proud to be a yarn whore

NO LIMITS
Apparently I will find a way to take this knitting obsession in as many directions as possible.

I've been good about NOT buying yarn lately...or at least not so much yarn. I would like to use up some stash first.

But the knitting hunger needs to be fed. Feed me...

Have embarked on a new knitting accessory--beaded stitch markers. Not really beads, more like charms. I O pix in a big way. So today I made eight stitch markers--four turtles and four frogs. They fit up to a 10.5 needle, maybe even an 11.

Oh how I loves worshipping at the altar of knitting; I have brought forth yet more gifts to bestow upon it. And will no doubt find more arts-n-craps ways to bring more.

MILESTONES!!!
The cardigan parts have been sitting for a few days. Partly because it's been hot. Partly because I don't really like to sew.

So I pinned.

I pinned the fronts to the back and TRIED ON THE SWEATER THAT I KNITTED!!!

Then I picked up and knit, started a sleeve. It was not so hard at all. Then I INCREASED! I learned to Make One.

Clearly a fab night for knitting skills!

Wednesday

BIG, SWEET BOX OF CRACK
Got the knitpicks box of fun today. Mmmmmmmmmmmm...knitpicks box of fun.

I have sweater yarn, two books--Knit Lit and Knit Lit, too, because if I am not knitting, I at least want to be reading about it--some yarn to play with and shawl yarn. I am going to make a lace shawl as soon as I go to the LYS and grab some pointier needles. Laceweight is hard to grab, yo.

Pix soon. Of the box of Happy.

Tuesday

HOT S.E.X.
When I treat myself, I treat myself.

I now have a $100 box of fun coming to me from knitpicks.com

Stash enhancing, indeed. I think I need a cool shower.
