New WIP

with one comment

Finishing one project makes me want to finish all of them, but I have lots of slogging to go on the outstanding items (Noni purse, Coachella, NEB). I decided the perfect answer would be to cast on sometime small(er). Behold…
Dishcloth
The Ballband dishcloth from Mason-Dixon. I’m using a single color because that is what I have in the stash.

I also bought a ball winder this week and have had way too much fun. Here is a picture of the shelves that sit above our tee-vee.
Cakes of Yarn (+ NEB)
This is also where I store my WIPs while working on them. As you can see, the NEB is on the far right.

While looking at this picture, I’m reminded of the stamps I bought at the post office the other day.
You have new Picture Mail!
These are a nice complement to the yarn colors.

I’m such a nerd.

Adding to the Stash

without comments

My new yarn from LotusKnits arrived at work today. This is great, but…

…I’m not at work today. My mom is in town and I’ve taken a few days off. Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us Coworker A and Coworker B (with my permission) opened the box and admired the gorgeousness.Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us

While waiting for mom to wake up this morning (and since Jake doesn’t like for me to sleep in) I worked on the NEB for a while.
I finished a few rows and put it back where it lives in my house. It wasn’t even 9:30 AM and I already felt like I had done something productive today.

Coworker and I ran an errand for her during lunch. While we were out, we hit the LYS that was close to work. She was picking up yarn for her mom and I was along for the ride. While there, I decided to buy the yarn for Coachella. I bought four balls/skeins of Berroco Suede Tri-Color. I’m so excited to start it!!!

Additionally, the yarn I purchased from Fearless Fibers arrived today. It is absolutely gorgeous!! I’ve posted pictures of it on Ravelry and am looking for the best pattern to use with it.

PS: The NEB is going into hibernation for a while. :)
