On the Needles: Knitting Projects - FO's: none
WIPs: Atlantic Current Socks, still slogging away Plain garter stitch shawl in some TLC Heathers acrylic. Diagonal Ribbed cowl by Mel Clark in a lovely green baby alpaca, not sure who for. Really wanted to make the dropped stitch cowl but I couldn't find the yarn I wanted to use with it. Evolution shawl by Rachel Henry for the Fiber Factor and Skacel Collection. Started as a KAL last November and obviously stalled out. Picked it back up at 5a and I'm on section 5b out of 6c. Also in an alpaca yarn, Alpaca Sox in Wasabi. Stalking - cowls. Looking for fast, easy projects to use up some of my single skeins. Favs - Ombra cowl, Mavis, and Nennir. Acquisitions - Lorna's laces sportmate in Sassy Stripe, Lorna's Laces Shepard Worsted in La Regina, and KFI Luxury Collection Luxury Silk Sport in color LSS-07. Spinning Projects - WIP: same cormo,
Under the Needle: Sewing Projects - Binding my Waves of Glory quilt
In the Garden: n/a
In the Beeyard - n/a
Off Topic: Dinner out last night with some friends. We meet once a month for dinner to ensure we're staying in touch. I've had a really good week, with stable energy levels. Maybe because I pampered myself? Boots at Lane Bryant AND a massage! Take that, depression! Knit group on Saturday, which I actually made. I've missed the past few weeks. Met some new people and everything! Watching: Amy Beth of the Fat Squirrel podcast. So funny! Hellllooooo, and shenanigans! Tried to do a virtual knit night last week but couldn't get Google Hangout to work correctly. We're going to try again this Friday night at 5:30pm MST. Come join us! Thanks for watching!

On the Needles: Knitting Projects - FO's: Bronco Swirl hat by Mandie Harrington for the mother-in-law
WIPs: Atlantic Current Socks, still slogging away Plain garter stitch shawl in some TLC Heathers acrylic. Stalking - KALs, projects for DCSPigskinParty2015, there's some great ideas out there. Checking things out while watching the games. Go Broncos! Spinning Projects - WIP: same cormo, no progress
Under the Needle: Sewing Projects - block 4 of a mystery block of the month quilt. Two blocks each month, using reproduction fabrics, which I love. First Thursday Mystery at Ruth's Stitchery My Waves of Glory quilt came back from the quilter. It was quilted by Nikki Rainey at Nana's Quilt Cottage in Old Colorado City, and it's beautiful. Now I just need to snip all the extra threads and bind it. New acquisitions -- beautiful fabrics from Moda Simply Colorful II, V and Co.

Off Topic: Love the color coded cables for the Knitter's Pride products (I have the Karbonz interchangeables). So much more fun than black. Watching: Diane of the Suburban Stitcher podcast. Broncos lost last week, but we're still sitting ok. We play Chiefs here this Sunday and we're gonna win!
Spent the last week in Phoenix with my sister and family and had a great time. Hopefully made some good memories with my nieces and they remember us next time we see them. So lucky to have such great family. Thanks for watching!
