Sock Yarn Hoard


This is one of 4 closets filled with yarn. Plus, I have 10 buckets of yarn in storage. If it is in the closets then the yarn is on the active list.

Working on a cashmere shawl for Mystical Creation Yarns fall line. Plus, more mens socks. Joined Deb of Fearless Fibers Sock Club. But, turned down a wonderful KAL with AstridsDutchObsessions. You can find information about Astrids KAL here

Meanwhile, I am still exploring the World of Warcraft. If you are interested in knowing which server and guild I am participating on please email me.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Finished Book 7

Well, this week was very busy. Joined a Sock Club by Fearless Fibers. Ordered some more yarn from Astrid's Dutch Obsessions.

Celebrated my Birthday with lots cards and phonecalls. Got, beautiful flowers from my daughter, and lovely shirt from my husband, and the 1885 nickel I needed for my collection.

BUT, the wonders of wonders was receiving my book 7 Harry Potter exactly when I expected it. Saturday A.M. at the mail box.

So, I came home and began to read.

The books was everything I antcipated it would be, every question answered. True fight between good and evil. And a delightful conclusion.

BEST Of BOOKS.

Designing Shrugs

Started two different shrugs in the small (size 34) size so that I could finish them a little sooner than designing the original in size 1x. But, this morning I have to go the frog pond for three inches... very unhappy with the look.

This last week has been very busy. Interviewed for another client (bookkeeping) which is a couple of hours a month. Finished another bolero jacket, started another bolero jacket. Corrected the second christmas sock design now I just need to re-knit the socks. Jesse's socks he wants the ribbing to be 12" long now, so back to size 1 knitting needles for another pair of Jesse socks, maybe this time will be a different house design. Finished silk/wool socks (Regia yarn) size 8 for another friend.

Received in the mail this week Dangles yarn, 10 skeins of royal blue alpaca yarn, and some incredible new colors from MCY. No, I can't show you pictures of the yarn as I have to design, knit, and submit it first. I ordered a few other skeins of yarn that well, I won't re-order from them.

Place a huge order for KPPPM multis from Kyarns and Patternworks. Nothing like overwhelming list of projects yet to do.

Starting a New Year

Well, 2007 is certainly starting out very different than last year. Quiet New Year's Eve (hard to wake the neighbors when we are in bd at 8:30) and a quiet New Year's Day. First thing on tuesday that happened was a sock order, President Ford's Funeral, and phone calls regarding accounting. All the accounting calls were past urgent.... so, raced (30 miles one way) into town to help out people. Got, a new accounting client so I get to do accounting work 4 times a month not including my own books.

Received a large order of sock yarns from Astrid at AstridsDutchObsessions.com I got the Opal Feelings collection, and some Trekking yarn for some socks that people asked for in December. So, knit knit knit.

The Shop addition exterior is completed, the interior walls are now completed, the doors are on the shop, and now the lighting is being arranged. Husband is slowing down a little in the frantic race against cold weather.

We have heard from all our family and everyone is doing well which is a miracle much appreciated.

Have a great weekend.
