Where I talk about knitting, sewing, my dog, my son, baking and the occasional exploding ovary.

Wed update
We've got the winter crud here. So not much exciting is happening. A lot of laying on the couch and staring at the TV. While the cold medicine was working yesterday I knit some. And! After 7 yrs of marriage, my husband has a PAIR of hand knit socks. Finally! :)
I knit them in Hazel Knits yarn in the Sassafras colorway. First time using this yarn, and I LOVE it! Very nice stitch definition, and super nice colors. Love. I shall be buying more. :)
This is the best picture I have on them as of yet. It is one of me modeling them. What is super exciting is that I was able to get a size 13 pair of socks out of 1 skein of yarn! There is 16 grams of sock yarn left. whew!
So! That's a skein out!

I also joined a Mini skein swap. I'm cutting up a skin of my bugga into 22 mini skeins. In return I'll get 22 different bugga colors back. I've never done of of these before, so I'm kind of excited to see what I get back. I'm thinking I want to make one of those cute ripple blankets, so we'll see. :)
