Finally using Renegade Craft Fair yarn

At Austin Renegade I bought Vicki Howell's book and got a skein of yarn from Caron. I finally am using it to create a scarf for my best friend. It is acrylic/merino wool blend and so super soft. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift, but she understands that with the last weeks of school and certification testing that I ran our of time. She loves the color and can't wait for me to finally finish it. I will try to remember to post a picture when I'm done.

What I'm reading

I borrowed a copy of Crazy Aunt Purl's Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair.  It is better than I expected. I don't knit but I can relate to trying to reinvent your life over and over again. It is an easy read and I have trouble putting it down each time. I can't wait to read her other book.

New Yarn

Finally got my yarn from Herrschners. I now know why the Comfy Fleece was only 99 cents. I am bad at estimating how much yarn is in a skein and 44 yards is small. Oh well, I can always order more. ;)

Baby hats



For my co-worker who is due on valentines day

Loom Knitting!

I borrowed a loom from my sister and fell in love with it. I bought the set of round and the set of long looms. I made all my christmas gifts for people at work. So far I have only made hats and scarfs but I found patterns for other stuff too.
