It's been an interesting few months for me. I won some great ribbons at the Fair in November, spent time with my friends and family over the Holidays and have been spinning lots of pretty yarns.
Most importantly, my dearest friend, my confidante Snoopy Van Gogh passed away right before Christmas. He had been ill for a while and took a sudden turn. Dozens of times throughout each day, I think of him, look for him, wait for him to burp or do puppy wiggles. It's been rough, but I have Mo to snuggle with, and great friends and family to help me.
That is all I have for now, talk to you guys soon!

Punk Kaleidoscope
hello friends!
I have been super busy working and making yarns. And playing pinball, lots and lots of pinball. So much pinball that my hands were in claw positions for about a week. I went to a pinball festival in mid November. OOOOO so much fun! And OOOOO so much pain!
But this lovely yarn makes me forget all my pain. It's soft and squishy and it makes me smile.
Have a great day!

Ziggy Zaggy sock
Hello friendly people,
The blog has gone quiet (yet again). This has been a busy summer working and handing out with friends. I have been knitting socks and spinning up some pretty yarns.
Summer is now winding down, I hope yours was good!

One day, I will own this machines, yes I will.

I've got stripes, stripes across my.... face?
Move over cowls and shawlettes, self striping socks are the new rage and I am a huge follower!
This cuff down sock I am knitting on US 1 needles is made out of Twisted Limone Designs yarn. She is over is in UK and dyes up some gorgeous yarn.
I am enamored by the stripes. I find myself thinking, "I am going going to knit to the end of this stripe then stop, but I keep knitting.
I am also giving the after-thought heel a try. I will be using the Knitgirllls tutorial for it. I have already knitted one after thought heel, and was kind of iffy whether I liked it or not (that is more an issue with the yarn I was using at the time).
For those that are not familiar with the after thought heel, here is a brief explanation.
As you are knitting your sock, regardless if it is cuff down or toe up, when you come to the point where you would start the process for your heel. you knit across half your stitches with waste yarn, then you go back to your working yarn and continue knitting the rest of your sock. When you go back to do the heel, you work a little magic and basically decrease like you would the toe of a sock.
My problem is that I can not wrap my head around is the placement of the waste yarn. Meh, no biggie, i will figure it out eventually. or have someone draw a line on my foot to tell me where it needs to go.
Now, go buy some yarn! (So I won't have to)

I claim this yarn stash in the name of Kimber
Afternoon all,
Long time no blog.
What have I been up to lately, lets see. Working a lot, it is springtime and that means lots do to! I had a birthday in March, it came and went without a lot of fanfare. Some drama, but what else is new.
I have been spinning a ton! I have new yarns getting ready to be added to my etsy shop over the next week and then more will be added probably at the end of May when things slow back down.
Snoopy says Howdy and Mo, Snoopy's cohort in crime is a father! His son, Rambo was born about 4 or 5 weeks ago and he opened his eyes last week. Rambo will be staying with his mom but hopefully we will be able to see him and get a few pictures.
In the great words of Porky Pig,
"That's all for now folks!"
