Getting Organized

Thanks to our snowy sunday I was able to move my yarn room to it's final resting place......spare bedroom number three. These are the only two pictures I am willing to show at the moment. Why? Because they look pretty and will trick you into thinking I am a very organized yarn person. SUCKER!!! Oh if you only knew what spare bedroom number one looks like. Let's just say it looks like a yarn shop exploded in there. I am not brave enough to show you any pictures of it. However for the right price my husband would probably give guided tours and beg you to take samples. Don't even think about it.

Let It Snow!

Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!










We woke up to some white stuff falling from the sky. About an hour later it was really coming down. I have no idea how much we are supposed to get but I am crossing my fingers for a snow day tomorrow. Hey one can wish! I have my snowy Sunday uniform on......jammies. The fireplace will be turned on. The coffee pot is brewing away. Oh yes and let's not forget the most important thing......KNITTING!!! Lots and lots of knitting.

Knitmare on Elm Street

So yesterday I mentioned receiving two packages. I never told you what was in the second package. Someone sent me a link to this last week and I knew I had to have it. This is some delicious fabric by Michael Miller. The name of it is Knitmare on Elm Street. I am not sure what I am going to do with it......but it will be fabulous!!

Spoiled Rotten

I came home from work today and there were two packages waiting for me. It's always fun to come home to goodies at the door.

One of the packages was from my FiberFlix partner Jennifer aka Craftylilly. I could barely contain myself as I ripped open the package.


She totally SPOILED ME!!!!



Inside the package was a perfect size (and color) tote bag. I love the Sugar Pops card. The fabulous goodies inside the tote bag have the perfect makings for a scary movie knit night. Yahoooooo!!! OK let's start off with the movie: One of my very favorite movies of all time......Friday the 13th. This was the classic movie that made you afraid to go to sleep away camp thanks to my man Jason Voorhees. No movie night would be complete without some snacks......Jujyfruits and Raisinets. YUM!!!! Ah yes, I see you looking at my new yarn. This my friends is some awesome sock yarn from the etsy shop of Razzy Tazzy. The name of the colorway..........Jack Lantern. LOVES IT!!!



Last but not least.....I got some AWESOME stitch markers.
Jennifer made them. I am in awe.
I can't wait to use them....they are perfect!!!


THANK YOU JENNIFER!!!!

Knitting Behind The Wheel

Well here is the proof that I do sit in my car and knit through my lunch hour. I am not sure what I am going to do when it is the dead of winter. I suppose I could be a die hard and sit in my car with the heat cranked. Nah!!! I'm a big baby. I'll find somewhere else to sit and knit in peace for 30 minutes.


I got the Foo Fighters cranked up on the stereo and I am working my hardest at getting the turtleneck/shrug done.


I did cast on for the Halloween Mystery Shawl because I am three weeks behind on that. So I need to haul some major ass on that.
