Wool Gathering

So in response to Sam buying a spinning wheel, I may have wool to spin with it. My loverly bestest best guy buddy, Mathew, who works on a farm where they have sheep is going to see about getting me some wool. This means Sam and I get some spinning experience before we start attempting llama wool.

I am ashamed to say that I have been a very lazy knitter. I haven't even started on my Harry Potter project, simply because I have no yarn, and no money at the moment to buy yarn. Can I just say I hate gas prices? So I am seriously considering making a shirt that says "Hogwarts Dropout" just so I have something to wear. Unfortunately Mare has just informed me that it's a sweatervest or bust. Looking through some of the Weasley sweater patterns, they're becoming a very real possiblility.

Ok, now that I have updated everybody on my new yarn possiblilies. OH! I could spin the yarn and dye it grey for my sweater! YES!

Phoneticly Speaking

I just wanted to let everyone know that I GOT A NEW PHONE! And it is sweet. Once again, instead of getting me a new battery which is what I really needed, my faja bought me a brand new phone. Pictures to come, I'm writing this from my sister's room not mine.

In terms of my craft, I've started work on the Alumni Banquet Project. I'm crocheting a couple dozen cupcakes for the Alumni Banquet as a large group project, we're all doing different types of projects. Unfortunately me and Sam are going to take a little longer than everyone else, since cupcakes are a little more time consuming than a clay sculpture.

Some Flowers Blossom Overnight

There is a reason for that title. One night last week I got bored and decided that I needed a new hanging for my door. So I whipped out my pastel yarn and set to work making a flower. Did you know that there really aren't all that many good flower patterns out there? After searching for at least an hour, I gave up and started making it up as I went. All in all it turned out well I think, with the possible exception of my non-existent embroidery skills.

Total time: Approx. 3 hours.

In other news, I finished the last Birthday present for a few months. Bambina is going to love this, hopefully the colors are toned down enough from her Valenmas present.
