A Descent into Madness Part 3.

I know it has been a while since I have updated this blog about my ongoing projecct that is the Lyrs tablecloth, so here it is. I last left off on row 149, which took me up through a flower motif and I am working on the corner leaf panels. It is a bit difficult to remember sometimes though where you have to do pattern repeats to create the corners. I solved this problem by placing diffrent colored stitch markers right before the panel to remind me where to do the repeat from the chart.

I have also learned to ignore the prevous row as charted because I was getting confused as to what I was doing because the charted row I was knitting on made no sense in the charted row I had just completed. None of the symbols matched up and it was making me crazy. Sometimes you just have to let things flow.

Anyhow, until next time.

Sock Yarn Club! August Shipment.

So yesterday I found a great suprise waiting for me when I got home from work. I go another shipment from the Hazel Knits Sock Yarn Club. This month was another great suprise for me not only because of the AWESOME colors I got (The spicy brown was my favorite), but it came with two goodies this time. Wendee sent along an exclusive shawlette patter from Stick Chick Knits, and a cuite cookie cutter to make gingerbread men with. I sense a need to bake coming on now.

New Spinning Toy!

I would have posted this earlier, but I was having too much fun playing with my new toy.

I got a Kromski spinning wheel!!!!!! Nuff said.

I have been wanting one for a while because I really liked the quality, and they have gotten alot of great reviews from some of the sites I have visited. However, I was having a hard time getting the money together, but I was more than suprised to recieve it for my annivessary gift. I think I really need to thank someone big time now.

I wasn't even scared when I saw the box sitting in the living room, and remembered my complete lack of skills at carpentry. The DVD that came with this beauty was a HUMONGOUS help though, and it took me about two hours to assemble my Kromski Minstrel.

It turned out beautifully too. I it a really sturdy and beautifully made wheel. True quality and fine craftsmanship here.

The oriface is taller than my Ashford Traditional, which required me to find a taller chair.

I'm still doing a happy dance all over the house.

Now I am off to spin some awesome yarn.

Your Demotivatior for now.

It's been a while since I have blooged, and I can't think of anything to post right now. So, have a DEmotivator in the meantime.
