Sadly I have more yarn than I can handle right now. I wish I could sit & just knit it all up but then I go to the store (online or LYS) and find more pretty things that I need to have. So I have decided that I will finish a few more of the projects I have going before I start something new. I found a whole bag of the cervinia sorrento grey yarn that I am making George’s sweater out of so I can work on that. Also, Tracy’s mom, Denise, has graciously decided to send me her knitting machine!! AWESOME!! Yay!! Once that is here I will easily be able to whip up some fun items to deplete my yarn stash. THen I will have room for more, teeheehee ;o)

Knitting group was fun last night at Java Station, didn’t get much accomplished other than looking at my new Rowan magazine. I have to say I can’t wait until I have room for some more yarn because wow! There are some fabulous patterns in this issue!

Sorry no pics yet…just trying to unpack & get my house semi clean & organized. Why do trips cause so much chaos & dirt? Laundry is normally not something I mind doing but when it is overflowing out of my 6 baskets ( I am a big separator)  in the laundry room it’s a problem!

Still waiting for my yarn from Hand Painted Yarns. Unfortunately I think they oversold & had to wait for more to be made & sent to the US before I get mine. I love their yarns & have had great contact & service with them before, so I am sure it is a fluke.

Now I must stop dilly dallying & go get some crap done!

Another trip to Disneyland this weekend, leaving today, in about 20 minutes! Yay!!

I have accomplished quite a lot the last couple weeks…pagoda sweatshirt is done, labrador sweater for Sadie is finished, 2 hats with sassy stripes yarn. Unfortunately I ran out of yarn for George’s sweater, have to buy more from smileys yarns. I started a wrap jacket with chocolate bulky wool from Uruwool. Very excited about that!! Saw the jacket at Bebe yesterday in the window, what a fashionista am I?? Also saw a very cute poncho at the gap that I may try to mimic. Didn’t like all the design so I will just adjust to my liking.

Last night I went to the meetup at Muddy Waters, downtown Santa Barbara, and oh boy was it interesting. There was a band there that was trying to make enough money to make it to Burning Man, yeah, that should explain how funky they were! I know a lot of “normal” people that go, or have gone, but these folks didn’t meet the “normal” criteria. More on that when I get back from the Happiest Place on Earth.

Ciao!!

Oh & more pics will be posted of finished & new projects! Bad ass!

Okay so I finished the front of the Pagoda sweatshirt, started the sleeve, ripped it out…twice…didn’t like the style so I changed it. I now have hope that I will finally finish it this weekend! If not tonight! Sleeves are so fast! Yay! Really tired & I must go make coffee…mmmmm
