ok – so in listening to the podcast I here you are in STL. I think you are my savior. No really. I am moving to Kansas City, but will probably be spending a lot of time in STL since the boy works there at least once a month. Moving from the nice warm south to MO has not been appealing to me, but now…well, NOW! I called him and made dirty yarn noises at him – I am sure he will keep that voicemail FOREVER! – I lurk about your site already. *sigh*

How wonderful that you and Miss Lime got to meet! And yay for pictures!

I’m working on a pair of socks with the Fleece Artist I got from you. All I can say is wow…these are going to be some be-yoo-tiful socks when they are done. This is my first time knitting with FA and I love it!

Yay Lime! I knew you’d get invaded sooner or later.

I live with my mom right now (I’m 24) and anytime I talk about when I’ll be moving out (soon) she gets all pouty… and we’ve already been through this when I went to college. We love living together, but it does make it hard to cut the cord.

I didn’t work on much this weekend… I did a lot of napping. I did make a little bit of progress on my intarsia bag, only ten rows to go before I’ve finished the first side.

Time to gloat a little here…:)

Went to the Loopy Room today, and guess what! It grew!! What was actually the Loopy Corner of Sheri’s basement has become a little sitting/TV watching area…and the rest of her finished basement is now the superdoopermorethantwiceasbig Loopy Room! WOW. So much space, and soooo much to choose from! I wish all of you could get the chance to shop in person. (Sorry Sheri, I know you’d be nuts if we all were there tromping through your house!) I brought a couple of cool yarns that I had purchased online, and Sheri is going to look into them.

Then Zoe (the cat) scared the who-knows-what out of the other shopper who was there while I was…by taking a flying leap and landing claws outstretched, perched on the lady’s back like she was waiting for a piggy-back ride! You know how the saying goes…”needles – 12 dollars, patterns – 20 dollars, yarn – way-to-many dollars, the look on the previously smiling customer’s face when Zoe landed on her back – PRICELESS!!” But that’s part of the fun of shopping in the Loopy Room!

I won’t spill the beans, but I got a look at some of the things which will be popping up on the website soon….mmmmmmmmm yummy! Now back to my knitting….

Got totally disgusted at not being able to keep my mind on knitting the lovely sleevelss tank from Melville’s ‘Purl’…frogged what I had done . Then I cast on and started a baby sweater. Nice and simple.

I finished my son’s first sock in Trekking 102 and started the second (I’m on the foot of that on). And I also started a pair of socks for my sister for her birthday in May.

I’m working on a beautiful scarf knitted in a blend of alpaca and cashmere. I can’t say enough what a tactile pleasure thte knitted fabric is. But, I didn’t touch it at all over the weekend because I was spinning some gorgeous merino/mohair yarn and dyeing my own merino superwash roving. So much fun!

Another Sock Madness Competitor here.
I did mine out of the Crystal Palace Panda Cotton..purchased from The Loope Ewe of course.
In fact..I bought almost all the yarn I need for the competition from you! =)
The only reason why it is not all is because I needed a variegated sport weight..and you were out of the LL sport.
I love, love love, all the yarns I have bought from you! I can’t wait to see them “grow up” into socks.

Oh! I liked getting a peek too of what TLE looks like

I needed to cast on another project like I needed a hole in the head, but that Perchance to knit yarn just would NOT wait so Black Rainbow is on the needles and one sock is almost done. Meanwhile, I have a pair of pink LL Waving lace socks (for a breast cancer fund raiser) in progress, a shawl, and a cable sweater. I’m so bummed that SOMEONE ELSE won the mega millions lottery! That was MY money so I could buy all the yarn I wanted and knit as much as I wanted LOL
