Over the moon with my Itunes reviews. Thanks to the Knitting Podcast Blog for adding me to the list!!

The Momma and Baby Monsters pattern by Rebecca Danger in The Big Book of Knitted Monsters

So Far...

Using odd balls of yarn. For the mommy body I used left over Yarn Absolute Wool in pink that I used in my nieces Escuelita Sweater. I have now started the CC color for the pockets, arms and legs in a deep wine color and I think its Caron Simply Soft. Finished the body, pockets, legs, and one arm. Need to cast on second arm.
US 6 knitpicks options needles

Need to remember to stick my Scylla socks in my purse.

Spinning.

I lost 4 ounces of spun yarn to a "pretty" day. Using a mixer to unwind yarn onto a toilet paper roll is a good idea however the execution needs to be better planned out. And an even prettier moment where I thought I could unwind it ended up in an even bigger tragedy. Oh the humanity!!

Started an Abstract Fiber BFL 4 oz braid. But not much progress since I am still in mourning :'(.

Not much sewing and strongly considering getting my own machine.

I talk about my Gilmore Girl addiction and the new Breaking Dawn Trailer.

Purchased

The Big Book of Knitted Monsters Rebecca Danger

Patons Kroy Socks sock yarn in a Gentry Grety (super charcoal gray) for 2.79!! Reg 4.99.

True Blood Season 3 (Season 4 begins June 26th at 9pm)
