Visit with Kristin Nicholas

If you love color..you'll love Kristin Nicholas....pop on over to her blog and check out the video of her house...

I spent a delightful day at Kristin's house a couple of summers ago...here is the blog post I did after the workshop

If you ever get a chance to visit her or take a class with her, please do...it was such fun!

here are some of her designs...or just google search her.....I have a couple of her books....and her newest book is Crafting a Colorful Home...

Today I'm gonna work on some socks....I'm having a miserable allergy day....

99 Followers on the Wall

This has been going through my head since I saw that someone else joined yesterday and now I have 99....wow! 

99 followers over there...99 followers over there ==========}}}}}}}

You take one down...no, no...don't take one down.....

Just a bit of silliness....I'm heading off to meet a former student for dinner...I have some errands to run first....did I mention I ran over my camera?  Well I need to buy a new one for my trip....

Remember the other day and my hankering for purple....well I pulled this out...

It's hard to capture it..it's a sapphire blue with purple..really leaning on the purple...inspired by

and I think I'll be casting on another pair of socks...probably something vanilla, as I think these may be my travel socks...gonna pick up some very cheap dpn's today, just in case I loose them....

How are you today?

Last year I had made 27 things by this time...but I was also involved with the Ravellenics, Nerd Wars and had done a few swaps.  I haven't done any "competitions" this year...and no swaps....so yeah it does affect my output...

I also took on my first knit sweater, so that is taking time...and a couple of longer (for me) projects...

And if you made it to here....here is a picture of my latest....when the need for rainbows was strong..Blue Skies and Rainbows..

 

Stash Saturday

Are you ready for another installment?  I've not been very good about not buying yarn lately..especially all the pretties from Addicted to Indie Dyed Yarn and Fiber on Facebook..someone posted rainbow sparkle yarn yesterday...RAINBOW SPARKLE YARN people!  I resisted...I will resist....I will......I will....

Here's the shop listing, if you know....you want to buy some, and who wouldn't?...GroovyHues

I did choose not to join MadColor's latest club....it's Dr. Who...and I still have a ton of it from the last couple go arounds....but I'll be back in October.....and I also didn't join the latest Buffy patrol....so all I have coming in on a regular basis (I still have one month left for Madcolor) is Random Fandom from Nerd Girl..which I won't give up, as it's hard to get into it....

So what have I gotten lately? 

MadColor Baker Street - Honey, You Should See Me in a Crown...ALL my favorite colors (except greens in this!)

Okay so Loopy Ewe said they had some Wollmeise...I snagged a skein of Magnolie....I loved the different shades in it...

It's going to be a shawl....yummy...Wollmeise is always so tight, I never want to wind it..because it just looks so perfect...

And finally..some rainbows!!!!

And this is wound, and I started a pair of socks...because I felt the need for rainbows yesterday...this is Nothing Says Screw You Like a Rainbow from White Birch Fiber Arts...here's the listinggo take a look...I'll wait...what's amazing?...is you knit a rainbow and then you knit the sky..with clouds!  How awesome is that!  I have two rainbows done.....but no pictures yet....

I'm also waiting on some Martian yarn from Canada...gonna make some Martian socks to go see the movie in October....

So it's not been too bad...I leave for Norway in three weeks...and there will be yarn shopping and buying there, so I think I'm gonna go on a yarn diet until then....hahahahahaha..I CAN DO IT!!!  I know I can!!!!!!

Finished Object Friday

Good morning!  It is 3 in the morning right now and I couldn't sleep, so figured I'd get up and do this.....I have two things to share...

I don't think I ever actually shared a finished picture of the Dark Side of the Moon socks....

Aren't they FABULOUS!!!!!!!  Yarn is Manic Pixie Dream  Zooey in Dream and Delirium.  It's a merino/nylon mix, but feel silky for some reason...I started with the Fork in the Road pattern, but could not get the heel, so did my first short row heel....which seems to fit me very well....I recently got another skein in Cloudy with a Chance of Rain in a kit.....

And then I have to share this...I bought an owl kit at Barnes and Noble awhile ago..to make a little owl for a little cousin...on Wednesday, we had a family get together, so I hurriedly finished up the owl...

It came in that little suitcase....so I bought a cute little book and gave it all to Rose....she loved it...she wouldn't put it down all night...

So have you finished anything?  I am itching to cast on something in purple....

Go to these places to see others finished objects.....here , here and here, when they come up...

Stitch Along Wednesday

Good morning!  My first official Wednesday of summer vacation!!!!! 

