I never thought I’d be saying this, but here goes:
I think I have too much yarn.
Not that I don’t love it, you understand. Not that I don’t take it all out of the basket every so often, arrange it in a neat semi-circle on the floor, and admire it. Not that I don’t pull […]

Last week I was admiring this gorgeous roving from FreckleFaceFibers on Etsy, 4.4 ounces of BFL. I emailed a link to Pirate-Husband just to say how beautiful it was, and added that I was tempted to break my yarn & fiber diet for it. (As if it’s not broken enough!) Then I emailed the […]

No kidding, there I was, picking out another two balls of Sugar and Cream in Michael’s with Pirate-Husband so that I can make a Swiffer cover for an online friend who commissioned one in yellow and blue. Those selected, I commented that I still didn’t know what to knit for my friend Asa, who […]

Pirate-Husband was working at a job site in Bethesda today. From the top of the roof he surveyed the town. “There’s the Mongolian barbeque,” he said to himself, “I should eat there for lunch. And… I think I remember that there’s a yarn store right across the street.”
So before he went home, Pirate-Husband went over […]

The Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival signified the break in my yarn and fiber diet. I drove up by myself, wandered around for a bit, and bought this rainbow skein of Trekking XXL before meeting up with Veronica. We goaded each other into buying stuff. After she left, I met up with friends Angie […]

I think self-striping sock yarns are a good standby for when you need a mindless knitting project. That way they look fantastic in just a plain stockinette. *enables*
Janis, I love you, but have you seen my stash lately? I so don’t need any more self-striping sock yarn! I do love the plain stockinette sock, […]

Today I stayed home from work sick. These Canadian germs are kicking my butt! It’s cloudy out today, so these aren’t the best color representations. I’d like to build a lightbox for photos, once we’re all moved into the new house.
Anyway, I’m pretty excited about making Revolution. There’s something about knitting […]

At WEBS, I wandered slowly through the aisles, touching every single yarn with one finger. Then I bought enough yarn for Revolution, in a warm brown color with sage green for the accent color.
A few days later, I went to Yarn Forward in Ottawa, and picked up a ball of Lang Jawoll sock yarn. […]

I am just past the gusset decreases on the Garter Rib Sock. Here it is, showing its stripy wonderfulness. This colorway should be called Mardi Gras instead of Pirate’s Booty - the greens and purples and golds are so vibrant.
And at last, the Noro Kureyon Sock Yarn is here. It took more than two […]

When I heard that Blue Moon Fiber Arts had added new colors, I went straight to the website to look at them. After a lot of back-and-forth, and some discussions with certain Enablers (notably Pirate-Husband, who laughed and told me to just buy the damned yarn already), I was still a little unsure about buying […]
