just stuff


stephanie from half baked has a shop called spritely goods where i ordered this great yarn from. go check her out! i cast on for a pair of socks with it a couple days ago. I will decide today if I keep going or frog. I am in debate mode if the pattern is suitable for the yarn (it is a lace pattern). I think it looks a little busy. I was tempted to just go stockinette for this one and i probably should have stuck with my gut, but we'll see!

i also did a little shopping therapy yesterday. i picked up the cutest mug and plate at williams sonoma. for some reason it makes me think about my upcoming trip to paris (and london). i couldn't resist because it had the old fashioned hot chocolate pot on it! (see the mug) you all know how i feel about hot chocolate, yum! it is almost that time of year!

Beautiful sock yarn! I promised that I would remain on a yarn diet, or else I would order some on the spot. I can't wait to see how your socks turn out.

I love your site; I just happened across it one day, and I'm totally addicted. Do you think you will ever do a pom pom tutorial? I know it sounds silly, but yours seem to come out so perfectly round and full. Every time I attempt one, it either falls apart, or I keep trimming until there is nothing left....

OMG! I was just at Stitch N Pitch last night and she was there with a booth. Her yarn is so yummy! I'm saving my pennies. I sent Amanda a link to her site, and then she sent me the link to your blog so I could be well and truly jealous of you.
