A picture or two

Sometimes I love the sky

Happy dance.

Wheeeeee. New books in the mail today. Crochet stitch bible and The crochet answer book. Happy fingers. New pattern stitches to try and diagrams and oh, so much more. On another note....I entered an even dozen things into the county fair yesterday. Hope I don't bomb. (=

Stash pictures for SP11 contest

Drawer 1 is my cotton. Mostly for when I go really nuts and decide to crochet lace. (=

Drawer 2 is all the other yarn. Really, all of it. Ok all the balls at least.


Drawer three is all the stuff still in skein.

And yes, cotton aside, there is only one skein of wool among the acrylics. The only other wool is being made into a hat and is in my desk drawer. That being where I work most often.
I really miss that camera.

Amazon wishing.

Things I have done or want to do.

If it is Bold, I have done it. Italic, I want to try it. Underlined, I have no Idea but maybe. Left plain, I don't think so.

And my preference is to crochet. =P

Time for pictures of FO's

Going to fix my picture sharing issues, then post them... I am learning by trial and "Oh, man, *what* did I do?

Sort of a picture of me....(=

Uhhhh. Think I feel silly.

The hat. And more when I don't feel like such a comp illiterate goob.

Minor droolage.

I have decided that there are 2 magazines that I would like to get my hands on. One is CRAFT and the other is Interweave: Crochet. I have found that I only really knit under duress and I would love to find some crochet sock patterns so I can join ya'll in your sock-based insanity... But until then I will use the partial skeins and funky emnants of sock weight yarns I have collected for special little bags. Oh so soft and fluffy. I really will try to put up some pictures of the things I have been making to avoid working on what I am supposed to be doing. Bags, Headbands and more bags. Have a good night all.

Ya know,

One of these days I will be in a store that has a decent crafting section and I will actually buy a hook and needle gauge. I have a bunch of DPN's that I snagged from my mom and I honestly have no clue as to what sizes they are. Since for the most part I work from my head, it doesn't so much matter, but if I ever tried to write down what I did it would suck. No gauge folks, figure it out as you go.
