"Ripped" leads to "frogged" in most cases. And the fine folks at Ravelry were selling these fine shot glasses at Stitches West. nice, hu?? The other 2 pics are of some silk caps I acquired while at Stitches.. cost: $4.50 each...now to read up on spinning with silk caps - I've never done this before, so it should be interesting.
One of the demos that Julie and I went to was by a very nice lady, whose name I have forgotten just now, but here is what she wanted us to leave with: step outside your comfort zone. She was sharing some swatches she had done using a half linen stitch using 2 colors she would never normally either 1. knit with or 2. would not normally use together. Take for example, my assistant's new purse - it's a lovely orange, but the top stitching is PURPLE. Who'd-a-thunk-it?? So now, I am on a mission to find orange and purple sock yarn and knit her a pair of socks! (she has actually asked me to knit her stuff - so she's either a total suck up, or smart - or perhaps both - LOL....Anyway - Stitches West was fun and I have more goodies to post about - but I'll do it in snippits..I am casting on some baby booties in a very cable-y pattern, which keeps kicking me in the arse, so, i did a k1p2 rib for about 3 rows, switched to knit and turned the heal last night, but now my 2 circs are all screwed up and I have to re-adjust so my decreases don't end up in the middle of the instep and the center of the heal... that would be a classic me mistake.....OK, Army boy is on the phone with pops - i need to listen in... i think he is frustrated that he is in limbo and not yet shipped out to some sort of training thing... the army way...
