My friend Jasmine and I went to check out the Connecticut Sheep and Wool Festival on Saturday.
It was a teeny tiny festival but it was fun. There were some great vendors and I even learned a little about needle felting then gave it a whirl later on. Results below.
First there was shopping:

Some Roving [...]

TGIF!

  Let me start by saying that if you do NOT want to see the new Socks That Rock kit, do not scroll down.  There, spoiler announced.  
Thank goodness it’s Friday.  I don’t even care if it’s rainy.  It’s a busy day here as we have some pesticide people coming over to take care of some [...]

Bunny

Here is my “bunny”, my as close as I can get to laceweight singles!  It’s pretty lime greens and periwinkles.  I didn’t count the exact yardage yet but at minimum it should make a nice lacy scarf.  Not too bad.  It’s all dry now so I’m anxious to give it a try and see how [...]

I am again, newly bitten by the spinning bug.  Sunday night was the monthly local spinning meet up where I had the opportunity to pick up my spinning again and finish some lovely “Bunny” which is merino, silk and angora.  I was working on lace weight (or near lace weight) singles since I’d love to knit my first [...]

Poor little kitty.

Purl was adjusting well after her surgery.  She tended to her poor little shaved leg.  (Why she chose to sit in the litterbox, I don’t know).

She put weight on it and was thrilled to walk around, and sad when I put her back in the kennel.  She’d purr and rub her body against the grate [...]

 This is the second round for the coffee swap but I didn’t know about it the first time so I’m a second time around newbie!  Matches go out soon so this will be fun!  In the meantime, I thought I’d post [...]

Thankful

Sorry, I forgot my cord again.  I’m chalking this bad blogging week up to this cold that is kicking my arse.
 However, my friend Marianne had a nice post about being thankful for little things despite the crazy dreary weather we had been having earlier in the week.
I thought I’d share some little things I’m thankful [...]

I intended to post some pics of my sweet recovering kitty but forgot my cord for the camera at home.
I intended to not buy yarn until 2008, but you saw yesterday’s post.
I intended to start South Beach on Monday.
I have thus decided to give myself a break.  I’m still sick, didn’t sleep last night and [...]

Purl’s stitches came out well and she is doing fine.  Resting at home and should be free to roam in five to six weeks.  She says thanks for the continued well wishes!
So that made me feel better to get over one more hurdle with her poor little leg…THEN I noticed that my favorite yarn to [...]

I should have known all the stress lately would catch up to me, and it did.  The Cape weekend likely got my body to relax then realize it needed to be ill.  Lovely.
My dear husband woke me up all night because he said, I was snoring horribly.  I don’t snore.  It’s just a nasty cold.
So, [...]
