my life in stitches

thanks - giving

happy thanksgiving!! i had my non-traditional thanksgiving dinner (no turkey for me) last night. today, i'm hanging around working on various projects and watching a Gavin and Stacey marathon on BBC America. i'd like to send a heartfelt thanks out to Angela of True Love Fiber, who gifted me with an absolutely gorgeous skein of her hand-dyed, merino sock yarn. i'm crazy about this color, One Stick. i'm down to my last pair of handknit socks, shown here in the photo. it taks me forever and a day to finish a pair of socks. i'm pretty certain that i've had the current pair on my needles for 2 years or more. lame, i know. i probably have enough sock yarn in my stash for 7 or 8 pairs. oy. i need to get knitting. i try to knit sock yarn in the order that it is received/purchased, but this is one is so gorgeous i think i'll let it jump the queue. now if i can only manage to finish the pair i'm working on now...

lorna's poppy

awfully quiet around here, huh? i am knitting. a lot actually. i just can't seem to get motivated to blog about it. i'm happily knitting along on Rosa. and i'm attempting to create some pieces for my new etsy shop. oh. and i got sucked in by YA vampire crack. in the meantime, enjoy Lorna's lovely Poppy. this design is from my book Yarnplay.
