I GOT MY LAPTOP BACK!!!

*cough* Let’s see if I can post more than I have been.

As you can see, the site has had a re-design. I got really tired of the old one. I can’t thank the wonderful Joy enough for doing the banner for me.  She’s really mult-talented. She did the banner over at the wishcrafts blog too.

I finished something!!

Roza’s Socks from Spring IK. All Thing’s Heather yarn in the “Wicked” colorway. Size 1 dpns.  I finished these on our trip to Austin last weekend. The photo was taken in the car at a gas station in Waco.  I like these socks and the yarn… OH EM GEE.. too soft, and a lot of it too.

I had that much leftover. I think you could get some footies out of it. I’m going to give it to BikerChick and see what she can do with it.

Oh yeah..cakes…

We passed! We done graditated. You notice Carmen was so excited she wrote “Yay!” on the top of hers. We had to parade through the store ( Hobby Lobby) and show off our cakes at the end of the class and that wasn’t so fun, but I enjoyed the rest of the class.

A friend of mine and her husband just got custody of his teenage son, and she has to clean out her craft room to make him a bedroom, and that means that I’m getting a LOOOOM!

LOOM!!!!

It’s a 36″ 4 harness Harrisville loom. I pick it up on Wednesday. I’m so excited!

We have been working on the house and have pulled up a lot of carpet and laying down tile. I have 1/2 of the living room done now and this weekend we are going to pull up the rest and finish the tile. I’m getting rid of two computer desks and that’s where I’ll put the loom and my fiber stash and wheel. I’ll take some photos when I get it all done and straightened up.

Oh..and I think Fiona has a problem.

She’s addicted to STR yarn. (STR lightweight in Puck’s Mischief) I have since cast on with this yarn for the Charade socks.  Sorry, no photo yet, but I’m lovin the yarn and the pattern. There’s a knit-along over on Ravelry, so if you’re a member, go on and sign up. There’s also a Flickr group if you’re not on Ravelry yet.

More later…hopefully spinning and loom and other good news.
