...and then I turned around and it BIT HER!!!

I knit my sweetpea a pair of feet eater slippers from the book Knitting MochiMochi and I think she loves them! I knit them on size 6 and 8 US with Plymouth Yarn's Encore worsted (it's an acrylic/wool blend).

My bestie and I went to see a lady from Craig's List about some yarn last week. Check out what we scored!!!
There was raw wool/fleece both processed and unprocessed (full of pee and poo!!!), antique wheels, yarn on cones, in hanks, wool from New Zealand and silk!! It was C-R-A-Z-Y!!! And this isnt all of it!

I'm working on a toe-up sock again...and determined to use up ALL THE YARNZ!!! I worked the sock on my trusty size US 2's and then 3 repeats after the heel, I switched to US size 4's to go over my enormous calf. IT WORKED!!!

OK...yes...I'm the most horrible blogger EVER. But look....my tweed cardi is like 97% finished!!! I finished the sleeve since this pic was taken and it's blocking right now. Just have the small decortive tab to add to the back and buttons and I am D-O-N-E!!! I always forget what an epic challenge it is to knit a sweater for myself...but then always love the results!!

Working on a sweater for myself. It's a free pattern on Rav (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tweed-cardigan-3). I think it's going to look really nice in the end but it is SOOOOO boring right now. ::sigh::
