Ravelry and other things

I've spent seriously the whole day on Ravelry, but I have all of my projects and stash up there. Go check out my page!

In uploading my projects, I reliaze how many of my blog posts mention Lizard Ridge. Before too long it'll be over. Except, I'm thinking of backing it, which will take a little while, but the tutorial here is really good.

Interestingly, The Yarn Harlot's books aren't in the Ravelry database yet, which amuses me.

I must be insane, by the way. I signed up for the Ravelry Summer Camp swap. The package goes out end of August, which is after my LJ swap is over. But still. I'm nuts.

Plane knitting will be two things from my LJ secret pal (in case of confiscation)

Either knitty's toe-up sock pattern in this:



Or a headband in this:


I've changed my mind on what yarn to use for Wicked, since the cashmerino is pretty warm. I'm thinking now that I'll use Malabrigo or Artyarns, even though they're not machine washable. they're just so pretty.

Anyway, packing and stuff must happen, so that's about it until I hop across the pond.

Love you all!!

Weaving Tales

Is it odd that I suddenly find myself encompassed with the desire to learn how to spin, dye and weave along with my knitting? Something about creating more things with fibers just appeals to me immensely. I think I may make that part of this summer's endeavors.

My socks are coming along, they should be done by Thursday. I'd say Wednesday, but I'm having minor eye surgery tomorrow and I may also have to frog the cuff of the left sock and kint it with larger needles.

My wonderful swap partner from the LJ Swap 4 sent me the pattern for Wicked so I've spent a lot of today browsing for yarn online. I'm thinking Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran in the color Wine. Any thoughts?

Not much else for today; pictures when the socks-that-may-actually-be-wearable are done!
