The Yarn NEEDS to GO!

I have 3 envelopes waiting to be sent with some of the yarn from the pictures. Below are two more pictures of all of the yarn that needs to be gone from my apartment!!! Please ask for some if you want it. If not, it's going into the garbage, I know, horrible.

Some sock yarn is still left.

Below is the majority of my stash. I had 2 of those bins full in my closet, now with the drawer storage I have cut that down to 1 large bin.

Below is the majority of my sock yarn in the purple drawer storage. Amazingly, yes I am cutting down. *sounds of shock in the background*

My parents came today and now after over a year and a half I have new blinds and CURTAINS!!!!! And they're GREEN!!!! Yay!!!!

I have also decided to show you some new colourways that hopefully will be making their way into the shop along with the new silk/merino blend sock yarn and my new worsted weight also. =)

Sun and Cold

The sun is out, but it's still a wee bit brisk out today.
I usually have a pair of dummy socks going for when I sit in class and stuff. Lately the socks have been replaced by hats, but I decided a new pair of socks was needed. Below is my new pair. The colourway is my Sex Kitten in my new sock base for the Celtic Sock Yarn. I am also going to be adding a silk/merino base and a worsted weight merino to the collection. I hope you guya enjoy them.

I bought this pattern today because I always wanted to try it. I'm using Bernats Cottontots for the bears. Its a really beautiful and soft yarn. I definately suggest peple knitting for babies use it. =)

Rain

I love rainy days. These days just make you want to relax and chill. It's glorious.

The nice thing about rainy days is I get to wear my hand knit socks. I'm starting another pair in Socks That Rock.


About the yarn, it's being randomized and the people who actually posted their e-mails will recieve one tonight asking for addresses. Sorry, but you don't get to choose which yarn you get.

More Stuff. . .

Soo for some reason I've actually felt like cleaning lately. Yesterday the room I was really working on was my kitchen. There's a reason there's no before picture of anything because the only clean room was the hallway. I also starting finishing the laundry, most of the dishes are done and I really need to vacuum. Oh well, LOOK A CLEAN KITCHEN! Yay! Oh! I can also sit on both my futons now. . . . frightening isn't it?

I've been wanting to purchse this book for while, not because I'm pregnant (hell no) but because everything in it is so beautiful and soft looking. So I finally went and bought it. I bet I'll use it when I actually do have kids, but thats not for several years. =P

I'm starting with the baby blanket in a natural blue sky cotton that they had. The dyed cotton is sooooo bright and actualy hurts my eyes. I love bright, but for a baby I think mute is more beautiful so it doesn't take away from their cuteness. Yes Anna, I said babies can be cute. . .

Here is Steve's beanie so far, I added 4 stripes instead of just 2. He LOVES blue, so I think it'll work. =P


I was asked about my orange beanie pattern. It's really simple to create. I'll give you a rough pattern right now:

Materials:
1/2 skein of Cascade 220 - colour 1
1/8 skein of different colour in Cascade 220 - colour 2
size 8 16" circular needles
Tapestry needle

CO 80sts.
In colour 1 - knit 2" of 2x2 ribbing.
Knit 3/4" of stockinette.
Knit 3 rows of colour 2.
Knit 2 rows in colour 1
Knit 3 rows in colour 2
Switch back to colour 1 for 3" of stockinette.
Then begin decreases:
Every 9 stitches K2Tog
Knit row
Every 8 stitches K2Tog
Knit row
Every 7 stitched K2Tog
Knit row
(continue to decrease the number after every knit row until you are down to 8 stitches, then take your tapestry needle and run it through all stitches, then pull tight and weave in all of your ends)

Also about the YARN, it would be great if I had EMAILS so I could CONTACT people and also you guys don't get to choose which yarn you get, you just get it. . . .

More hats. . . .

This is what I saw before I fell asleep. =P

Yep, I already finished the orange beanie. Again, these are all stash busters. I am also going to be giving away a crap load of yarn this week. So stay tuned and read all of this post. =) Yeah I'm tired and I bet you can tell.

Top of the hat

Steve's beanie that I'm working on. It will consist of 2 dusky blues and a navy. I hope he likes it when it's done.

Here is the yarn that is being given away. I'm paying shipping, I just want it gone =P. So basically everyone who wants yarn leave a comment please and I'll give it out as people leave comments. Some is sock yarn and some isn't.
