Stalking Lime and Violet

I am very enamored of a very fun knitting podcast, Lime and Violet. They are pretty much crazy, just like me. And yarn obsessed enablers (hello, my stash is growing!). So, if you like podcasts, and knit, and don't already listen to them, you should!

Massive Knitting Update

So unless you are a knitter yourself, or will listen to me anyway (like skywalker363, who might just listen to me read the phone book, he is that sappy) you may want to disregard this particular posting. It's slightly yarn obsessed.

So, on the needles at the moment:

• Holiday project number 1: Scarf for my little sis in Stahl Excellent in this neon green, pink, red, and lavender colorway. Size 13 needles, 20 stiches, k2 p2 ribbing.


• My First Sock Ever: Just what it sounds like. Trekking XXL in this pretty blue, purple, pink, white, and light blue colorway, size 1 needles, standard Ann Norling sock pattern.


• Afghift: 12 block afghan in Manos Del Uraguay. Block patterns come from the Design Source books, and are mixed and matched. Each block is a different color, and I am not listing them here. Size 9 needles.


• Polo Shirt: Striped pullover in Takhi Stacy Charles Cotton Classic, deep purple base with pink, gray, and turquoise stripes. Store pattern from The Skein Attraction, size 6 needles.


• Felted Bag: The Booga Bag done in 2 pretty colorways of Noro Kureyon, both of which are green and brown based. Size 10.5 needles, which are my absolute favorite needle size.

I also fell down and went boom in a major way. As I said in the last post, I have been listening to the Lime and Violet podcast. They are enablers of the worst kind. I went to The Loopy Ewe, a site they basically advertise (as in they gush about it all the time) and bought 2 skeins of Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn. Because, of course, sock yarn doesn't count as stash! And then I went to Knitpicks and bought most of the sock yarn that has been sitting in my cart there, because all of their hand dyed sock yarn colors are going away. And I wanted them, so very much. So I think I will be making a lot of socks for a while... And before this falling down, my LYS had a sale. This is not safe for my credit card. Because I think I may have bought everyone's holiday present yarn, and yarn for a cardigan for me. So I fell down. And made a big boom.

So that's the end of the massive knitting post. I will update on birthday events, and other events in my life soon.
