Look another new post!

Holy cow, I actually did two posts in one week! I guess I am getting more organized. Or maybe I just read a friends blog that reminded me I have my own to look after. hehehe. I think it was the latter.

So what I am doing today is looking for just the right yarn for a Sock A Long project, I want it to be more than sock weight, for right now I dont have the patience for tiny yarn and tiny needles. While I've done socks before, its been a while and I need more instant gratification of a larger yarned sock. I dont know whats gotten into me that I cant just sit their and do my rounds but its true. I need faster comfort I guess. I am also on a deadline. =P

So off to Michaels I go today and hopefully find just the right one. I found a pattern I like in one of the sock knitting books I have. I made toe socks from that books patterns. The toes were alittle long, but I did a pretty good job with them otherwise. Now that was sock weight yarn and tiny needles! Hopefully the yarn of my sock dreams will jump out and me and not only that but be on sale too! You never know, I may just get lucky there. Wish me luck!

Oops. I did it again/ Market bag inspiration

Ok, my friends. I did it again, its been too long since I last blogged. My catholic side feels the need to repent, so this is me repenting and blogging for you, and for me too truth be told.

Not too much has happened other than a lot of crocheting! Mostly market bags of my own design, made of cotton yarns that had been collected over time. Some all the way from Oregon's Websters yarn shop in Ashland. That is the pic you see at the top Do you sometimes find that you love a yarn and buy enough for a project and then a year or so has gone by and you still didnt find just the right project? Well that was the case with this beautiful yarn. So I decided to throw both hooks in and use it for a lovely market bag, and it turned out great! I highly enocourage you to try making a purse or tote or market bag with some of your fave stash. Its not the typical hat or scarf that we all make sometimes to de stash, its something different and usefull all year no matter the weather, and it makes you more inclined to go check out your local farmers markets and swap meets and that in turn helps out the local scene. So you see its really a good cycle of destashing. =)
