OMG its a POST!

I know, you all are dying.  Just dying.   Many fabulous knitting things have happened, but have I blogged about them?  Of course not.

First, I went on the Threadbear Road Trip that Dee organized.   I bought no yarn, because a couple of days before I went I found an incredible pair of shoes for a very marked down price that ate up my yarn budget.  I did still manage to spend 40 dollars on patterns.   Dee organizes AWESOME trips, so go on the next one she does.

Oh, I also didn’t take any pictures.   Well, except this one.

It’s Monica’s “One Size Fits All” shirt!   As you can tell, it fits me!   I only wore it long enough to take the picture on the bus, and then threw it to Lynette.  It’s her job to wear it next.

The next yarn related event involved going to Loopy Yarn for their Spring Yarn Tasting.  I ended up  falling in love with Berroco Bonsai, which is mosty soy, with a polymide rapper.   It’s uncomfortably close to a novelty yarn, but it knits up great, and I fell in love with this sweater.

Yes, I will stand like that when I finish the sweater.  I went with brown though.  I’ve done a fair bit of the front, but if you all wait for me to go take a picture of it, this blog entry will never ever finish.  Instead, look at the baby baby ducks that are hanging out in my apartment’s pond.

Speaking of Loopy, my review of them on Yelp was May 23rd’s Review of the Day.  Yes, I squealed.

In other exciting knitting news, Monica is now a fabulous sock designer!  I got to test knit her sock patterns - here are two of them.

On the left is “Sweet Dreams”.  On the right is “Sleepwalkers”.   I used Socks that Rock lightweight Lemongrass, since I didn’t have any Dream in Color yarn.

There, that’s a blog entry that should hold you all for awhile.
