Love Monkey

So if I am a good little , don't buy any new yarn* and only use what is in my stash, why can't I start as many projects as I want, without guilt?

You know where this is going, right?

I just couldn't resist casting on a new pair of socks out of Christy's beautiful Crazy Monkey Creations yarn.


And I cast on for a basic Pi shawl which I'm calling Pi @ Sunrise because of the color. At least that's the color of sunrises around here.



That's more of Christy's Crazy Monkey yarn. Sooooooo preeettttyyyyy.

Christy is a master of color. I don't usually buy orange yarn. But I've bought orange yarn from Christy. I don't usually buy green yarn, but I've bought green yarn from Christy. Christy makes even colors you don't like irresistible. It's a very very dangerous situation.

And I Joined Another Knitalong


I'll be knitting Mermaid in the exact color shown in the button above.

I almost killed two birds with one stone and joined the Olympic Knitalong being hosted by Stephanie and was going to make Mermaid my challenge project. But then I came to my senses and realized the Olympics only lasts for 16 days and I'll be at the great big Plum Creek/CKC dog show for 6 of those days and no knitting will be completed.

Even Wendy couldn't finish her mermaid in 10 days start to finish, although she came close!

Tuesday Morning Round-Up

Maybe I'll make this a regular feature. You know, so I can make sure I know about all the projects I haven't touched in the past week.

The Pineapple Jacket is done except for buttons and me losing 10 pounds.

We just got the next installment of the FLAK this morning, I'll be working on that tonight!

I still haven't started the second fingerless mitt.

I rescued Violets by the River and added ONE ROW!

The first completely finished object of 2006, Standing in the Shadow of Love:


I've done a lot of thinking about the Victorian Lace Shawl but not a lot of knitting.

Am Kamin? It non-existence is multiplying as I consider another yarn possibility.


Fellow KWAer Phoebe presented me with that pretty pink ball of Harris at Rowan Dk weight yarn. I think it may be too thin, but I'm going to swatch anyway.

* There are two exceptions to the rule. I can buy New Yarn at the Estes Park Wool Market in June if I want. And if Christy has some yarn I really really love, I can buy it because it's all one of a kind, gorgeous and I'll never be able to get the exact color again. So there.
