Oh boy oh boy

So.. When I go overboard, I REALLY go overboard.

Meet my moms delicious, wonderful, melt in your mouth perfect No Bake Oatmeal Cookies. she made the mistake of giving me the recipe. This is one plate. 1/3 of the batch. and I made 2 batches, because I love them. And I made some for my landlord. And some for my landlords girlfriend. And some more for me. You get my point.

Anyway. To my knitting obsession...

My mom bought me a really cute little silver clutch at walmart. Ever since I've been on a clutch frenzy. This is a "Quick and classy clutch" from one skein wonders that i started. I also plan to make one in silver, black, and blue.

This, I love this yarn! I got it at a local yarn shop before I moved, but its "Mini Mochi" 80% merino wool and 20% nylon, from crystal palace yarns.

One skein is 195 yds/50gr and is 8.75 online (in the store i paid 9) So it is a bit spendy but so worth it (for smaller projects, in my opinion) So I am making armwarmers out of them :) I love how the yarn is self striping.       

And this is my 'to knit' box. Everything in there, I have a plan for. I have no life.

And, on a side note, I have one of the bestest big brothers in the world! I love you tommy :)

The things I wish for...

I have a very long "i wish/iwant" list...

• Yarn. (rainbow colors, wool, wool blend, bamboo/silk blend, shredded sari silk)
• Duck tape (blak, silver, pink, red, zebra, pink zebra, plaid, tie die)
• Black curtains (sheer, for my canopy bed, but I'm cheap and use just normal window curtains)
• Red, silky/satiny bedset.

ALSO, projects I want to complete...

• Rainbow scarf
• Circle scarf (no ends, all connected, have a green one started)
• DUCK TAPE! purses, totes and wallets

If only I had money..unlimited amounts of it









Click Clack goes the needles

Wowza! I've been doing nothing but knitting lately!

This is a bag I knitted, 100% recycled sari silk yarn, bamboo handles, and hot pink silk lining. (and it has a zipper!)

I've also knitted an aray of other things, such as.......

80% bamboo 20 % silk and lined with polyester coin purses

With the same yearn, 80% bamboo and 20% silk, i made two pairs of armwarmers, with cables running up on the thumb sides.

Also, of course, I've knitted a fair amount of scarves.

This are two lace sacrves, rolled and shoved in the yarn labels. Maroon sacrf is Wool Ease (a wool blend) and knit in a shell lace. The camo is classic wool (all wool) and knit in a vine lace.

I've been working on (for forever it seems) an acrylic strip scarf. Purple and black, with caron simply soft. (one of my favorite brands of yarns)



I've also been thinking about opening my own shop on etsy, but I'm not sure. I sell my stuff at a local shop, and get 70% of what they sell for, which is pretty good. I sell on average one or two things a month there. Tell me what you think, stay local or go global?
