knitting again

And not just No Sheep swatches, either. Whee! I'm doing a lace thingy for the 2nd Big Girls book and I pulled out the yarn [hint] and started swatching. Found the perfect pattern on the 2nd try. I love that.

I also had to remind myself, once again, that it's okay to use stitch markers for a 6-stitch repeat. Some people don't need 'em. Not me, and it's...okay. Stitch markers are not a crutch, they're an enabler.

The office purge/tidy continues and will for several days at least. There's just too much to get through on my own, all at once, without Hellen Buttigieg and her crew. I wonder how much a professional organizer charges? Instead, I watch her show, suck up a little inspiration and then go attack.

Also, viva Italia! That is all.

I love Sea Silk. I bought some on a recent vacation in Nova Scotia and now I wish I had bought every single skein I saw. Of course, I would no longer have anywhere to live, nor food to eat, but that yarn smells so divine, it just might be worth it. I love the choice.

I can't believe I've missed this blog for so long. I was a bit surprised by the summer issue but no I really love it. I think of it as a neat xmas present list for all my friends and relations. Thanks for all the hard work and good luck in your new job. (Are you sure the dress code doesn't demand hand knitted socks?)

Oh, I love Hellen! TiVo has been recording her faithfully since I discovered her show. I do love me some TiVo.

And reading your blog has helped me out in trying to figure out yarns to use to make a scarf for a friend who's allergic to wool. Thank you!
