PlayPlay

Announcements (at the time I am getting these notes up, the announcements are obsolete.)

I finished the Elise Shawl (crocheted) out of the Color Changing Cotton (finally you’re done seeing it) and the Linen Placemat from 101 Crochet One-Skein Wonders.

I am working on the Serpentine Socks by Wendy Johnson, the Cerisara cardigan by Bonne Marie Burns, and the Stash Basket by Purl Soho for the Savvy Girls’ CAL.

I crawled some more.

Clinch River – I got Soak, a fancy hook, some Carbonz, and some Holiday yarn.

Smoky Mountain Spinnery – I got some luscious fiber and some Lantern Moon stitch markers.

Terri’s – I got some alpaca/silk yarn from a Tennessee farm.

I review 101 Crochet One Skein Wonders.  Don’t walk, run if you’re a crocheter to get this book.  Lots of great projects.  I’m working on the Linen Placemat out of Louet Euroflax out of this book.

In my life… Game of Thrones broke my heart, True Blood is on it’s way, and Downcast has changed the way I watch podcasts.
