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.

Year of Projects: Week 11

I'm actually updating on a Sunday for once! I don't have too much to update, so it'll be short and sweet. I had mentioned that I washed and blocked the Drops of Spring Mitts. I got them off the blockers and took a couple decent pictures outside in good light. So here they are all finished. I used the smallest size of the three blockers. The middle size stretched the fabric too much. Blocking really evened these out and even though I didn't toss these in the dryer to spring the super-wash Mal Rios back into shape it sproinged back all on its own. I need to weigh these yet so I can figure out approximate yardage used, but my guess is its not really much of either of the three colors. I hope to do at least one more pair of these. I have so many little mini left-over skeins, its a great pattern to get those used up. I made homemade pizza on Wednesday. I use this recipe in my bread machine for the dough. It calls for a teaspoon of a

Year of Projects: Week 13

I've started my "new" job/contract. I've worked for this company before, just not at this site. I brought a few projects with me, but I quickly ran out of yarn. I've been working on a dishtowel. I'm combining two patterns to make it. I'm using the premise of Stay Put Kitchen Towel with the stitch pattern of Lizard Ridge Dishcloth . I, of course, don't have a picture yet of the towel. I took my book of postcards and colored pencils with me. I've colored in two of the postcards in between knitting. When I got home at the end of the week, I had two packages waiting for me. I received an angel package for one of the swaps I did a few months ago. The cowl and headband are made from handspun yarn. They are very soft and pretty. My angel got me a lanyard set perfect for fall. The black kitty looks alot like Jangles and the flowers are very fall colored. There's a pair of snippy style scissors. I love this style of

Year of Projects: Week 33

I started a pair of socks for myself. I'm not good about checking gauge for anything. So very quickly I realized the sock was looking very small. I decided to keep going and make them for Liara instead. I had her try it on after I turned the heel and it fit her perfectly.
