Not enough hours in the day

I don't knit nearly as much as I want to. I've been working on some presents recently, took a break to work on something for me, the cap sleeve tunic out of speed knitting, which is going to be very funky since I subbed a slightly furry ribbon yarn for the smoother cotton that was called for. I need to get back to the bigger of the many presents currently on the needles. But I think I am going to have to go purchase more yarn for that one, I way underestimated. Carrying small, ribbed in the round projects, like the gaiters I mentioned before, is still going pretty well, it just means I haven't added anything to my dishcloth collection recently, so I hope I don't suddenly need to put together a bunch of gifty things. I am totally behind on a couple of exchanges. I owe this totally wonderful chic Stacy a headband and I am totally going to get it to her even though its monster late. I need to get all the stuff for the Theatrical Crafters exchange and send it off. The mailing deadline is saturday. Eeek. Maybe I can do that tonight. I need to make myself a to do list. I make them at the office, so I guess it wouldn't be totally out of the question to make one to take home. I don't think I'll commit to any more exchanges any time soon, I just get too far behind and then i feel bad about it.

Ok, I guess I should work to support the yarn habit. And all my other new habits. Ben offered to teach me to throw a pot. Pottery has always appealled to me, so that could be very cool. And I've also been thinking more and more about looking into looms.

GIVEAWAY!!!

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. ...
