Love the yarn. And not to be contrary, but these are the "real" biker chicks

The kind of texts knitters send
So, I may have ordered a lot of Babs. So much that it will be coming over the course of a couple weeks, rather than in one shipment as is common. Here's what just arrived. A bit of Biker Chick in Tarte (also available in Cosmic). One of the common laments I receive from you all via e-mail g...
You can do it!
Don't diss the loom.
It's warm and wearable, right?
That's what matters most.
And washable for kids.
Stay warm.
Knitting Knightmare
Remember this sweater? It, and two other sweaters that are anywhere from 60-90% done reside in a tub next to our bed. This is a constant reminder to get to work and finish what I have started. So, I began. Again. The stitches on the sleeves were picked up and knit. Ripped out. Knit again...

So glad you had a wonderful Christmas. Looking forward to seeing what you create with your tools and fiber. Since I rarely give away my projects (am I selfish or just practical?) I feel for your sizing issues. Something happens between the yarn, the needles and the wearer.
Soon will be 12th Night here. Wonder what the Wise Guy will bring me since your DH did so well!
Happy Christmas
Wow, it's only 9:00 a.m. and we have done so much already this Christmas morning! I found out that the felted clogs I made DH for Christmas are too small: Argh! The clog itself would probably be okay if we just wet it and let him wear it on his feet a bit, but the slipper sole is definitely...

It was snowing when we got up. Then snowed again about 2pm while we ate. Was glad I didn't have to go anywhere.
Happy we got the furnace for the alpaca working as the high on Monday is to be -1! Yikes!
Twelfth Day of Sock Yarn
On the twelfth day of sock yarn, Simply Sock Yarn gave to me... a $50 store credit at the shop! To have a $50 credit applied to your online shop profile, simply answer the following question in the comments below: Is it snowing where you are today? How's that for an easy question on this day?!...
I knit and spin about 10 hours a week. Frequently more.
I live those colors-remind me of my Dad singing the alma mater at UW-Madison. Thanks to him I have plenty of Badger wear (Cardinal and white) to last for many years.
I had planned to spin yarn for a headband for him but he left us before I could finish.
More time.
Tenth Day of Sock Yarn
On the tenth day of sock yarn, Simply Sock Yarn gave to me... two skeins of Cascade Heritage (one paints, one solid)! To have a chance at winning these two skeins, simply answer the following question in the comments below. How many hours a week do you think you dedicate to the fiber arts? If...

Sock yarn is for knitting socks. My favs are Blue Moon, Claudia Handpaints and Sweet Georgia. That being said, I really do need new fingertipless gloves and washable ones for the barn would be great.
First Day of Sock Yarn
Woo hoo! It's that time of year! For the fifth time, we're celebrating the 12 Days of Sock Yarn at Simply Socks Yarn Company! From Dec. 14 through Dec. 25 you have a chance to win a special knitterly gift each day. Could be yarn, could be accessories, and it will definitely be awesome. Ho...

Finally finished. Nothing like your gorgeous knits, but dont think the baby will mind.
Go take a peek at Nov 2010 for my last SOAR experience.
Equally fun and filled with super people.

Monogamy
Truth be told I am not a particularly monogamous person. The thrill that raises my blood pressure, dilates my pupils, causes my face to flush and my hands to tremble is ever present. But lately I have been doing my best to be monogamous to: Oh, wait, you didn't think I meant that kind of mon...
