People suck, but I have the world's most wonderful boyfriend

So on Tuesday while I was working to load-in Neil Diamond, some jerk walked of with my backpack, including my purse and a whole lot of knitting. One thing was a baby gift I was rushing to finish for a shower that in just over a week. The other things were Christmas presents. I was more mad about the knitting than anything else. I was really hoping they would just take the wallet or purse and ditch the bag full of yarn and needles and knitting books. They really don't need or probably even want my yarn. Jerk.

So anyway, while I was at my office yesterday my really wonderful boyfriend went to Loops and bought everything he could remember and identify from my backpack so I could start the baby gift again and have the christmas present yarn. And then he got me a gift card to get the needles and other little things he couldn't be sure of. He even found the book I was using for the baby pattern. Ben is wonderfulawesomeamazingspectacular!

So I have a lot of knitting ahead of me, some of it a bit tedious, I will admit, but I have the comfort of knowing that I have a wonderful man who understands me and supports me and cares about my obsessive hobby and my mental health. And who is brave enough to walk into a yarn store alone.

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. ...

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round.

Production Day & Giveaway!

There is less than a week until the Arkansas Fiber Arts Extravaganza. Even though my stitch markers didn't move well at Indie Emporium, I have high hopes for them this coming weekend. This audience will be completely different, for starters. This time it is a fiber specific event and the people who are coming should actually know what they are! Despite not being very down in inventory, I decided to have a production day to add variety to my stock. It started out as me thinking, oh I'll just make a few today while I have some time. Then I got going and decided I was having fun, so why not have some Chai and make some more. Riley helped by pushing me off the sofa more than once. Ripley did too, but I didn't catch a picture of him doing it. By mid afternoon I had opened new beads, fixed myself a tray of grapes and cheese, finished off the chai and was grooving at a pretty good pace. By the time I needed to get up and get going for my evening plans I had made 15 new sets,...
