Ah, I love relaxing days that involve lots of fiber. I got in some knitting and picked up some new swag, so it was a very nice Saturday. What’s not to love about a new Go Knit Pouch in Medium, and a keychain designed by John of Yarn Ball Boogie? Both of these lovely items are stocked by the ever-talented Scout, who does bad things for my checkbook, despite being a very kind person. It doesn’t help that Scout lives on the way to the Yarn Store, so it’s super easy to stop off at her house and buy some stuff. Hear that Scout? I’m cutting myself off! (Haha, yeah right!)
how cool is this keychain?
I really love my new Go Knit Pouch, because the medium size holds a bigger project, and even the smaller bag at the same time! This way I can carry around 2 projects to satisfy my ADD ;) The project it’s currently holding is a Topi that I’m knitting for my brother Clay, out of my 2400 MHz Worsted Merino in the Project 86 colorway. Now I know what you’re thinking…”jeez he uses his yarn a lot and never updates the shop!“…but I set this skein aside for him a few months ago on request, and I’m just now getting around to the knitting. Plus, it’s really good affirmation to knit with my own yarn just to see how it works up into various projects. Anyway to rationalize saving some for myself eh? ;)
Speaking of Yarn Nerd…I got more yarn in today! Woo-hoo! I’ve been waiting for some more orders for a bit, and they’re starting to come in, so I can get back to dyeing now. School has been particularly busy this semester, but it seems to be slowing down for now, so hopefully a shop update will be ready soon. And summer is coming too, so that means lots of dyeing time.
I did hit 1000 comments yesterday, so one lucky person should be hearing from me soon regarding their lovely gift. Now that I have more yarn to dye, I can provide a worthwhile prize package ;)
Also, go check this out! Dawn just finished a pair of socks with my 1500 MHz Sport Merino in the Bamboo Grove colorway, and they look great! This is the first picture I’ve seen of my yarn knitted up on the Internet, and I’m super excited. If anyone else has pictures of stuff they’ve knit with Yarn Nerd yarn, I’d love to see them!
That’s about all I got for today, I just wanted to give a quick update and show off my new purchases. Also, a commenter in the last post requested an update on my fitness progress, so that’s going to be the next post. Let’s just say that I’m still working at it, even if my schedule has been a bit crazy as of late. I haven’t fallen off the horse per say, I think I’ve just slowed to a trot. At least I’m still on right?
Have a wonderful Resurrection Day everyone! It’s really mind boggling to think that the Sovereign Almighty God came down to earth and died, so that I could have a relationship with Him. It’s not something that I understand or comprehend, but it’s something I can rejoice over, and give worship to God for. My only response is to try to live a life that gives Glory to Him for His namesake. Amen!
(Also, I apologize about the post changing subjects every 2 seconds, but it’s late and I have had waaaay too much coke this evening.)
