Oh also...

While I was in Indy to see the Harlot, we swung by the Knit Stop yarn store to browse and kill some time.

I bought some soft cotton yarn to make my baby nephew some sort of summery sweater...


(Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton) Pretty!!!!!

Also, in the back of the store on the floor... we saw a GIANT BOX OF DREAM IN COLOR SMOOSHY JUST SITTING THERE UNATTENDED.

My plans to drag it secretly out of the store didnt work, but I definitely wanted to climb inside that box and bathe in the beautiful colors for awhile.

I settled for a hug. :-)


Sigh....

FO time!!!

Guess what!

My Bulky IHS is allllllllllll done!


I wore it to work today and I am so glad I had it.... it was like 10 degrees out, brrr!!!


I am pretty happy with it... could have stood to have it a little longer, but I ran out of yarn :)

Also finished is my beautiful pair of fetching, made from dream in color:


Gorgeous! I want to keep them for myself!!! hmm I do have plenty of yarn left...Maybe ill make some more! :D


Hope everyone else survived getting back to work!

Where my STITCHES at????

YAY!!!!!!!!!! My Ravelry Tshirt FINALLY came!!!!!


Woot!!!! I like it a lot. Although I did order a large, and was worried to find it so SNUG... even with my recent weight loss! lol. Oh well, it fits alright as long as I dont gain anything ;-) I do like the design though. It will be perfect under other shirts too!

Otherwise still knitting on my IHS.. I just started the second ball. So that means I got 34" out of one skein. Not too shabby!

Designated Knitter and I are in cahoots to knit our coworker a scarf & gloves, since she graciously bought us lunch today as an xmas present! Our idea involves DREAM IN COLOR yarn... so I am SUPER pumped about that. Ever since I knit my Rocketry (Ravelry link here) I have been dying to use it again!!!!!

Hope everyone has a fun weekend, I have several family Christmas parties... several with my future in-laws and fam (but they are all super awesome and I am excited)!!!!

Yarn candies and more yarn MMM!

So much yarn!!!!!!

First off, the Dream in Color baby sweater kits (the ones that the Yarn Harlot made so popular) that Cynthia and I ordered came in, so I got into work to find this waiting on my desk:


woo hoo! What a cute pattern!


The yarn is so pretty and in small little balls... they look like candies... almost good enough to eat?


Lol I am a big strange, yes.

Then today when I went home for lunch I found this waiting for me on my doorstep:


More yarn! Hooray! Its a box o' Knit Picks Swish Superwash, and it is going to be a blanket for a cute little boy I know!

In other news.... my car is OLD:


I guess it had to happen eventually! (It's a '98)

Have a good rest of your week everyone!
