(I tried a new camera, and it looked fine on the viewer, but when I transferred it over it was *weird*. Sorry about that.)

We’re at 96 memebers as of 1/24 @ 10am eastern, looks like I’ll be giving away that pattern next week!!

My FO – the Cleopatra Socks in Miss Babs Yummy. Pattern: In Slipping Color by Antje Gillingham.

(also forgot to mention – finished the lavender star baby blanket. Had 3 or 4 more rows on it, not much.)

WIPs…
…The Ancient Socks in Kroy Socks Stripes, US 2
…Volcanic Asterope by Romi Hill in Wolle’s Color Changing Cotton on US 5

Spinning…
…on some Superwash Blue Face Leicster from Tempted Yarns for socks!

…Owls (in Spanish)

After I saved the mp4 and got it uploading, I noticed the sound at the end of my video is off-sync. I don’t know what the frig is going on. But maybe that’ll be better soon. When I get better equipment.

So, inspired by MSkiKnits (Melissa of the Single Handed Knits podcast), I am going to not worry about the timer and just talk to you guys. Slow it down and enjoy my time with you!

This week, I finished…. the penguin baby blanket

I continued work on (i didn’t present in this order, but you’ll get the drift, i’m typing this up at work)…
…the Cleopatra Socks
…the Star Baby Blanket

And started…
…Mega-Mandala
…Volcanic Asterope

No spinning lately. Bummer. (WAIT ACK I FORGOT TO SHOW IT TO YOU GUYS! I guess you’ll see that next time.)

I got my Interstellar Yarn Alliance shipment, it’s beautiful.

I also got some silk caps to play with when I get around to trying out core-spinning. I play with one on the air. It’s pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

Come join me on the Ravelry group; there’s a button at the top of this page to take you to it! When I get to 100 members I’m going to give away a pattern! If you get them here fast enough, maybe even YARNIE GOODNESS. We’ll have to see. **AS OF 01/21/2013 WE HAVE 92 MEMBERS!**

Have great week!
