Spinnin' Yarns

You know, like an unmedicated root canal hurts a bit.

Not that anyone reads my blog, but if any of you do, I appreciate the thoughts and wishes. I'd write something more profound, but that would require taking brain power away from the current taxing intellectualness going on, which consists of trying not to throw up. It's been a full time job tonight.

So I'm kind of more sorry than not that I never went to New Orleans. Because I bet I could've gotten some beads.

So will you still love me when I have small boobs? Because that's what matters, that people like me for my boobs. You know.

Hooray!

I did two sleeves and the back... and I'm about 5 rows into the front... sewing it up scares me (heh... me, the sewer) but I'm excited...

I need to find out what other people lined theirs with.

It was my birthday yesterday (25 again!) and I went to Fiber Gallery's sale, and found this yummy eyelash yarn and some purple wool for felting...so I simply *must* make one of these:

I do love that dragonfly and wish I could afford it--but this stuff was on sale, and it'll be a fun bag.

Ok I just got my 8's (circ) freed from dd's skirt (yay!) and can now start something else!

As of April, I have a BIN full of yarn (rubbermaid, stuffed full).

Projects needing, well, a project.
Bleached recycled sari silk. 3 lbs. (will make and then "tie dye")

pink silky wool, 6 skeins 50g 175m each

green wool, 3 hanks, cascade something or other

turquoise soy silk with a funky novelty yarn to match--I want to do a cute summer teeish thing

4 black and 2 white balls of bamboo. Not much yardage, but maybe a tank?

tie-dyed wool (pink and blue and white)

gorgeous noro (thank you Mom!)

cheap black chenille, 4 or 5 skeins
nice chinese blue wool, a bag... thinking about that

some lovely blue/purple (overall periwinkle hue) funky novelty yarn. Can't wait to find a use for that.
Some green novelty (ladder) yarn

Projects in progress
I'm making Stitch N Bitch: The Happy Hooker's Cupcake in royal blue from knitpicks. Can't wait!!
Also trying from the same book, the spring in winter hat in red suede
homespun hoodie from lion brand (light blue-greenish)

pink embelllishment (crochet lace) for some pants I bought
phone case in something I bought to teach my son to knit
and I have some pink cotton with novelty fluffy stuff to make a tshirt for my dd

Oh, and I'm making a zig-zag scarf out of soy silk (pink and purple).
