Blogging

I'm horribly behind on my blogging. I have projects to put up and the Loopy Ewe Spring Fling still to blog about. It seems there is never enough time in the day. Now that God has become one of my minions on Ravelry, I'll get him to add more time into my day
:)

Another Reason Why No Knitting is Being Done

Tomorrow I promise more spinning pics (my first plied skein!!!!!) and some actual knitting content

One Reason Why No Knitting is Being Done

So I got a giant trampoline. I figure its good exercise and there's always an reason to invite knitters over that way.

Yummy Numma Numma

I came home to find my Birthday present to myself on the doorstep this afternoon.

I ordered three Toasty Treat skeins from Numma Numma. The cool thing about ordering from the etsy shop is that you get a free short skein after you buy three regular skeins. So really, I got 4.

I love this yarn so much. I just want to roll in it.

Sunburned

I got sunburned yesterday helping out with Super Mustang Weekend at Nikki's school. I did manage to get a great photo of her in the dunking booth.

And I managed to get a little knitting done. More on that later...

Why I've Been Gone So Long

My mom totaled her car a few weeks ago the Monday after the knitting retreat. She's fine but we've been having to share a car for a few weeks and that seems to suck up a lot of time.

Leslie and I went camping (that's a picture of me knitting and freezing my butt off above). And I also had my 27th birthday party which was tons of fun. I'll update tomorrow with some pics of what I've been working on.

A set

Before I leave on the Mississippi Knitters Retreat, I have to share some finished objects with you. I'm vending at the retreat (sooooo nervous) so most of this weeks been about dyeing. I also found some time to knit this:

The pattern is the Unoriginal Hat by the Yarn Harlot. Love the pattern! I finished the hat in around 2 hours. The yarn is Schaeffer Esperanza that I bought when I heard her speak at Stash.
And mittens of the same yarn for Nikki (now that its 70s and sunny, she'll really get a lot of use out of them).
Pattern is from the Knitters Book of Yarn (fabulous book). It is the Chunky Winter Set by Amy King.
