Want to know where you are in the Ravelry queue?

(Thanks to Donna for the heads up!)

Not that I am very fussed at present - I am so busy I can't keep up!

Here's some recent finds. Three jumpers from an op shop, two are wool blends with silk, angora, all sorts of stuff and one is cashmere! Fine fine pinky cashmere. They are destined to become yarn before I knit them up into something else.


I've already shredded the jumper on the left - the sorta apricotty one. I figure I can dye it a different colour (plum I reckon should go nicely over the current colour).

I also joined Mystery Stole 3, along with half the knitting blogsphere.

I only got my yarn on Friday night, so I'm a bit behind. I'm now halfway through clue two, after not working on it since Sunday. I'm using blue beads along the edge and will use a mix of beads in the centre areas.

Hmm, what else? Oh yeah, I made me a daggy hat out of some yarn I bought at My Sister Knits. The yarn is great - it even smells of the farmyard still. The hat is very daggy :-)


(No big pics when you click on them - most of them are not exciting enough for big pics!)

Anyone going to Fairplay for their start up fibre festival this weekend? Or anyone know someone who is going? I am trying to organise a car cos it will be a VERY long bike ride! LOL

anon!

    If you're busy, you definitely don't want to get on Ravelry. It's a time sink. A huge time sink!

    I love the hat! That's such a great picture. I'm a little ahead of you in the Ravelry queue, but not much.

    Love the hat! I'm a bit behind you in the Ravelry queue. If you don't already have it a Flickr account is a good idea in preparation, so you can upload stash and FO pics etc.

Your monthly blog post

LOL G'day all! Apparently I can no longer blog more than once a month. Mea slacka, I admit. So what's been happening here? I've done a lot of knitting recently.  Ahem I may have bought a fair whack of yarn too.  So much for not spending money. I've been sick as a dog this week.  Gah.  I haven't been really ill with a virus for years - last time I was this sick was six years ago.  Man that was a fun month, DH having lost his job whilst we were getting new visas in Oz for said job, having to pack up and move everything we wanted to keep from the States, sell off the car, get rid of stuff.... all with me coughing my lungs up.  And the lymph node that came up that I thought was from a chest infection actually being breast cancer...  oh joy oh bliss. I even went to urgent care (the walk in, no appointment needed doc in a box that you see when your GP is booked out) cos I felt so crappy.   He confirmed it was probably viral and threw ...

Seattle Six

Image
G'day all! 12 is a big number around here, being all to do with Seattle Seahawks and the 12th man - did you know that American football has 11 players active on the ground at any one time and the twelfth man is the spectators watching the game?  I didn't.  I know about the 12th man in cricket but not this thing that has been adopted here regarding what I usually call gridiron. But I don't want to talk about American football and I don't want to talk about 12, I want to talk about six. Yes, we have now been in Seattle for six years (and a number of days). Six years. Where has the time gone? This is our seventh winter - how have we managed?  Some people love gloom but we are solar powered.  And Seattle tends to be rather gloomy in winter.  I manage by making stuff like crazy, I wear bright colours, and I hang out online on Ravelry.  Without my rav mates, I'd be bored out of my brain.  I'd get a job but I don't have a work permit and that me...

A year and a day

Image
G'day all! This time last year, we were bemused and confused. Our grand trip across Canada had ended and we had just flown in to SJ airport. We have been in California for a year and a day (it's a leap year). 366 days in California. How has it been? All over the shop like a madwoman's you-know-what! You can read more about it on my other blog. I have now lived in three different places in my life. By that I mean I've had an address for mail and stuff, a place where I live rather than stay for a little while. Those places are Melbourne (Oz), Fort Collins (Colo) and Campbell (Calif). In their own ways, each has been special. Fort Collins will be a place I'll always remember, and possibly the memories will be better because we didn't spend a winter there ;-) In honour of this great occasion, I announce a contest! In the comments, tell me two places you have lived (one place if you have always lived there!) and a place where you would love to live (and why yo...
