Miracle Sweater: Her Yarn Runneth Over

Listen To Episode 12 Here!

ON MY NEEDLES:

My beautiful CeCe sweater!  Thank you Knitmore Girls for suggesting I knit along with you.  I love it more every day! 

And this is the yarn I had left.  Hee hee, don't you just love miracles?


These are the Tardis Socks my sister has asked me to knit for her.  I think I like this link better.  She won't know the difference.

Hong Kong Garden sweater.  Stay tuned for the saga!

My Spiraluscious (not Spiralicious-duh!) The pic is not up close for a reason - lol

ANGELINA KNITS!!

Her first project...A mattress for her doll (she's already lost one of her needles  - a true knitter).

Her second project...A scarf!  Yes, she is changing colors!

So proud!



I enjoyed my visit to The Yarn Circle.  Perhaps next time, I'll get to meet Martha, co-owner of the shop and owner of "Opal" who produced this lovely Corriedale fleece.

for their generous donations over the last 2 weeks while we were off.  Your generosity was so much appreciated and helped to pay for a new mic for the podcast!  The rest will go to pay for production costs.  We are so blessed to have listeners like you!

TRADING POST:
All trades for the red child's sweater are now closed.  We are now accepting trades for the Corona 1500 Knitting Machine!

This appears to be in working order although I will test it out when it arrives to be sure. It is missing the tools (aka weights, transfer tool, etc) but these are easily attainable.  It does include the owner's manual which is key!

Please submit your trades via email at theknitwits@comcast.net or via Ravelry to Thriftyknitter

IN OUR WINEGLASS:
Hess Select Chardonnay - Monterey 2008   Monterey's cooling fog and coastal breezes create an ideal climate for growing this crisp and refreshing Chardonnay, with vibrant tropical fruit flavors of pineapple, green apple and melon.

Thank you for listening!  You're awesome!!

Buy Yams, I Said!

Listen to Episode 11 Here!

If you watch Knitting Daily TV, you may have seen the Colorful Cropped Overlay.  My version turned into the Ugly Poncho.

If anyone wishes to have their beloved pet's fur spun into yarn, here is the website for VIP Fibers

My Hong Kong Garden sweater is coming right along.  Hope I don't run out of the Ugly Brown Beast.

Please check out the beautiful patterns from Sarah Montie  Such lovely things and such a nice person.

So the word I could NOT think of was REDEEM.  But you all know that since you played along with Password.

My Ultimate Sweater Machine has served me well but I will continue to be on the lookout for a "real" knitting machine to REDEEM my relationship with  my mother in law.

Anyone want to join me in knitting some blanket squares with yarn from Land's End for Warm Up America?  They have given out all their yarn but you are welcome to some of mine.

IN OUR WINEGLASS:

I hope you all will get a chance to try my FAVORITE wine Au Bon Climat Chardonnay.
I wish I had a description for you but just trust me.  It's GOOD!

The Carolina Fiber Frolic in Charlston, SC on February 24-27, 2011 sounds like a wonderful event.  I hope you'll check it out!

Thank you to all of our listeners and if you wish, feel free to put something in the tip jar.
To those of you who have already donated, our sincerest gratitude!  We are humbled.

We love you guys!!

He's Out of My Life

Listen To Show #10 Here!

The Stocking is out of my life...for now!  This picture was taken before steam blocking.  I failed to take one afterwards as I was so anxious to get it to it's owner before something unforeseen happened.  Fortunately (for you), I have two more chances to show you.

ON MY NEEDLES:












My Zipper Sock - decreasing the gusset stitches and loving this pattern!

Hong Kong Garden Sweater - Really excited how this is turning out!  Alot of knitting left but very mindless!

CeCe Cardigan I'm doing as part of the Knitmore Girls KAL   This is a enjoyable knit which uses a good portion of your brain without making you crazy.  Sorry but I tried every angle and just couldn't make this sweater look attractive in the picture.  It's much prettier in person.

My little lion and sweet alligator on Halloween.



Congratulation Gail (Cottontail on Ravelry) for winning the Name the Pirate contest with your submission "Knit Knickers" Nick.  I hope you enjoyed your "yarn"!!

ON MY WHEEL:

My sweet Polly Pocket Wheel is getting her final touches and will be on her way to me soon!!  I can't wait to meet her!

IN OUR WINEGLASS:

Nugan Estate Vision Riverina Chardonnay   Fresh aromas of peach and melon layered with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanillin spice.
This one didn't thrill us but it was priced right.  Under $10

TRADING POST:

Up for trade - Child's size 6 raglan pullover sweater, handknit in Valley Yarns Northampton Bulky yarn.  The sweater is nearly complete and the owner of the sweater has located the extra yarn and is sending it to me.  So the sweater will come with enough yarn to complete it.  The sweater is knit from Ann Budd's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns on size 11 needles.

We will be accepting trades for the next couple of weeks so get your trades in.  If you leave a trade in the comments section below, please do include your email.

Thanks for listening!!
