I have been knitting socks. ...a pair of socks.A cute pink pair of trekking xl in the Knitty Muscari pattern. They are cute, quick, and really fun to knit.I don't know what my surge in knitting has been. I don't know if I am just really excited about sock summit and think I must catch up on all things knitterly. There are so many things on my knitting bench.I hope to shares some pictures this

I went to my first knit night in almost 5 years.It was great. I got a little lost but it was warm cozy and friendly once I made it inside. I knit on my opal sleeves. (think arm warmers with no thumb). The meet up was at Wynona studio which is a fun eclectic place. There is fiber love in there air. Lots of reclaimed yarn and local studio yarns. They have classes on all sorts of fiber activities.I

Long looong ago I kept a knit journal. From the good to the bad.Today I still have the good and bad. The finished and the cast aside. I just have not got to the journal.I have been knitting arm warmers, arm sleeves, and socks.I also finished my very first garment. A baby sweater from KiraKDesigns. It is cute and small.. . . So very soft and lavender. The only small part left to do is graft the

New fun markers in my shop. This set is Lizzy, or Elizabeth Bennett. I picked the colors of the pearls at the last gem show I went to. I Made a Jane and Kitty set as well. Only now am I realizing that Kitty is really Lydia and I have made an error. AHHHHH. I wonder who will notice? I will fix it but maybe I will leave it up for a week and see if some one tells me. You never know. A view of my

Just a little of what I have been spinning up. The colors do not look as great in my picture as they do on the wheel. I have about 120 yards. I am not sure what I am going to make. The color fades from great greens to lush purples and velvety blue.

I am on a kick to find the perfect sock yarn. What does it need?It needs to be be in shades of green and gray and it needs to stripe.Why these colors? It is all because of Studiorent's beads. I have some and they really are quite lovely. But this set of beads is setting me in a spin. If you know where I can find this colorway please let me know. I am in a desperate search....and I am not

I just like the picture and the necklace looks good on everyone. I also have at least five sets of my new stitch markers to take pictures of and list. Two holiday shows to apply for.

Fall is here again. The trees out side my house are no longer green but yellow. YELLOW. When did that happen? It seems way to early for trees to become naked.One of the many great things about Fall is Halloween. Sonny has Halloweened the house already. There are witches, pumpkins, and black cats adorning walls all over the house. Makes me want to knit a black spider web....I wonder if there is a

A Sale on Surprises! A Surprise set of stitch markers.Just a fun surprise to treat yourself or a friend with. It will come in a cute little paper box and be either sized 13 and under, 8 and under, or sock sized. Just a random set of 5 off my works in progress shelf. Could be glass, stone, crystal, vintage and it will always be fabulous.

Changing things up a little.Silver ink on black paper.I like it. The stamping part is a little messy but not as bad a glue. Glue is my enemy. My previous cards were white with pink. I liked them but I think I like this better. I might not have chosen this time to start a change but I can't get the pink cards anymore. This is tray one of four or five.Earrings make me happy. They are perfect just

Start with a square. I am using a 12x12 inch piece of paper for the top. It will turn out the same size as the big green box above.Lightly draw lines from corner to corner. (Make a big x)Fold the tip of the square to the center of the x. Do this on all four corners.Next with the square tip at the center of the x fold the flat edge to the flat line from the x.

With Love Originally uploaded by Miss Purl. What dreams are made of.Fairy tales and picnic benches. We went to the beach a couple weeks ago and took the Roo with us. He had a fabulous time....as did we. This is a rest stop we took a mini break at on the way home. For a rest stop it was quite lovely. There was a creek, water fall, and so many pretty trees.I could totally take a day trip

Blurry Originally uploaded by Miss Purl. I knit on my sock during this craft show.Next one is soon and I will be happy to be outside and around more people I know. Plus my table is bigger and I feel better a little streched out.I may even put out some of my handspun yarns...I have aquired a huge basket of it. But how do you price such a thing? What about the not quite perfect yarns?I love

Not much got done on the sock yesterday. That is Trekking XXL yarn in a very pleasing color. I think of it as Rhasberry pie.The yarn knot was yucky. It may have involved scissors.Knit on.

Beach07 427 Originally uploaded by Miss Purl. So to get back on track and enough mail room woes. I have made some fun key chains with my lampwork beads and icord. They are fun. I am not sure what I am going to do with them but I have enjoyed making little i cords on sock needles. it takes no thinking and no purling...which is odd. I love hwo there is a ladder then you just pull and it

Every feel knottyOriginally uploaded by Miss Purl. This knotty piece of wood is how I feel today. My stomach is all knotted....not because I am ill. But I am sick of my Mail going wonky. I think I have angered some postal God.The post office is eating my mail. No not the nice calm mail that comes to my home that makes it. But the mail I send to other people is not getting there. Not in the normal

I am not normally upset at the mail. BUT I AM. I have mailed hundreds of things over the last couple years. Some far some near but never have I had as much trouble getting things where then need to go as I have in the last month.I am going to take a deep breath and hold it. Do a few ooooOOoooOoommhhhs and relax. I need a Pneumatic tube system like we have in the hospital. Just plop it in and ship

pink heart6 Originally uploaded by Miss Purl. Pink has been my color for the last couple weeks. I have made pink lampwork beads and pink i cord snakes. I have also been spinning in shades of deep deep pink with flashes of purple. Its adult mohair but I really like it and it is quite soft.These beads are not made by me but I love them. The bottoms remind me of daisy flowers all smiling

I had a little fun making a pretty list of green things. I saw the pea pod earrings on the person who makes the mini mobile. They are seriously cute. Green has been my color of choice recently. I have been knitting on an afghan and surprise it is green. I don't know if it has to do with all the lovely green that is popping up here or if I just like green.Knit happy!
