew it a little on the strong side, crush ice into your favorite glass, pour some almond or coconut milk over the ice, pour on some chai and you're refreshed and ready to knit that Christmas present you thought you needed to start!!!

I've finished my summer clapotis. My beautiful girl Bleu is helping model it here



I've started felting my entrelac clutch

and I need to steal some time for my Stolen Moments Shawl and my Dragonfly Socks

My sock yarn blanket is coming along nicely though I haven't blogged about it recently.

I've also been dyeing yarn to sell for the sock yarn blanket (or for other things if you want to buy a whole 100 grams at a time instead of 5 or 10 or for other blankets than the one I'm making)

WWKIP Day

United States, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
Hosted by: Third Street Ravelers
Location: Rittenhouse Square
Time: 11a - ?
Date: June 14, 2009

How to get there:
As with previous KIP events, we'll be hanging out on the lawn in the south-east quadrant of the park. Look for the people with yarn and needles on blankets looking content in each others company under the canopy of green tranquility.

Please bring:
Bring a blanket or towel or chair to sit on. Bring your WIP! :D Feel free to bring snacks for yourself or for sharing, if you would like, and remember water! Last year was very warm, and hydration while knitting is important. Also, the nearest bathrooms are at Barnes & Noble. Otherwise, just bring yourself and plan to have fun.

The backup plan is:
We have no backup plan. We like to live dangerously.

This KIP is not knitting exclusive
There are no bathrooms nearby.

Socks/Sock Blanket?

I can't stop knitting on my sock blanket.

It's kinda driving me crazy because I want to work on something that I can finish. Like my socks! I'm on the cuff silly person - just go at them.

Or my bag... Or perhaps I should take Hey Teach to the Frog Pond

and start something quick for my mom

or for my best friend who is getting married this fall

or those gloves for my co-worker

or something fun and lace for me

or more socks

damn!

Loopy Ewe

I want everything this place carries - someone be my sugar momma?

I'm especially lusting after the Vampire Kiss Sock Yarn!

Must finish my other socks - then maybe I will reward myself with more yarn!
