Yarn Purchases

My first every purchase of Socks That Rock from Blue Moon Fibers in colorway Spawn Of The Bruan. Its amazing and is so soft.

My First ever Score buy on Raverly for Some pretty in pink Wollmeise :)

 Bought some Spud & Chole at my local yarn shop , Loops to make a shawl with. Its a very pretty Pink.

Purchased this yarn bag from Etsy. I had ordered this really cool skull bag and she sent this one by mistake,so I get to keep this one and she is sending out the correct one. The seller on Etsy is Pixlkitten . Very sweet lady and I will buying more bags from her in the future.

Been alot of yarn buying and now its time to sit down and knit. I love shopping but I am running out of room in my house for all this stuff, so I must knit and destash a bit.

Snow Blizzard 2011 In Oklahoma

Hello all, I have a lot of photos to show of the massive snow storm we had on 2/1/11-2/13//11 Oklahoma has never had so much snow in Tulsa. I guess the strange part of it was after so much snow we had 70 degree days right after that for like 5 days, lol. Only in Oklahoma .

My handprints in the snow on 2/13/11 as the sun was coming out and by noon that day the snow was all melting away. The next day was in the 60's and the next was in the 70's.. What a great blizzard it was.

Helping A Child With Our Yarn & Needles

So yesterday I was on Itunes looking for Podcast to listen to. Seems like a endless task with me trying to find new knitting podcast that I don't get tired of right off the bat. Anywho I started to listen to Manic Purl http://manicpurl.blogspot.com/  and http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/the-manic-purl-podcast/1492434/1-25#15 there is a project called Mother Bear Project 2011 Started over on the Cogknitive Knit Raverly Group http://www.ravelry.com/discuss/cogknitive/933903/ and she also has a podcast which I love. The pattern and details are all at Cogknitive Group on Raverly and Manicpurl Raverly group has jumped in to make some of these sweet bears for children. I know that all of knitters has some acrylic yarn or worsted in our craft room just sitting there. I said in 2011 I was going to do more work for charity and the those in need, well this is a great start. You can pay for the pattern for a bear or there is a free one, but the point is that this is going to a child that has nothing! it could bring a little hope to a dark place in their lives.
 Here is a link for making the eyes on the bear or any handmade gift that I found so easy to do. http://esunbeams.com/knittycat/patterns/knittycatsYarnKnotEyesforPeepsTutorial.pdf
So get the needles out and start those bears :) .

Look What I did

So I have been wanting to make the BlackRose socks from Knitty.com. Only problem is my yarn was in a skein and not a center pull ball were I could knit with it. I have never bought a ball whinder and so I decided to hit Youtube and look around. I found a video were this lady was using a Nostepinne which I have never seen before and it looked really easy. So I walked over to my paper towel holder and pulled out the part you put the roll on and went to town!!!!! It worked great.. I so love YouTube
