OK, so I didn't post for like a month. But I have a really, really good excuse. Here it is: I bought a house, painted the house, packed up my junk, moved it to the house, and am now unpacking in the house. Yay for house! Its pretty and its in Jenks and I love it! I painted my kitchen red. Bright red. I must knit some place mats to match either the red kitchen or the blue dishes. The guest bathroom is brown walls with navy and gold sun, moon, & stars stuff, so I must knit some chocolate brown and/or navy washcloths to put in there. The beautiful afghan that my knitting friends in Cali made me decorates the guest bed. :-) My room is tan with burgundy accents. I must knit some burgundy pillow covers for little accent pillows. So much to do! Well, I beter get back to work so I can pay for it all!
As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn. I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn! Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does. That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop! Before the goods, a recap: I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year. I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it. This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn! You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it. Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn! It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic! Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

Congrats on the house. How far are you from work and from your parents'?
I did say washcloths! And of course I would accept any gifts of washcloths you wanted to send, but you all are in no way obligated to send anything. And I want you to know that the cloths everyone gave me as part of my going away present all have places of honor. There is a large stack in my bathroom near the shower so I can grab them easily, and some it the kitchen next to the sink so people can be envious of how I get to wash dishes with the coolest washcloths ever and some in the guest bathroom in a basket with miniature toiletries, in case you or anyone else decides to come visit!
