My Satyr Hat!

Its finished! My Satyr hat from Storied yarns!

This is my Simple Slouchy Hat in the Satyr colorway from storied yarns! I just love the colors! I hope to finish this hat by Saturday! So i can wear it!

My Harry Potter Kit is Here!

I ripped open my package in my car from Genevra Dreamy this is her blog ., wishing I had tinted windows because I was elated with excitement! I put this wonderful hat on right away, which is made of Alpaca (my favorite yarn!) It is also made with my favorite color and my house color ...Slytherin! Genevra's knitting was perfect. I love how it fits. I was checking everything out then found my fingerless gloves! My first crocheted pair! I must say I haven't crocheted in awhile and these gloves make me want to make some! Did I say I was really excited! I wore this hat at work today even though it was in the 80's. I got some looks, but I didn't care!

I sorted out the box a little here it is before I set everything out!

One of the boxes had a (Green) candle in it. I love candles! The other box had my gloves in it along with the beautiful Stitch markers. I must learn how to make them because I  have seen some amazing markers and they add bling to your knitting! I love them! Then there is the candy. Which by the way the boys went crazy over! They couldn't figure out how Genevra knew what they liked! My son wants to play go fish with the cards shaped like the snowman. I also received a note pad. I love those and am always in a need for one.

 I had a Truffle after lunch today. It was AWESOME! I also snacked on my all time favorite snack Twizzlers! I would rather my Barry bring me home Twizzlers before flowers any day. That's how much I love those! 

My first ever Harry Potter Book! I have read these books from the Library, but now I can read this one whenever I want!

With this being my first Harry Potter Swap this next item was perfect. It is the Government Manual for New Wizards. I am ready to be schooled! Inside this book were pictures to remind myself of Hogwarts.

This swap gave me the opportunity to feel Knit Picks yarn. I ordered some for the person I spoiled and I have 2 skeins of Shadow Forest Heather lace weight Merino wool here.  It is very soft and It's GREEN!  She also gave me 2 shawl patterns Brandywine and Abrazo  They are both really nice shawls!  I really like the shapes of them. They are different than some of the shawls I have seen. WOW, Wow, WOW. What an awesome kit!  I love it!  I can't wait for the next swap I had fun geeking out on all the fun I had making the kit I sent out and receiving  my kit. Did I say I was excited! Thank you again Genevera! (Jamie) You Rock!

I made my friend Jessica a sackboy for her son. I think I am addicted to knitting them. He was so much fun to make. I wonder what his name will be?

My Annis Shawl

I'm well on my way to getting my Annis shawl finished. I checked on ravelry and I am amazed some knitters are completing this shawl in a couple of days. I didn't enjoy the nupps at all. I am now starting on my short rows and then will have another skein out of my stash! I will be working hard at getting some of my stash yarn knitted up, as it has grown over the summer. Yikes! I do enjoy looking at the cakes sitting on my shelf. It's kind of Artsy looking!

My First Spinning Wheel!

I got an Ashford Spinning wheel today at a festival in Ocala!  Barbra is my spinning wheels name! I named her after the wonderful lady that sold her to me. She took the time to talk with me about spinning and may I say her spinning was top notch! Both skeins were very even. I still need to get more bobbins and a lazy Kate. Maybe I can get my wonferful husband to build me one. I am very excited to start another craft! Thank you Barry! You are a wonderful man to support my fiber craziness! I love you!

Eye Cord

I knew one day I would need glasses. I also know glasses always fall off of my face, so I made some eye cord in my Storied Yarns "Last Olympian" colorway. I love it. I must make more. Also, my favorite yarn shop Storied Yarns  has another shop on the Art Fire site. Check it out! She has some really nice spinning fiber as well.

My Summer Girl Scarf

My Summer Girl Scarf is finished and blocked. I will be wearing it today even though it will be 83 degrees. I finished this scarf on my trip to see the fall leaves. It was fun knitting the colors I would see in the leaves. Well here it is.

This was a project that you had to pay attention to every row. It kept my interest that way. It was not a tedious knit. Now I must either decide if I want to make fingerless mittens to go with it or a hat. Hmmmm.. We shall see.

Here is a scarf I am working on for a KAL I am doing on Ravelry in the Storied Yarns group! It is 46" so far. I hope to have it finished this weekend.

Wild Wool!

Look! A lego game that  would be fun to play! It is made of wooly goodness! It has sheep in it! My kids even told me...hey mom this is a game for you! Maybe santa will bring me one for Christmas!

I love how my knitting project has jewlery now! My stitch markers are beautiful jewels dangling on my sock! I love it!

My First Stitch Markers!

I've been RAOK'D! My first stitch markers! They are so awesome! I love that Ambyr (Bartlebean) made them and they are flowers! Thank you so much Ambyr! My HSKS friend!
