6:04 pm - Another Scarf!
|
 I'm really pleased with this scarf, it does still need the fringe added and blocking...already started another one in another color.
finished the knitting part of the Tabard vest, but I need to add the buttons and block it...pictures soon.

I ordered the above two yarns from ebay...300 grams of each cost me mere pennies, can't wait for it to arrive.
I'm almost done with both the vest and the scarf..will post pictures when both are done.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving...after which I shall have NO time for a personal life, knitting, eating, sleeping...LOL

6:32 pm - I found more of that yarn!
|
See my previous post and photo. I found this yarn on Ebay and got 4 more skeins. I'm going to make a scarf and felted hat for myself!!!! YAY!
On my way home from work today I stopped at Kohl's....every year I get a $10.00 gift card in the mail from them, that can be used on ANYTHING. So today I found this fantastic pillar candle with a lovely candle ring..it's HUGE..it was $19.99 and was marked down 50% so I used my card and it was free! It's a gift for a family member. A lovely centerpiece!

4:51 am - OH this is fun!
|
 I just started this diagonal or multi directional scarf. What fun! I'm using 127 Print yarn from Filatura Di Crossa. Sadly this yarn has been discontinued...I'd love to find more of it!

6:07 pm - OH NO! There's a Mouse in my Yarn!
|
Ha Ha, fooled ya! It's just my new USB Hub on my "yarn" mousepad!
On a more serious note, I found a better way to do multiple row bind off's so you don't get that "jagged" edge on armholes, necks, shoulders!
Stopped on the way home from work picked up stuff to make a pizza tomorrow and some badly needed new PJ's. Got home and stuffed some old PJ's in my trash can!
I'm donating a pair of Leg Warmers to our United Way auction at work. The gal in charge of the auction is just thrilled. I ended up with an extra pair so it's really not a big deal. Shhhhhhhhh don't tell her that!

3:11 pm - New Project, new head!
|
 While my tunic is blocking, I've started a new project. Not much to look at yet.
 The latest edition to my "glass head" collection arrived a little while ago. This one is an antique Milk Glass! Now I have Blue, Green, Black and White. I'd love to find a red one!

7:34 pm - I'm so excited!
|
I'm excited for many reasons too! I collect glass heads to display my hats on. Recently I finally got my hands on a black one...but now I've managed to snag an Antique Milk Glass one! The area of the head where the "hair" should be is Hobnail textured. I'm really looking forward to it arriving! It was shipped Monday.
Saturday a group of us are going to the Scott's Bluff first annual fiber festival. We are all looking forward to this. Liz found out that Brown Sheep yarn (just down the road) will be open and they will be giving tours if you sign up at the fiber festival! Woo Hoo, we've both wanted to tour the mill! We also have very explicit directions for an nearby Ice Cream place...a creamery actually! Soooo, I'm going to take my cooler (can buy ice on the road) if we find the stuff is "sinful".
I'm off on both Monday and Tuesday (oh oh a 4 day weekend), so Liz and I hope to get together and get our jar soup mixes and cookie mixes made up! Other than a few "odds n' ends"...I will be done with Christmas Gifts when these jars are done!
Got three WIP's going, a tunic for me, a sweater for Sofia and a pair of leg warmers for my grand niece!
current mood:  excited
current music: NCIS in the backround
