So this weekend my darling husband took me to several thrift stores looking for pieces for my Halloween costume, which I'll keep you up to date on that progress. No such luck on that front, but I bagged 6 sweaters.

 

No I’m not stocking up for winter. I'm going to give into my childish, destructive side and rip them apart and then dye to my little heart's content. I'm most excited about the cashmere sweater and most scared by it as well. A couple are wool blends with synthetics and I'm not sure how those will turn out. But all in all it should be fun. So look for hand painted yarn in the store soon. ^_^

 

I’m test knitting a really cool hat pattern for Lee Meredith and that is going well, quite fun actually.I still haven’t finished my 2nd pair of Xmas sock, hey don’t look at me like that.  I’m working on it. I’ve got some spinning to do so this will be all for today.  I’ll leave you with my favorite pic this week.  My dog, Ranger, watching our favorite show, Mythbusters.

Jamie is his favorite, but I’m an Adam Fan.  Later gators!

Ok I’ll Admit It

I’m a little absentminded, easily distracted perhaps. Whatever you want to call it, it boils down to I misplace a lot of things. So I'm working on a line of products for my shop to help me and the other absentminded knitters out there. Surely I'm not the only one, right?

 

The first products I am adding to the shop  are “Leashed" Scissors. Scissors with a chain on them so you can secure them to your work in progress bag. I love them because I have about 20 pairs of scissors in this house and I can never find even one set when I need them. Here are some pictures of the pairs I will be listed today.

I’ve almost perfected my glasses holder, I’m not a fan of the traditional lanyard.  After that I’m making something to hold my stitch markers and then something for needles.  Then perhaps I can not have to spend the majority of my time looking for my tools.

 

If you have a suggestion, send it to me.  If you want a “Leashed” pair of Scissors of your own visit my shop.
