Make sure to watch all the way through to the end – I’m having a giveaway!

I was wearing my Blurple Lace Elektra by Romi Hill.

FO’s include my long-draw Jacob (I swear I’ll count up my yardage soon) and my second project for my swap partner.

WIPs include the Lighthouse socks for the hubs and the G’day Boomerang which only got a little bit of love this week.

I’m spinning on that Loop bullseye bump still – I discuss how I handled the not-playing-nice-pulling-from-the-center problem.

I acquired some Moon Holler yarn (her shop is here) in a gorgeous gradient for a shawl dyed specifically for the 2014 East Tennessee Yarn Crawl. Waiting for the pattern to surface for this gorgeous colorway!

I have startitis LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE and I am fighting it! I need your help to feel better about starting all the things. So – A Giveaway is announced! See the threads Spin All The Stuffs and Knit All The Things for more details!
