I'm done! All of my wedding knitting for my brother's fiance is done and my deadlines are over and done and now I can knit WHATEVER THE HELL I WANT! So what did I do all yesterday afternoon? Housework. I didn't manage to sit down and knit even one damn stitch after Ben and I got home from the wedding shower. We did, however plant azaleas in the front flower bed and white and purple heather under the kitchen windows and a dwarf burning bush between the house and the ugly utility meters and onions and lettuce in the garden. It all looks very nice, so I am not sorry we did all that. I'm not sorry we did any particular bit of the housework either, its just where did all the time go? Somewhere between the mountain of dishes and the laundry and bathing the dogs and making the bed and cleaning the bathroom and finally fixing a very late dinner at 9, the day just got away from me. So I guess I will have to wait until tonight to explore my new found knitting freedom. What do I want to knit? Do I want to work on a project already in progress? Start something new? Do I want to begin a long project or go for some instant gratification first? So many possibilities!
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. ...
