Organization, Sort Of
Organized mess
Last week, someone asked how I organize my yarn and needles. I have to admit, it’s more like slightly organized chaos around here. Everything has a place, but everything is rarely in its place.
A couple of NFOs
A little dress for a little mermaid
The little guys are nearly done! I’m so excited! Above the image is the little dress for the mermaid.
Reading Patterns
I was listening to the Knit Picks Podcast on my way home from work yesterday and an interesting topic came up. Kelley and Kerin were discussing tips for reading patterns (I’m playing catch-up as I’m way behind). As I listened, my mind kept wandering off and comparing how I read patterns to what their suggestions were, which I found fascinating.
Weekend Wrap-Up: Old Spinning Wheel Yarn Shop
The newest additions to my stash
Remember number 4 on Friday’s list?

Ha!
New Toys
New Knitting Toys!
I’m so excited about this! After a really long, quiet day at work, I was absolutely exhausted. When I got home, though, I saw a friendly little Knit Picks box on my doorstep. My new knitting toys had arrived!
Weekend Wrap-Up

How To Video: Starting Point Baby Booties from Knit Picks
To go along with yesterday’s post about baby booties, my newest obsession, I wanted to share a tutorial I found on the Knit Pick’s website. Need a last minute baby shower present? This video will guide you through the steps to make little booty slippers for that new precious one. (They look so cozy!)
Knit Picks’ Comfy Worsted Yarn
What’s left after the project: 1 full skein and about 1/4 of one
I thought I’d take a moment to review the yarn I’ve been working so much with lately: Comfy. After all, with thousands of stitches now under my belt with the shawl (which is blocking right now, yay!), I’ve had a lot of time to become intimately acquainted with the yarn.
The Joy of Tiny Knits
Drinking in the morning sun
I think I got turned around on my projects. I was so tired of big knots that I made something very small last night. To be honest, I kind of want to do it again. The pattern I used was Tiny Baby Bunnies by Anna Hrachovec.
