Heylo. I've been so busy with school and all that fun stuff. So I haven't had time to post...

Finals are next week so I'm super excited about that. I also start my new job on Thursday so that's pretty exciting..

KNITTING

I started working on some socks for my mom for Mother's Day, which I just found out is next Sunday. I better get started on that.

The Water Lily top is on hold...I need to buy some bigger needles.

SPINNING

I finished this around St. Patty's Day. It's 35yds Corriedale. Not much, but it was one of my first yarns. Right now I'm spinning some BFL that I dyed myself. I Navajo plyed the first 2 oz..it's over twisted so I might have to set the twist on the singles before I ply it.

That's is for now....and I got a new tattoo.

So, it's a little late to be posting fiber for Fiber Friday, but hey. Whatevs. Im putting some up that I finished a while ago. I'm unsure of the yardage, and it's 2 ply, Corridale. I named it "King Cake", since Mardi Gras was around the corner...

King Cake

I dont know what I am going to do with it. Maybe mix it with the other fiber I spun and make a crazy hat out of it...but we'll see.

I'm addicted to spinning and buying fiber. It's ridiculous. I need to save money, not spend it like I have an unending supply. I ordered some 100% bamboo from Loop yesterday. So I can't wait to see what that feels like. It looks amazing. Yes, I get excited over fiber.

I'm still working on Thin Mint from the Domiknitrix book. It's a mindless knit and it's kind of boring me. I want to start on the Water Lily top, but I have too many WIPs, so one at a time! Meh.

Well, I better go take Sir Poops A Lot outside before he does it inside. Ciao!

It is comfortably FREEZING today. Well, it's not as bad as it was this morning. Nothing has been going on in knitting news since I dont have time to knit or spin. Im going to do a little of both tonight while watching the movie Hannibel Rising. I dont have classes on Freitag, so its the start of the weekend for me.

Im stil waiting on my goodies from Spunky Eclectic. Im sure she is a busy lady and has a ton of orders, but Januar ist almost over! (love how im speaking deutshlish[ das ist Deutsch und Englisch])

Yes im a dork.

Friday is tomorrow, and im still at my mom's, so no fiber friday tomorrow. Entschuldigung! 

Here is my first post. Nothing special about it. Im going to try to keep up with this bc every time I start a blog, I never post more than 2 things. So....this is going to be where I share my knitting and spinning. I have a written journal for private things, but depending on my mood, it might be put here too :)

Since today is Friday, and I have no fiber to share, I will start that next week.

I joined a fiber and yarn of the month club from Spunky Eclectic. I cant wait for my first things to arrive!

I just finished spinning an ounce of dark green Corriedale fiber. Im going to spin another colour, and then ply it together. It wont be much to knit with alone, but maybe I can find someting small to make with it.

My WIP right now is Monkey by Cookie A. I need to start on something else, but I just want to finish the socks! The yarn I picked isnt too flattering, but I just wanted to use it up. I'll definately make them again with a more flattering yarn!

So, im staying at my mom's and step-dad's for a week. I love their house. Its outside of the city, and just feels peaceful. But then Im basically i the middle of no where and some crazy guy running through a corn field might come and get me.

Its only 8:43pm and everyone is asleep. Needless to say, I am bored. If I was at home, I would be knitting and watching tv, and letting my puppy Yoda run wild. Right now, he is in the laundry room, and I dont want to put him in his crate just yet. I still have to take him outside one m ore time. Bleh. Anyway.

 Guten Nacht!
