Reference Well, Mel ask for a close up, so here it is. Yep, the tattoos are long gone. They only lasted about two days, and then they started to wear off, so we washed them the rest of the way off. You see, they were only airbrush tattoos. Sorry to disappoint. We got the tattoos…

Yeah!
Reference Woohoo! Look what arrived on Wednesday! The fleece that I bought from Triple R Farms at MSWF arrived. Ain’t it purdy! As you might have suspected, I have already started spinning it. Being that it was over a six pound Romney fleece (though it may be less six now after processing), I have plenty to…

Milestones
Reference Another blog entry, another completed project! I finished my slip stitch rib socks in Djinni in the Reluctant Dragon colorway this past weekend. They immediately were washed and on Wednesday were worn all day. The yarn is 80% superwash merino, 10% cashmere, and 10% nylon. Having worn the socks, I can tell you that they…

Blue (Da Ba Dee)
Reference Here’s a pic of my current knitting and spinning projects. Can you guess what my favorite color is? For the Ice Ice Baby sock, I am nearing the finish line. I am on the leg of the second sock, so hopefully I will finish it up in the next week. Kokomo is making slower…

Baby Talk
Reference It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Don’t worry, I am still knitting. In fact, I am working on baby sweaters because pregnancy seems to be contagious at the moment. Two friends of mine are expecting their first offspring at any moment now, and my niece is expect her first child in July, so I…

Kokomo
Reference It’s been a while since I have actually talked about what I am actually working on, so I figured now would be as good of a time as any to do that. First, the infamous Ice Ice Baby sock. I took this photo this morning. I finished off the first sock this evening after…
