Light it

Flame has been lit, and Team Sheepnuts has taken off. i cast on to Thermis and watched the opening cerimonies on Twitter and on the Team Sheepnuts/Three Irish Girls KAL Group Chat on Ravelry.

Sheepnuts is an interesting colorway. its natural colors found on a sheeep so its always changing. I'm interested in how this is going to turn out.
I keep feeling like im going in circles. I've had to frog and knit, and re frog  these 20 rows.

But, i feel good about it so... thats different.

Swap news...

I have this box growing full of cool little swap items. I really cant wait to send it. I dont know how much i can say... I dont have pictures quiet yet.



OH MY GOD. Sharron showed off the March colors that are in Springvale Bulky.

Now, first of Springvale is what i knitted Water in. its SO soft, and its washable. This is the BEAUTIFUL Springvale Bulky in 3IG's Zuzu's Petal's.


Im going to make Burberry Inspired Cowl & Bella Mits with it.

Frozen Wonderland

So i got a car yesterday. I'd take pictures of it... but its covered in about 5 inches of snow.

Snomageddon '10 has hit my fair little hovel. I just measured, its like 4 inches, and its still coming down...

The car is a 2007 Honda CRV EXL. its light blue... and yes i name my car. I used to have a mini cooper named Flash.  I didnt get to choose the color, i wanted black.

Its okay, because as we were going home my SO mentioned it was alice dress blue. So i think it will be called "Wonderland" it fits because there are so many little gadgets and new fangled buttons on it, that it practically is Wonderland.

Olympics are in a few days, i need to swatch 'Sheepn...' so i can start on Thermis. I have the pattern already. i bought it a while ago for my husband, just never made it i think it will look nice with netrual colors.

Got my partner for Alice in Wonderland Swap. im excited, my swap person has some things in common with me so thats a awesome plus.

Washed Blocked Swap?

Water has been finished. YEA!!

I finished it just before the new year, but was unable to weave in the ends and block until i found/got a larger needle for it.

Now thats done and its washed and blocked. I still need to take pictures and because its due to snow in a few...

I joined Alice in Wonderland Swap. Im excited. lots of intresting things you can get at a swap. I hope i can do my swap person proud. i tend to fuck up swaps. i dont think i will this time. ive learned from my mistakes in the past what to do ... what not to do.
