Lulu has been getting a serious workout. I’ve been working on hand dyed BFL, and it’s finally done and plied. I’m quite proud of this particular handspun. It’s a balanced yarn! Yay!

4 oz BFL, approximately 340 yards and approximately 21 WPI.
Also started is a batt that I got from my wonderful [...]

When we went to the NJ Sheep and Wool Festival, I bought something. I didn’t post about it, because I didn’t come home with this purchase. But it came in the mail today, and I’m pretty psyched about it.
At one of the booths at the festival was a lady named Laun Dunn and [...]

Lesson learned yesterday: After 2 weeks of not working on the dragon shawl, I picked it up again yesterday. Did 2 rows on the train and at the end of the second row, realized I was missing stitches. Went to the Point after work, and ripped out the 2 rows, plus another 3 [...]

This coming week starts my favorite time of the year….the start of the fall tv season. I admit, I am a tv junkie. I watch way too much of it, and most of it is bad tv. And since we got a dvr, we watch a lot more BAD tv. But [...]

Also in the mail the other day, was my new Knit Picks needles. I already [...]

Late Friday evening, a last minute outing was planned to trek to NJ to the NJ Sheep & Wool festival. The ride wasn’t as long as I thought it’d be, but still long enough. There were a lot more animals than vendors, but still fun to poke around a festival other than Rhinebeck [...]

Remember those paint by numbers kits you used to have as a kid? I loved those things. I’m by no means an artist, and having the paint by numbers kits made me feel like I could paint.
The dragone shawl charts are similar to painting by numbers. There are about 18 different stitches, [...]

I was doing so well. My WIP list on Ravelry was down to one. One lonely project. So I started another. And another. And another. Now I’m back up to 4. Or maybe higher and I’m just not telling. I have serious startitis and the weather being [...]

Remember having to write those essays the first week of school? Well, school starts tomorrow, and since I just came back from a few days of vacationing in lovely Ohio, it fits nicely.
First, I finished up the Gift of Friendship scarf that took forever to knit, because I like long scarves and I was [...]
