a place for everything
And since we can't really knit or even live without the dreaded 'drama', we now have a place for that too! Check out Nancy's knitting page over on Facebook. It's a cyber SnB since there is not really an active one in our area at this time. I am hoping my former SnB'ers will participate heartily! Also, there is a collaberative site in the works that will combine the energies once again of NC (me) and AK (Rebecca)! I am so excited about this as this energy really fuels mine. Happy Knitting everyone!

Ravelry is such a fun site to play on
keeping in mind this is a "drama-free" zone, I shall not whine-but I could not find this blog on my Ravelry page. After reading the tutorials on how to make this happen, I began looking at what are called the UGH! projects. Now I know where to go when I need a great laugh or inspiration to ditch a project that just isn't working! ROFL!(we are certain to have some to add)
a little but wonderful wallaby in process
since it's rained and thawed all day, it's not been the best outdoor day-so it's been movie marathon and knitting. (a most relaxing way to spend any gloomy day IMHO)
we attached the sleeves and are almost to the neck opening. CUTE!

just an early new year's day musing....
this year I will NOT be a yarn snob! If the yarn is suitable for the project and the recipient-be it me or someone else-I will not shun it because it's from Michael's or NOT from some over-priced yarn store or web site.
As my VBF just said: "if it works, use it!"
Now with that said, this small version of the Wonderful Wallaby I'm now knitting for young Brett J. (aged 2) is being knit of an acrylic yarn purchased at Michael's called Impeccable from Loops and Threads. 192 lovely yards of some really nice, soft, washable, wearable, acrylic yarn for $2.50/skein. It's knitting well, and I KNOW it will wear as well.
I still love luxury fibers and yarns, and have some wonderful stash awaiting my needles. I've spent some serious $$$ on these as well. I do NOT know how they will knit, or wear and DO know the care of whatever I knit of them will have to be "hand wash and rinse with cool water and very gently, be sure to not wring and lay flat to dry". Fine sometimes. Not fine all the time.
just an early new year's day musing....back to knitting.
