Crafts and Domestics

These are super cool, but I don’t think my Japanese is going to be good enough to read this pattern!

Ridiculous yarn sale today. All of this for $50. It’s all merino, cashmere, alpaca, and silk. The two hand painted hanks in the front alone cost $24 retail. I saw an advertisement on Craigslist that an internet yarn store was going out of business and selling everything for $4 or less. It was AWESOME. It just so happened to be the same people that run Main Street Yarn in Mill Creek, which is a pretty awesome store in its own right. So excited to go on Ravelry and list all of this in my stash!!

Holy poop. I really, really want this. Especially after Craft posted this video about a super awesome Bill Cosby inception sweater. Seriously, if someone wants to donate to this cause, you are getting a freaking awesome sweater.

So it has been approximately a thousand years since my last post, since which I have completed a couple things. Here’s that circle scarf I was working on all finished up! Now if only it would be cold enough to wear it. I want to make more for Christmas presents, and I could use color/yarn suggestions. If only I could find more $7 skeins of highlander!

P.S. Sorry for the super blurry mirror pic!

I moved into a new apartment this weekend. I’m super excited to walking distance to a Jo-Ann and a specialty yarn shop, The Tea Cozy Yarn Shop. I went to both today! At the Tea Cozy, I got a great deal on this Cascade Yarns Sierra in a super cute coral color. I’m not sure what I want to do with it yet. I’m thinking of making a market bag.

Highlander by Alpaca with a Twist in a gorgeous burgnady tweed. Purchased at Bad Woman Yarn in Wallingford (on sale!). Badass seed stitch cowl coming soon.

Finished my kindle case! I was inspired by this pattern, but I didn’t want to felt it, so I knit it flat on straight needles and seamed up the sides. I’m pretty pleased with the results. The yarn used was Red Heart Super Saver in Marakesh.

Working on a case for my brand new kindle. It’s my first time doing cables!

I need to learn this stitch! So cool!
