Leave the Bottle
Friday, January 18th, 2008Welcome to fast-topic-changing-Friday Island.
While I was drunk with power and in charge of The Knitting Nest (and having crazy sales that involved extra discounts on pink yarn), Stacy was at TNNA in California buying new stuff for the store, driving around in a convertible, and getting a tan.
It was a win-win.
Stacy also brought me some presents. Here are a couple of new things that I found especially exciting…

Like this.
This is a new idea in sock yarn, called Flat Feet. The yarn was dyed while it was knit up into this piece of fabric, which makes for unique color patterns when it’s knit into socks. You’re supposed to unravel this as you knit, so there’s no need to wind it into a ball. Pretty cool idea. These will be available (in all different colors) at The Knitting Nest sometime soon. |

Stacy also brought me back this vibrant hank of Trekking hand-dyed sock yarn. The colors are seriously “WOW”.
I can’t wait to see what other colors she ordered. Stacy gave these to me before she even knew about the tragic heel blowout. Very nice, but OMG! I have stash all of a sudden! Next…! |

Knits in the wild!
It’s still a little big, but here’s Molly Renee modeling the EastEnders Baby Sweater that I knit for her. We find this child to be pretty adorable. Next…! |

Oh yeah, ha ha.
It was cute when Abe schlepped my bathroom rug outside. It was less cute when he tore up an important paper shortly after that. It was even less cute when I found The Chartreuse Monster (my current knitting project) on my bedroom floor… |
 |
…And even LESS cute when he ate my cell phone the other day.
Not sure what’s going on here, but if I start drinking whiskey in the mornings, you’ll know why. Please be sure to notice camouflaged Ike in this photo. He appears to be smiling. Have a great weekend! |
