FO's, FO's, FO's

Nimbus
Free pattern from Berroco. It was a quick knit. I used 12 balls of Lion Brand Lanscapes...I couldn't resist at $2 bucks a ball. I've already worn the jacket a couple of times. My only regret is that I didn't make it long and it is a bit wide for my 5' 3" frame. My mods: I did make the sleeves longer. These are at my elbow. And I have 2 button holes instead of one.



Baby February Sweater- Elizabeth Zimmermann


Modeled by Ms Diva aka Mochahantas


I used a partial skein of yarns from Interlacements. Mods, just added more buttons at center front. I also did the sleeves in the round so there'd be nothing to sew up when I was finish. I love the colors, I love the sweater, I would definitely do more in the future

Coming out of the closet

After see the many postings of stashes on Ravelry and gasping...
I decided to ... well come out. No way could it be as bad as those others.

The painful journey...



Denial...
where did all this come from?
I still have this?
those are recycled yarn boxes, there isn't anymore.
didn't I give away 6 garbage bags on Freecycle?




Anger...
so what...this coulda been beer bottles!
at least I'm home at nights!
who is this hurting!
why the #$#%^ is this tangle up?
Who left the window open? I don't want any freakin' moths in here!
what are you staring at?


Acceptance...(justification really)
some people collect stamps...I like things of a fibery content.
you can't make anything outta baseball cards.
this hobby gives and gives... when I pet it, and when I make something, and when I give it away, and...
isn't just so pretty.
honestly, there are worst things I could be doing.
i'm an artiste, this is my palette of inspiration.


What you have witness is only 1/3 of the madness I call my stash. Can I knit in therapy?
