Mason Dixon Maniac

I think that I am obesessed with the Mason Dixon Knitting book. I have only made 2 ballband dishcloths but I have at least three other projects I would like to knit. DBF thinks I am crazy. Oh yeah, I got a bookcase yesterday. I put it together myself. Everyone knows that with ready to assemble fruniture you should probably use wood adhesive so it will be more stable. Here is my bookcase.

Isn't it beautiful. I was so tired of all of my books being all over the place. I think it was money well spent. I just love Target.

Yeah Baby!!

My camera's back!! DBF is great!! I am so happy!! Why am I using so many exclamation points!! I don't know!! And I have the day off tomorrow!! Squee!!! OK enough of that. I got my camera fixed and I purchased a few (8) balls of Sugar and Cream cotton yarn to make dishcloths for my mom and sister. I have a couple of progress shots of the first one. It's the BallBand dishcloth from Mason Dixon Knitting. Photos soon.

No Camera * sob *

My camera's not working right now. Can't post pictures, DBF droped the camera off yesterday so hopefully I will have it by the weekend. Let's hope.

No Photos Today

That's right, no photos, I haven't had a chance to download my photos yet. I haven't been posting like I should maybe because no one reads my blog. But I still enjoy posting and having a place to express myself. Well, last week DBF came home with a small wooden box that he got from one of the vendors that he works with. I was so surprised because I only mentioned to him once that I with I had something to put my knitting in. I am so unorganized because all of the yarn I have sits in a bag behind the closet door. So when DBF came in with the box I was so excited. I'll paint it and everything will be great! And my small stash will have a home. . Oh yea and about stash, I was uploading my yahoo photos to flickr and when I did a search for "yarn stash" I was floored. Some people have so much yarn!! I can only wish that I had that much yarn or that much money to buy yarn. How long does it take to get a stash that big? I looked over at my little box o' yarn with a frown. Where do they get so much yarn. I guess I am still kinda new to this. I am totally obsessed with knitting and fiber but I just don't have the room. Oh well I just be happy with my little box. I'll have pictures posted soon.

Lazy Sundays

Saturday was a good day. I went downtown to get my glasses repaired. and DBF also picked up a pair of senakers, and we walked around the park and did a little sight seeing. We went to Chipotle for burritos and took the bus home.

Our walk around the park was very nice. A new sculpture was done by a local artist. We haven't had a chance to see it until today. The legs are over 10 ft tall. I had a picture of me next to one of the legs, but the picture didn't come out so well.

I am also working on a new heel technigue for a pair of socks. The peasant heel. I am at the toe decreases and will start the heel soon. The different color yarn is scrap yarn the work as a place holder for the heel.

I used this tutorial for the peasant heel.

I * Heart * Etsy

Oh Etsy, where have you been all of my life? What is a girl to do? Can't resist......Too much to choose from.......Well I gave in and bought this..

Isn't it just too cute? I love it. It's from Piddleloop. It is small enough to carry my sock knitting and supplies. I think I am in love...... *smile *

OTN: A pair of plain vanilla socks in Supersocke Online and Garter Stitch socks from Sensational Knitted socks in Lorna's Laces Fresh stripe.

The Best DBF Ever!!!

I have the best DBF ever!!! I got some fun new knitting related gifts from my DBF.

I received a super cute knitting bag from TheFunkyBaglady from Etsy. Some Almond Cookie Body Butter for my hands to keep them from being so dry when knitting. He also bought me a nostepinne (a Scandanavian ball winder). You are supposed to be able to wind a flat topped stackable balls of yarn. The first couple of tries I ended up with were kinda egg shaped, I am going to keep trying.
