Playing the Waiting Game.

     I'm getting really excited about Tournament Four of Nerd Wars. I signed up with Team SGC as a first choice and Team Space Alliance as my second. I would be happy with either. The people on the new space team look really fun.

     There are a bunch of projects I want to get working on, but I want to save them in case they'll fit into a NW challenge. So last night, instead of working on that cursed mitten, I busted out a hat. I want to get my stock back up so I can go on a selling spree at work.

     I get lots of good feedback on the items with Fun Fur in them. Why people go for fuzzy things is beyond me. When I first started out I had a Fun Fur faze and apparently people like it. So last night, I dug though my stash and found almost all my Fun Fur. I'm not looking forward to this but if fuzz is what they want then fuzz is what I'll be selling.

Knit Crochet Blog Week Day One

Day One (Monday 11th May): If You Were Yarn. If you were a type or brand of yarn, which would you be? Are you a classic pure wool? Is there extra tension but a bit of bounce in you because of your high twist? Would you be more like a high-maintenance, strictly hand-wash fluffy angora or a ‘bring it on’ acrylic, bravely heading into the world of possible baby-sick laundering disasters knowing that you will always come out bright and unharmed? If I had been asked this question back in January of 2014 I think my answer would be very different from the one I'm about to give today. Since that time I have started my second new job and have moved my entire household to a smaller city. Granted the move was what I wanted, but there has been a transition period for me after leaving everything I'd known and become accustomed to behind after 12 years. I've made new friends twice, gotten used to different policie...

Year of Projects: Week 45

No post last week as we were all down with a nasty stomach bug. I finally started feeling better on Friday. I didn't get very much done because of it. I didn't even get out of bed last Sunday. I was able to finish the Sunset Hat . I think it turned out nicely. I was worried the Glitter and the Sunset colorways would be too similar, which is why I put the English Rose in between them, but I think the combo works pretty well. I finished up one more dish cloth; another Star Fish type so I won't post another identical picture. I've made one more dishcloth since the Nerdopolis tournament ended on the 30th. We're in a break month now. I had hoped to get a few rows done on my Holden shawl, but that didn't happen. I'm going to try to get it done this month. There is a fiber festival in June, the CNY Fiber Fest, so I'm starting to plan for that. I went last year and it was very fun....

YOP: Week 30 Lewis County Fair 24

I wanted to do a quick update about the Fair. We kept it really low key this year. I entered 10 items into the fair and we only went one day to just look around. We refrained from rides and excessive amounts of fair food. So, onto my entries: I entered: a sewn tote bag, which I think I blogged about a few weeks ago. It got first place then went on to win Best in Show. Sewn Tote with Best in Show ribbon I also entered the beaded shawl I finished in June, that also won a blue ribbon and went on to receive Best in Show. Beaded Holden mixed among other Best in Show items Six of my other items also won blue ribbons: Liara's socks Mandy Cowl Killer Queen Cowl Clean Windmill Dishcloth set Sacket's Harbor Mittens and Drops of Spring Fingerless Mitts The second place ribbon I received for my Hum Beanie is also in this picture. Then I received third place for Sunset Hat. The first and second place entries for this class are in this picture ...
