OMFG!!!

MY FIRST SOCK IS FORMING. i twisted it once, knit with the wrong string, dropped stitches, picked them up again . . . that would be my experience so far.

BUT I LOVE THIS SOCK YARN!!!

I'm planning on only making ankle socks but with one lace stripe right up the middle . . . cross your fingers! i hope it comes out right.

i don't know if that was a bright idea at all, but i did try lace on my first ever sock and my biggest attempt on pearling . . . first week of knitting??? yup, i'm screwed...

Cleaning Accident

While Cleaning My Fish Tank . . . i was cleaing out the inside if a 1" tube and my hand slipped and jerked inwards inside the tube and, yes . . . it almost skinned my hand. Sorry for so many bloody pics but i am, sadly, very mean to my skin.

I recieved a GIANT bag of yarn from my aunt who also crochets but she didn't want this yarns anymore but i wound them all into balls. these are some of the ones that i took while winding but i didn't take pics of all of them.

Fabulous Fiber Fest 2007!!!

August 17th, 2007 - The Fiber Fest in Santa Monica, CA.

This was actualy my first visit to any gathering of crafters; showing off their stuff and selling their wares. Out front they had several animals on display; Alpacas, Angora Bunnies and Chincillas. i instantly fell in love with the rabbits.
	Inside there were SEVERAL different booths set up all over the auditorium floor. The one i got stuck inside of, of course, was Lisa Souza. I bought 4oz/375yds of Super Sport 100% superwash merino in the color "Poiple" for $16. This is a pic with the casted on swatch for my first ever socks.
	I also bought 7 oz/432yds of worsted Malabrigo in the color "Indigo". for $21.
