Christmas is coming....

I am starting to get distracted with thoughts of knitting some gifts and putting my projects on hold. Oh how I wish I could get paid for staying home....

So, I saw this in the latest issue of The Knitter (http://theknitter.themakingspot.com)

The pattern is Greenwich Village (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/greenwich-village)

My DD should love them. She is the original mismatched!  Has never wore the same two socks since 10 years of age. 

I am knitting them in the suggested yarns and even using the color lollipop. 


East knit so far.  Very cool how the spiral stripe is jogless by nature.

It's official - I am a Plucky

I recently decided to subscribe to the Plucky subscription program.  I picked Primo Fingering.

It was a few weeks ago and I got a surprise in the mail yesterday!!!!! 
My first shipment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How exciting, what color will it be?

I ripped back the quick strip and to my delight....

SNAP OUT OF IT!  (inspired by Moonstruck)

It's a lovely shade of dark dark dark grey (almost black).  Sarah must have been reading my mind! I was hoping for black.

Now, this oh so lovely yarn deserves a great project.  I searched Ravely patterns for a few hours.

I think I will do this....here.  It is Window to my Soul by Joji Locatelli

Here is a snap of my skeins.


I am totally so happy
Yay Yarn!!!!!!
Yippee