Yesterday I had two doctor's appointments...and it's official, I have arthritis in my knees...I've always suspected, but has never been actually diagnosed..so along with that...and "loose ligaments"  and femeral-patella syndrome...my knees are pretty worthless....but they are not bad enough to get surgery yet...but it is probably in my future...

And I damaged a nerve on the top of my right foot...and I will probably need bunion surgery down the line...I've had one over 20 years ago...and it has regrown....and the other is just as bad...yuck!

Good thing I have activities that I can do while lying around..huh?

But I did lose weight!  Yeah!  So this summer, I'm gonna try and get back to the gym...I did walk yesterday morning....my body is still waking me up early....so I'll do it in the morning...but I have some restrictions...like no hills...I live on a hill...;/

How about projects?  Cuz that's what you are here for?  Well...I have worked on my Owligan...It's up to 19 inches now...it's a pretty boring picture....it'll get more exciting once I start on the owls....the Hubs doesn't like the color of the yarn....calls it "old lady brown,"  but I think it'll go with everything..I plan on wearing it more as a jacket....

I have old red buttons for the closures...

I also started another pair of vanilla socks...

So I have something that I don't have to follow a pattern....I'm on the heel....

I have also put a few more rows in on my Willow Fields...it really doesn't look much different than this older picture...

So what about you this week? What are you working on?  I think I may go back to bed...because I can...how glorious is that!!!!!!

Please join us and link back...thanks!

 Oh looky there, another finished thing....a small thing...but still...I made a hamster to go with the book we've been reading at school....

I have a half day tomorrow and then I am out for the summer....although I have a couple doctor's appointments on Tuesday....my Mom is also in town for a week....

I am still determined to whip my WIPs...so working on a few of them....I've got my Owligan to 17 inches...it's suppose to go to 22, but I am short, so I may only go to 20....I have another stripey sock on the needles, as they are mindless...and I need a project I don't have to refer to a pattern....I've added some to my Willow Fields shawl....I will be finishing up lots of wips in the next couple of weeks, I hope!  I've been good about not casting on anything else (except the Dork socks)...and well, the hamster....but all else have been wips.....

Stitch Along Wednesday

Good morning!  The last Wednesday of the school year!  Today our students are having a Fun Day!  For all their hard work during the Restaurant Project.....so no teaching today!!!! 

I haven't worked on much since Sunday, when I posted a few works in progress pics...it's exhausting closing up the school year and packing up my classroom....the custodians clean the room and wax the floors over the summer, so everything has to come off the floors....

last night I put a few stitches into my Dork socks and then went to sleep.....so no new progress photos...

Yesterday was one month until I go to Norway!!!!!  I can't wait!  Time really seems to slow down when you are waiting for something exciting to happen...also I'm going to be having an 8 hour layover in London....anyone in the area want to meet up? 

What are your summer plans?  Any travel happening?

Look at that!  Two finished projects!  The socks have been around since 2013!  Zuzu's Petals was started on January 1 of this year...Right now I am all about the wips...I'm whipping the WIPs....full confession, I did start a new sock...only because I need a mindless project....so the Dork socks were born...

Sorry, picture is so dark...I worked on these at WWKIP day...it was a lot of fun....the yarn was dyed to match the bag...

I've also worked on my second turtleneck capelet today...

I can't find the other two skeins of the red, so I think this is going to be turned into a cowl....

I have also put a few more inches on my Owligan

I also have to make a hamster today.....

I also frogged my Faces in the Wallpaper socks...I had no idea where I was and I could tell they would be too big..I still plan on making them, but now I know more and can modify them for me..

So I have been busy!!!!  6 more days of school...but really grades were due on Friday, so it's just keeping them busy for 6 days....

Stash Saturday!!!!

I actually only have two new acquisitions...both are from clubs

Mad Color's Baker Street....in Honey You Should See Me in a Crown....my heart went flutter, flutter, must cast on immediately!  But have been good!

Nerd Girl Random Fandom...Protector of the Innocent...I guess the inspiration was Goku from anime...not an anime fan, so have no idea..I am loving the colors though, as I'm all about the orange right now....may make the nephew a hat, as his fav color is orange...

Happy World Wide Knit (and Crochet) in Public Day!!!  Did you play?

It is still early here, but I am thinking of hitting up three events...

This one, because yarn bombing...yeah

Maybe this one, because it sounds like fun...

Definitely this one...which is the one I attend every year...it's literally a less than 5 minute walk from my house....

