Copycat and Pretty Dog


May 7, 2007



I saved the fast-topic-changing-Friday for Monday.

For safety purposes, keep your head and arms inside The Mixer at all times.
 
 
Chris went to San Antonio for Cinco de Mayo and all I got was this lousy photo.

Really, the camera crapped out on him and this is the only shot he could take.

Can't you just smell the tacos and margaritas?


Next...!
Because I'm a total copycat...

Laura flashed some beautiful stitch markers in front of me, and they were pink and sweet and I had to have some of my own.

I have never owned pretty stitch markers. I never wanted to fuss with anything that wasn't a simple "o". Nothing hanging down to snag. No fancy yarn-shaped beads to get tangled in a cable. These are perfect.

The shop is Entrelac Stitch Markers, and she has a bazillion colors. Everything is beautiful and totally reasonably priced.

So much for me making fun of people with secret projects.

My current project is secret, but I can share the yarn. Louisa Harding Grace. Half merino, half silk. A luxury to work with - just keep a nail file handy. Smooth nails and cuticles are necessary for this yarn.

Good excuse to go get a mani.


Next...!
One thing I've never kept a secret is my love for Baby Ull yarn. It was brought to my attention that I could actually drive to see this yarn in person, instead of just ordering it online. I squealed, then made plans for a roadtrip with Drew up to Twisted Yarns in Spring, Texas.

You must understand something. Houston is a massive, sprawling city, and I make it a point to stick to the three square miles around my house. Spring is about 25 miles away, but totally worth it. What a fantastic yarn shop. Folks up north have it good.

It begs the question - just how far WOULD I drive to see more Baby Ull colors? Norway, perhaps?


Next...!
I know I'm biased, but man...we've got some pretty dogs.


Whoops! Late-breaking news...Ann in Norway asked if she could use a photo of Ike for her post on sock knitting. I wish I could read Norwegian.
