check out Jeepgirl

SweetyHeart Yarns

Go check her out. This is a really good friend of mine. She combines two of our families hobbies, knitting and Jeeps, into one great package LOL.

Bless her heart, she even tried to show me how to spin yarn.

One of the few I dearly miss in Michigan.

Forest Canopy Shawl

One of my more favorite wenches went and challenged/invited me to knit along on the Forest Canopy Shawl with her. She actually tried softening me up with fancy compliments reflecting on my passion for the convertible I started last spring. I got to giggle wildly as I confessed I am still not done with that bugger.
It was too late to retract her invite though, so she is stuck with me as a buddy on this.
Does it count that I have already cast on one yarn, got 3 repeat sections into it before deciding that I wasn't gonna love the variegation? I ripped it back.

Now I'm going to go with a lovely cherry tree hill sock yarn instead.

At least I think I am. I just realized that both my lace shawls will be in practically the same color. Maybe I should go with the hussy red after all?
Nuts.

Awe somebunny loves me

My girlfriend of a bazillion years went to Italy for Christmas!. Amongst all of that adventure of coolness she still thought of me. Awe.
Look what she brought to me tonight:



Now thats love. Thats a friend you keep forever. She doesn't even knit y'all. Hand carried those balls. *happy sigh*

I want to encourage this behaviour, so am looking for a pattern for them. I want to make something for her....about 50 grams...no yardage and I don't have a yarn meter..any suggestions?

I heart you Val!
