This is where you can find me

If you were at all looking for me, I am not the biggest fan of tumblr, but I do intend to keep up with my new knit blog as regularly as is humanly possible for someone with way too much to do.

I think one of my problems is that I actually use my yarn almost as quickly as I buy it!

I have a rather serious problem with buying yarn this week.  This photo is representative of the yarns I picked up in the last 5 days, including 2 skeins of Alchemy Juniper in Pewter, 2 skeins Claudia Handpainted Yarns in Raspberry, 6 skeins GGH Leona in 006 (white), 6 skeins GGH Safari in chocolate brown, 11 skeins Rowan Linen Drape in burgundy, 1 skein of Prism Lace Wool in 309 (purple).  I am going to take this opportunity to admit that I ordered just as much from Eat.Sleep.Knit and that order will be arriving shortly, which I will be sure to photograph and link up here :) On the photography note, I will be getting an actual digital camera at some point (around the time I stop spending all of my money on yarn or my birthday whichever comes first), and then I’ll be posting photos much more actively.

I got this Rowan Linen Drape in burgundy from a knitting store that is going out of business.  It was super discounted and I am loving it.  I’ve knit up a few inches of the dress it will become and the fabric it makes is really beautiful, rich in color while still being muted and natural.  I machine washed and dried my swatch and the color did not fade at all, nor were there any adverse effects, the only difference is that post laundering the strands “bloomed” a bit creating a more solid fabric that is softer to the touch. I hear this yarn is discontinued, but if you happen upon any I recommend buying it up!

No, this is not a dirty link…. This is a great and hysterical blog written by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.  She’s authored several books about knitting and her updates are always entertaining.  Worth checking out :)

Eat, Sleep, Knit!

This is one of my absolute favorite websites.  EatSleepKnit has crazy deals all the time, and every order comes with a scratch off ticket, you can win free yarn, free shipping, or store credit.

Basically I’m obsessed!  Any fanatic crafter will really enjoy browsing the sight… unless it’s just me?
