The Yarntini yarn I got from pureknits in Cosmopolitan (pink, red and green) is my absolute favoritest sock yarn ever. It tops all my other pink and green yarn. I’ll update this with pictures when I get home from work. it is sooo cute. That pass the dutchie song is making me wish it was summery outside and that I could be on a beach tanning. Now it’s that sugarhill gang song. Interesting cd.
The other week there was an incredibly hot mailman here. What happened to him??

He tried to type a post for everyone…

But he got a little distracted.

On the Noro shrug front, I have 3 balls down 7 to go.

I’m making that elusive shrug in Noro volume 18. I got a bag of Kureyon #138 yesterday. It’s really pretty and quick to knit so far. Reading ahead there’s something involving a number of stitches in the 300s I’m not anticipating.

One ball in and 9 more to go.

I found some COTTON Kureyon too! I’ve heard of this stuff but never thought I’d find any. Such pretty colors too. (fuzzy picture…)

Here’s the Bartlett 3ply I got, pretty coraly pinkish red. Maybe a short cardi wrappy thing? Some very me Yarntini Cosmopolitan. I like this yarn! And the apricot Malabrigo for a shrug type thing.

Then from a the day before yesterday I got a giant hank of Ellen’s 1/2 Pint farm Silk-Merino in the color Southwestern Desert. 1,375 yards and 17.5oz. It’ll make a nice and drapey, girly looking sweater of some kind.

And hey, you finally fucking noticed.

I just came home. Currently home alone. As I was pulling in I see something white and small just sitting there in the middle of the driveway. A ball of white calmer was standing on it’s side. It was the freakiest thing.Cry for Help hd Tribute psp

I know I’m fascinating and all but that doesn’t warrant 43 returning visits to my site. However if you’re a hot guy it’s okay (which creepy person is NOT) (like those discussed on the way to md and the way back, like the yarn guy)

Here’s how it goes,
me… 69 visits
creepy person…43
bestest friend ever…1

I’m not saying it’s bad to look at my site a lot, I know I’m just sooo interesting, but this is getting disturbing.

things i bought in detail,

(not in pictures, but to follow soon, i got 3 hanks of hunt valley cashmere to make a big shawl/scarf lace thing that is so amazing looking, i started it today. i loooove it.)

8oz of BFL from the spinning flock farm, and some koigu

a pound (!!!!!) of cashmere, merino/tussah blend, and some hot pink and grey wool from little barn (the cashmere stuff is soft, but it was so cheap maybe i’ll find out why when i spin it)

then from the fold, merino and merino/tencel roving. i love it.

from the drafting zone i got two 8oz bags of fun dyed wool roving and a 4oz thing of cassis merino that i’ve been wanting to try for a while.

and things not from mdsw, limeyellow habu cashmere and medium indigo nature’s palette, from pureknits

I can’t believe how great it was. and the things I bought! Cashmere, tons of rovings, some yarn, cashmeeeeere!

and today made me realize I love New Jersey. NORTHERN jersey and not more north than Morris county. Things that change when you leave: baseball caps disappear, electric blue cars disappear, hair gets fluffier, people grab sheep asses, men only look cute from behind because when they turn around it’s like something off Jerry Springer.

more to come tomorrow.

My wheel is here. I can’t assemble it till later but I am SO pissed off at the idiots behind Fricke. They had it sent to the wrong address. It didn’t actually get to the wrong address thanks to weird UPS man, but what if it did. My address was correct on the invoice inside, but someone needs to check on the idiots doing the labeling. I think I’ll complain to them tomorrow. It wasn’t even like the wrong address number could’ve been a typo, it was a completely different number. Right now, I’m just glad it’s here.Last Night move

I should post, shouldn’t I. I got lots of new yarns. I have a Calmer cardi and cotton cashmere cardi in my car, and numerous socks. Here’s new some new yarn and Spring Fling from Knitty in brown Wool Cotton.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed film

Artyarns merino, Claudia Handpainted sock yarn in Pink Cloud, Fable baby alpaca…love it!, and 1 of 2 pink and grey Silk Garden lite.

My spinning wheel has yet to arrive. They said the latest it would ship from the factory would be this past Thursday, and it’s coming UPS, usually it’s quick. Have I mentioned I hate the UPS man…creepy and almost hit me driving like an idiot.

I did get the fiber I ordered with the wheel. From ebay seller/store Winderwood Farm

on the left is merino/mohair and the right is merino/viscose.
WHERE IS MY WHEEL?

I’m still not totally sure how to use the camera. I’ll figure it out.
