Yay for Secret Pals!

Friday, July 28th, 2006

So I spent the better part of yesterday worrying about my job situation. It’s a real disapointment to have worked the last couple years and then have trouble finding work in said field. Sort of like investing in really nice, pricey yarn and knitting a pattern that quite doesn’t quite fit right. […]

SP8 questionaire…

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

I’m having so much fun with SP8. It’s great to go out shopping and think of SP gifts…and then pick them out specifically for them. I love spoiling people…if only I had enough money to spoil everyone around me. And of course, receiving SP packages! Who doesn’t like being gifted?
1. What is your favorite season?

Hot hot heat!

Tuesday, July 25th, 2006

The weather has been off the charts lately, and it’s really been difficult knitting in this heat. It’s been crazy HOT but today was alot better. I even got out to do a lil shopping and went to sushi with my boyfriend. Mmmm sushi!

I’m liking how the Dreamswatch knit is turning out…it […]

Take two.

I had to reassess the yarn for the Dreamswatch.  I’m loving the Silk Garden Lite but I felt that the yarn should drape more, does that make sense?  Anyway, I switched it and I’m now using the Koigu Kersti sent by my Secret Pal (8).  Knitting with Koigu is wonderful.  And I love love the […]

Use yarn in stash! (before you go and buy more!)
I’ve been scouring the ‘net for patterns and found a some takers…

The search continues.

Merci beaucoup One Skein Secret Pal!

First of all, I just wanted to send a big THANK YOU to my One Skein Secret Pal. She really hit it on the nose with both of them in gorgeous shades of green. Green has definitely been my colour lately. She sent me a Princess Classic Elite and Noro Silk Garden […]

I’m too sexy for my…

Thursday, July 6th, 2006

Check out my new baby! I’m a sucker for technology and this was a pretty cool find. I wasn’t intending on buying a Sony Walkman W700i phone because I was looking for a flip type phone and being quite vague about what I wanted. I got hooked up a really cool store […]
