New Project Bag = New Project

I got a new project bag and of course I had to start a new project to use it!  I need to get a copy of the picture I took of the bag.  It's My Little Pony.  I do have a picture of the project though.


Details here:

Needles:  Size 6 circulars
Yarn:  Pigeonroof Studios Cassiopeia Lace singles in Pale Wisteria
Pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/thoth

I haven't gotten very far since I had to cast on 393 stitches!!  I have all of  Anna Dalvi's books and I finally started to knit one of the patterns from her book.  This pattern is from Ancient Egypt in Lace and Color.


Here is my My Little Pony bag!

Same Old Same Old

I'm still working on washing all my handspun yarn.  I had a big bag and probably have 2 more washes to do.  I do about 6 yarns at one time so that is about 24 skeins to wash.  I haven't taken on any more new projects because I have SO many WIP that I need to finish.  I have a couple of Christmas gifts and would love to finish this shark scarf so hubby can wear it this fall/winter.



Needle: Size 4 Circular
Yarn:  Cascade Yarns Heritage Solids and Quatro Colors in Steel and Marine
Pattern:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/save-the-sharks-argyle-scarf

I'm almost done these socks for hubby too.  Good thing he doesn't like long cuffs (not like my Father-In-Laws 7" of cuff Christmas socks).

Google Chrome Is The Answer

Well, when I run into a problem Internet wise I usually Google it.  I looked on the help forums on Blogger and someone suggested that I change to Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer.  It worked.  For some reason Internet Explorer and loading pictures on Blogger don't play nice.  Here is the handspun yarn I have to wash.  I try to wash them in groups so if the dye comes off it won't dye the yarn a different color.  I got about 6 washed and a bunch more to go!


Windows 10

I just upgraded and a like most of it so far.  At least I didn't lose the old Microsoft stuff I like to keep.  The Microsoft Work Calendar is great at letting you set appointments on a lot of setting which Google calendar doesn't.  Besides I don't want my Google calendar covered with my reminders to exercise every day.  Anyway,  I haven't posted on either of my blogs for a while since I can't figure out why I can't post pictures on Blogger.  I don't really like posts with just words but here is one for you now.

Great Mail Day!



This came in the mail today.  I moderated the Bee Mice Elf Tour De Fleece team during the Tour De Fleece.  Laurs sent me this 100% BLF Nile as a thank you gift.  I can't wait to spin it up.  Check out Laurs fiber here:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/beemiceelf
