Last week Abby and I decided to do a fiber swap. We’ve known each other online for a while, yet we never had any of each other’s fibers. If you read down past her magnificent article on carding and spinning tweed yarns, you’ll see what I sent her.

This is the fabulousness that Abby sent me:

I wanted to spin it all up last night. But I left the house. I know, I’ve been doing that more often. I’ve been going to Knit at Night at The Knitting Experience on Thursdays. Nights out are good.

As soon as I can knock off work for today I’ll be working on those batts and making them into some fabulous yarn.

There is a new site called RAVELRY.
It’s a cool place. I’ve been lucky enough to have been able to test it for a little while. I love this site. It’s very cool and addicting. It’s like My Space for Yarnies. Only it’s way cooler than My Space. It’s an awesome place to go and let your fiber hang out. Go check it out. Seems like a bunch of people announced it’s opening yesterday (I’m forever late with the good news) so I won’t put up more screen shots or anything. Just go check it out, you’ll like it.

Jessica and Casey rock for putting all this together. Thank you guys for working so hard to make such a cool site.

Now for the Pulsations….

The sock pattern is done and free.
PULSATIONS

Have fun making lace socks.

Or just missed the recipe?
I had a fantastic weekend that spilled over into Monday so I decided I wasn’t going to try and get a recipe done. You know a weekend is good if walk away with a new piece of metal in your face. Ok, I know that’s just me, but I wasn’t the only one with new metal in my face. The weekend was filled with fantastic fabulous friends, giggles, fiber, amazing food, and just a really good time. It was truly one of the better weekends of my life.

A good weekend in which a wheel was attacked with a squirrel:

And I ignored Brown in favor of better knits:

Cutie pie baby booties.

Pattern: 50 Baby Booties
I altered the “slip on” pattern with 3 less stitches over the toe to accomodate the Mary Jane strap.
Yarn: Lion brand glitter. This is the best use for this yarn. Wizard of Oz “there’s no place like home” booties.
Needles: US3

I finished the Pulsations socks:

Pattern: Pulsations (I’ll post it soon, I promise)
Yarn: Spunky Eclectic SuperNova color “Pulse”
Needles - US 2(but I knit loose)

And made more headway on the Gulls wings:

Pattern: Socks Socks Socks - Gulls Wings
Yarn: Spunky Eclectic SuperNova color “How Very Berry”
Needles - US 2(but I knit loose)

Then at the very end there was some stash enhancing. In which I got the yarn for Baby Boogie’s new sweater. I just need to figure out now how I want to make it. Oh, and finish Brown first since that has to go back by the end of the week. I did start working on it again last night. A couple of days and I’ll be on to greener pastures again.
