Getting ready to take the Plunge

Needles poised, time set aside, first pair chosen, yarn wound,and ready to go. Tonight begins the 52 Pair Plunge. I (along with a multitude of other knitters) am going to attempt to knit a pair of socks a week all year. I'm adding a Flicker to the sidebar so that you can see what I've accomplished . Wish me luck

New obsession alert

It's not my fault, really. I've discovered temari. If you haven't tried it, you should:

















it's embroidery on a sphere. first you mark the geometry of the sphere, separating it into sections, then you begin stitching.

What I've been up to (photo intense)

Well, first there was the Yarn Harlot's visit to PDX. I participated in the scavenger hunt:













I saw my friend TJ there. Yes, that's me in the picture, sporting my newly finished sweater. The colored stripes are leftover sock yarn. I figure the sweater will always match my socks. Wait until you see the next incarnation of this theme.










Of course, there is always the obligatory sock knitting. I'm up to about a pair a week now. I've committed to the 52 pair plunge, so watch for one pair a week for a year starting in June.










I found a t-shirt with my new identity.
















And this week, Birthday Yarn. It's Birthday Week here at Snuzzleheim. Both of our days are this week, so we celebrate for a week. We only do that which is neccessary to sustain ourselves. And we get gifts. I got yarn. Yes, it's hot pink, get over it. I wear pink, somtimes, occaisionally. Okay, so this will totally clash with anything I own. SCORE.

Tonight I start knitting pasties....

New Blog - New Day

Well, blogspot won't let me on my previous blog: stringattack, because I moved and my old email address is dead. So I'll try again. For old posts go to stringattack.blogspot.com.
