New day, new WIP
I think I am going to give up on that cotton candy yarn. It is really pretty but just not me. Yesterday was the first time my real-life knitting group met and I found some pretty cotton yarn in earthtones that is very soft and much more my style. I have cast on the T3 tshirt from Knitty.
The knitting group is going to be fun. I put pictures of our outing in my photo album. It is so nice to be able to talk about knitting without the other person's eyes glazing over. There are only three of us so far (there is a fourth but she couldn't come yesterday), so we definitely need to recruit more knitters. I have put together a blog for the group but we still haven't picked out a name, nor do we have any sort of logo/banner.
I mailed off Kim's booga bag and she mailed the stitch markers, so both of us are anxiously watching the mail. There was a great reaction to the markers and I think she will be able to sell them. We researched some cartoonish sheep that she is going to practice making as well as other animals and flowers. She will also make some pretty beads for a cheaper stitch marker option. I will set up a page (linked from here) with a PayPal button for her so she can do the ordering and shipping stuff herself.
Now, I am off to order some Cascade 220 for more felting. Oh, I almost forgot, take a look at this stitch pattern. Isn't it gorgeous? I see a shawl/wrap coming on.

I love the stich pattern very pretty and yes I would love to pet that yarn you have for just some trim. VERY pretty.
I have been practicing the sheep. I will send you a pic of my very first attempt and then a pic of the one I will send you...LOL I am only going to keep my first one because its so funny looking.
Shawna says she wants to make your set of markers for her bag. So I will let her do that. I think she is going to make you a set of insects (lol) ladybugs, bees,dragonflies. Very cute. I will send you a pic of those too.
