With the Brain Hat done and the Sack Fingerless gloves in The Netherlands, I've started several other projects to occupy my time with. Some of them, I've already finished. Sorry I don't have pictures yet. The yarn includes Jagger Spun Super Lamb for another pair of present-fingerless-gloves and Jagger Spun The Maine Line for the Whiskey Felted Cap from Boutique Knits.
I love Boutique Knits. There are so many pretty things in there. I wish my style (and build) were more like a 20s debutante so I could pull more of it off.
The yarn I ordered for the Fizzlybear Sweater came in today. It's goregeous! I started with the sleeve, and it's knitting up CRAZY FAST. I'm a knitting demon with these enormous needles, I am.
Also, now that CastleFibers is back from her SCA event, she taught me how to do the toe on the Socks for the Mother-in-Law. There's a story behind those socks, which I'll tell later.
So many projects. I'd rather be knitting right now.
OH! Secret Project is done, but due to secrecy, I can't show you. BWAHAHA!

Booties are Done!
I just finished the last bootie while sitting at C. R. Yarns this morning. I wish I'd have my camera on me then, but because I had to wait until I got home to my camera, you get "knitting on bed" pictures.
And, because I put knitting the bed and expressed interest in it, Livvy decided that she needed to be on the bed for me to express interest in her.
These booties (and my puppy dog) are far too adorable. I have the gloves almost finished, so I shall post pictures when I have the second one all seamed up.

Crashing the Champagne Bottle Against the Bow...then Taking a Drink
I decided I needed a knitting blog.
Then I realized that I had a blog for writing, and that I seldom used the "journal" function on the visual art sites I'm a member of.
Yesterday I realized that my creativity comes in cyclical spurts. Some days I can write. Some days I can knit. Some days I can draw. Rarely if ever can I find success in all three of these hobbies on the same day - hence the name of this blog.
My first blog post is a bit of a celebration. After what has now been weeks of struggling, cursing, and frogging, I finally got the thumb on a pair of Knucks I'm knitting for a friend of mine.
Now that I know how to do it and have successfully done it, the second glove should go much faster. These have been fun, but it will be even more fun when I can say I finished them and get them shipped off to her across the wide ocean.
Wheee!
