Charity Knitting!

These are 6 squares that my Aunt and I made for Lone Knitters Aghan Collection. Four of them my Aunt crocheted and the other two I knitted. I'm sending them out tomarrow.

Local Yarn Shop Closing!

I got a postcard in the mail last week. Knitters Laine in Shelburne is closing : (
All inventory at least 20% off and some items even further discounted. It's too bad, its a cute little shop and owner is so friendly. If anyone reading this is close by go check it out. She has ALOT of inventory... I'll be going back myself with a more prepared list.
It's almost next door to the Shelburne Country Store.

I can't believe she's closing!

Transformation

This............

has become this.............

oh yeah.. and Happy Blogaversary to me this month! Yeah Berkley !!

Sock and Berkley still life

One project done! Socks for my nephew.

I'm all done Monkeying Around!

I've been slacking on posting lately. It's certainly not for a lack of projects to post on either!

First up, finished Monkey Sock! Yeah!!

Monkey Stats: Pattern from Knitty
I used one less repeat on the leg, but other than that I pretty much followed the pattern. I used size 2 circ's and Spunky Electic in Mahagany from the Yarn Aboard Swap mate Jennifer. I loved working with this yarn. Its a superwash wool and it really softened up after a wash and dry. The pattern was really entertaining. Easy to remember and it was just enough to keep me interested without being boring or complicated. I think there will be more Monkeying around in my future!

Next up is the amazing box of goodies I received from my Secret Pal. Let me just say that Secret Pal knows how to pack a box!

She sent me some fingering weight wool from Knit Picks and a book on Scandanavian Mittens/Gloves. Totally awesome for when I learn colorwork!!! I love all the colors too. I got some Wildfoote sock yarn which I have been wanting to try in a sweet teal/blue color! She also made the cotton crochet bag for me... I think the bag will make a cute "sock in progress" bag! Also theres a spool of cute ribbon and there was some sweets, but they didn't make it to the photo shoot. Now last but sooo not least.... she sent me a drop spindle and some Roving (which I've been itching to learn!) !! SP10 also sent some instructions and I have been playing with it a bit but I don't really have much to show so far. Anyway it was an awesome package!! Thanks SP10!
