I always knew there was more to my toes than meets the eye.

Your Toes Should Be Dark Red

Sexy and a little dangerous, you give off a totally vampy vibe. Your flirting style: Straight forward and seductive Your ideal guy: Powerful and a little intimidating Stay away from: Mama's boys

What Color Should Your Toenails Be?

So many projects, so little time...

I have so many great projects waiting to get finished or started that it is driving me insane. I want to knit and wear them all right now!!! If patience is a virtue, I'm definitely not virtuous. In fact, I may be looking the at the 9th circle - Move over Brutus, Cassius and Judas - Here I come! Pass me a Corona and let's sit back and enjoy the heat.

Green Gable is drawing to a close. Only an inch and a half more to go and it will be finished. It's definitely my quickest knit and will be finished in less than three weeks. But somehow that seems like so long when you have all of these lovelies waiting in the wings...

Say hello to Fifi by French Girl and the lovely leaf lace skirt from Hemp for knitting. These two little beauties will be next to go on the needles. I am so excited to give Rowan Calmer a whirl. From everything I've heard, Rowan Calmer is like Yarn Crack. Once you take a hit, you are addicted for life. My Fifi will be done in the colorway Kiwi.

I have to admit that I'm a little afraid of what knitting with the Allhemp 6 for the Lovely Leaf Lace Skirt will be like but I am a wimp and so I will just have to put my big girl pants on and ride it out. Who knows, I may even build a few muscles working with the Allhemp 6. I have say the FO pics I've seen of the Lovely Leaf Lace Skirt are gorgeous and the world will not be a wonderful place until I have one of my own. My LLLS will be a nice shade of chocolate for maximum wearability with a variety of tops and footwear. If I am going to wrestle the hemp, I'm going to get all that I can out of it.

I am also chomping at the bit to get started on these two must-haves for the well-dressed girl. Every girl needs to have a great black top in her wardrobe. The black Cascade Pima Tencel that is destined to become the Shaped Lace Tee from Knitting Lingerie Style is ready to fulfill its potential and become a truly great top. Not only is one skein in my stash waiting to become a one skein wonder but a second is waiting for me to get my butt moving as well.








I'm afraid that I will have to continue the saga of the project overload that I currently have going on in a later post as I cannot bear to think of how far behind I am in my knitting and how badly I want to be able to wear each and everyone of these items RIGHT NOW. I'm off to get back to work on Green Gable and hopefully have a finished object to show off in the next day or two to offset all of the projects that are still waiting in the wings.

And my personality is... the same as it ever was.

You Are An ENFP

The Inspirer You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends. You are also unconventional, irreverent, and unimpressed by authority and rules. Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives. You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller! In love, you are quite the charmer. And you are definitely willing to risk your heart. You often don't follow through with your flirting or professed feelings. And you do break a lot of hearts. At work, you are driven but not a workaholic. You just always seem to enjoy what you do. You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist. How you see yourself: compassionate, unselfish, and understanding When other people don't get you, they see you as: gushy, emotional, and unfocused

What's Your Personality Type?

I am on the wagon!

I am officially going on a yarn diet until I can finish the following spring/summer items that I not only have the patterns for but also the yarn.

1. Green Gable or, in my case, Candy Apple Gable. I am about 50% through knitting this sweater in Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece - Candy Apple. I started knitting it on Saturday, June 23, and am hoping to finish it by the end of this weekend.

2. Next on the needles, we have an UnRusted Root. It will be knitted with Jungle Green Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. I am hoping that this sweater knits up as quickly as Green Gable.

3. Then we have Fifi, which will be knit in Rowan Calmer - Kiwi, for the SKC KAL.

4. Then there is the shaped lace tee from Knitting Lingerie Style. I will be doing it in black with Cascade Pima Tencel.

5. I also have the karabella antique cotton ready to make the Josephine top from the summer 2007 Interweave Knits.

6. Last but not least (well, of the large projects, at least) is the Hemp for Knitting leaf lace skirt to be knit with the chocolate color of allhemp6.
I think that these projects and the other assortment of smaller projects that I have going on should get me through at least the rest of summer.

I have also done alot of stash enhancing for other projects and will be photographing it soon to share the yarn porn. I will learn self control. (or at least try to.)

THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!!

Thank you, No Sheep for You Secret Swap Pal!!!!!!! I was so excited when I got home from work yesterday and saw the package as I opened the door. What a great way to end a Monday!!!

I did a little photoshoot to capture the awesomeness of my package.

First, we have the entire package laid out in all of its glory...

The Ghiardelli chocolates are amazing and they were completely unmelted, so I didn't get any chocolate on the yarn! I also immediately opened the hand lotion and gave it a try. I loved it. It is the perfect size for carrying in my knitting bag.

And now onto the yarn...

The light blue Ingeo Yarn has to be one of the coolest yarns that I have ever seen! It's made entirely out of corn, the kernels not the husk! NSFYSP - I've never been to Iowa to see the corn fields. I love the little tag with a kernel of corn and that it is something that is unique to Iowa. I will definitely be thinking up something super special to knit with the Ingeo. Also, fellow knitters who are intrigued by the yarn made of corn - it is machine washable! The color is a pale sky blue. It photographed much darker than it actually is.

The package also include a lavendar and a cream colored skein of Sugar 'n Creme! I will have to find something fun to knit up using these colors.

I love the knitting themed notecards!!!

I will have to think of a very special place to put of the knitting is knotty sticker!!! I LOVE IT AND THE PIN!!!! (unfortunately, I couldn't get a good pic of the pin.)


This is my first swap and I am so glad that I signed up for it. It is so much fun to shop for presents for your downstream pal and exciting to see the package from your upstream pal waiting for you when you get home.

NSFYSP, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE THOUGHTFUL PACKAGE!!!!!!!

I am a terrible blogger...

I've been quite bad about blogging lately. I have lots of project and stash enhancement pictures to take and I will have a proper post pretty soon.

You Belong in Spring

Optimistic, lively, and almost always happy with the world... You can truly appreciate the blooming nature of spring. Whether you're planting flowers or dyeing Easter eggs, spring is definitely your season!

What Season Are You?