But...I woke up with another rip-roaring headache...AND it is suppose to rain for a bit this morning...so we'll see how the morning goes....

I'll let you know...or follow me on instagram, as I'll post pictures there...and link to #wwkip15

Finished Friday

Well I have a finish!!!!! One of my older wips....I started them in April of 2013...and finished them yesterday...I had frogged them at one point...as I've learned more and they were too big for me...they actually fit me pretty well!  It's just a vanilla pattern with an eye of partridge heel....

They are Quaere Fibre in Rolling in the Deep, obviously I call them my Adele socks....I adore the purple in these....they don't match perfectly, but are pretty close....

So one more WIP is done!  After finishing correcting papers, I then pulled out my Zuzu's Petals and worked on that...I have 10 rows to go...I need to cut a repeat out, as I'm running out of yarn....(I stayed home on Thursday, still had  a nasty headache and have been having issues with one of my ankles)...so was able to put in some good time on things....

So I'll have another WIP done for next week....yeah!!!!!

Going to see Jurassic World after school today...cannot wait! 

What have you finished lately?  Hook up with some amazing ladies....here, here, and here...

Stitch Along Wednesday

Oh my gosh...why am I up so early?  I have a wicked headache and my ankle hurts...so wish I would have called in sick today....my allergies are acting up....9 days of school left...yeah!!!!!!  I'm almost done with all the paperwork, grade have to be in by Friday......then it's just the packing of the room, which I have been doing slowly....have to organize cabinets, so I can pack as much as possible into them...

I have worked on several things this week...but don't have pictures....

My Adele/Rolling in the Deep socks...I'm on the foot of the second sock.....

My Owligan, I added a couple of inches to the back and front.....

hmmmm...thought there was something else I worked on, but guess not.....

So since no pictures of projects, how about one of a zebra?

I petted this guy on Sunday...we visited an animal park.  We had gone when it was first opened, a couple years ago, was not impressed...decided to see if they had improved...still not impressed.  The museum was cool, but the displays were dusty and had cobwebs.....some of the animals water needed to be changed, had algae in it....and there weren't a ton of animals....really they should call it Goats and Geese, because that's what they mainly had.....oh and lots of different kind of deer....they also had this fella....

Who was beyond HUGE!  He was MASSIVE!!!!!

So how was your week?  What did you get done?  Have you ever been disappointed in an attraction that you visited?  Hmmm...I could go back to bed for 15 minutes....please link back....thanks!

Year of Projects Week #23

Good morning my lovelies!  Not sure what I'll be doing today...at some point I have to do some correcting and entering grades...lots of things to do to wrap up the end of a school year....packing classroom comes next....oy vey!

So I've actually put some work into several things this week!!!! 

I made a quick hat the other day, so that gets added to the completed list...

I have startitis really bad and keep downloading patterns, but I won't let myself start something until I finish a couple more things...the quick hat was made with bulky yarn and was crocheted, so I knew it wouldn't take me too long...in two weeks, I'll have tons of time to work on things....summer vacation cannot get here fast enough!

Finished Friday!!!!

So I have a couple of finishes....two.....here goes...

Here is my Baktus....actually it's a semi-Baktus, as I ran out of yarn...so one side did not decrease to a point...oh well...it works....Sunruse Fiber Company in Seahawk Colors,,,the hat I finished a few weeks ago, as a test knit and shared.....

And a quick, bulky yarn hat I whipped up in about an hour....it used up some bits and pieces....

So those are my finishes, what are yours?

Join up at A Hard Knit Life and Creative Friday...the only two with links this early...

Stitch Along Wednesday

So after forgetting two weeks ago, last night I got home from work, ate, vegged a bit...and then 6:00 rolls around and I sit up and go, "Oh Sh**! It's Wednesday!"  I thought, it's too late again...and then I realized it was only Tuesday...whew!!!!

I slept miserably...because after that, I fell asleep for a hour and a half....and then couldn't sleep...grrr!!!

Luckily today I'm at a workshop, so I don't have to be too awake.....

Book:  The Martian by Andy Weir.  I'd read a review and they are also making a movie with Matt Damon.....it's really good!  Although I do tend to skip over much of the science gobbledy-gook...

What Am I Working On?

Second sock for Rolling in the Deep....

First Kai-Mei sock

Thought about working on Owligan, cuz it was chilly the best couple of days, but didn't get to it....

And I did start and finish a hat...I'll save that for Friday....

Man, I'm tired...okay I am off to shower...and start my day....talk to you all later...

Post back, leave a comment if you'd like....and have a wonderful Wednesday!
