My Knitter's Need List

Some things on my wish list.


Fancy buttons.

These are from an Etsy shop called InfiniteCosmosGirl She has some lovely glass work in a variety of styles .... But the buttons have my heart.

I love the idea of putting hand made buttons on my hand knit treasure.


Second on my knitter's need list is a lovely pendant.

Each pendant is like wearing a mini painting around your neck. I like the idea of unwinding my winter scarf to show off a unique piece of jewelry.

These are from an Etsy Seller named leakarts. She happens to be a friend and very talented artist.

Third on my List is some 'o' so lovely yarn.

This yarn has real silver in it and that

makes me wonder about it. Real Silver shines so making me think of this yarn as having star quality.

This yarn is from paintedskeins who I have purchased some lovely roving from. She has great taste and spins wonderful yarns as well.

Lastly a MissPurl update.



New to the shop some amber resin stitch markers.

It has been a while since I was excited to offer something new. These are very light weight and make a very cute sound when you knock them together.

I enjoy them greatly.

Happy knitting and I hope everyone has a great week.

I am packing up and heading to NY.

A little nervous and jittery now that is 14 days away.

SO have you been to NY? What do I need to see while I am there?

Which Knit shops should I lurk in?

Sigh. This is going to be fun.

Roo

Roo is still wearing his cone and his bootie.

He is not very happy about it and would rather go and play. Stevie trying to run, jump, and fetch being blind is hard enough. Add bootie and collar and its really hard not to laugh. My blind dog is walking around with what looks like a swimming flipper. It kind of makes that sound to.

He is getting away with murder as his injury does not allow for much play time. When he went in the docs the other day he had lost 8 pounds...I am sure with the cookie quota this last week it is no longer 8 lost.

In Other news. Socks are becoming socks. Just getting started for the toe. Then to pick a cuff style. I was thinking something with nubbs because they are fun to knit. But maybe something less 3d.

Either way once this pair of socks is off the needles I have the next set lined up. More cute trekking yarn. I don't know why I heart it so . . . but I do.
