New Boots and Not Toe-Up

Firstly, I scored these cute, cute, cute boots at the Lucky store at MOA.

10 minutes = new boots.


Nextly, do not ever let me toe up again.














Pee Ess: I do NOT love this pattern, have complained about it since beginning, and do NOT LOVE this pattern even more!

Yarn for the Stash

Yarnerly goodness from Yarnover!

Yarnover

Sea of sweaters from Meg Swanson's Two-Color Knitting class (and similar fare of EPS class) at Yarnover, MKG in MN.

Fuzzy Mittens

I received a package of fuzzy, warm goodliness the other day . . . results from sharing. Completely unexpected. Little did the giver know, I was having one of my craptastic days. This kind gesture made my day much better . . . much, much better!














And, I loved the little crafted note . . .

Spoons

"Needled", aka: Kate Davies (of Paperdoll Sweater and Owls Sweater fame), has been blogging of her stroke recovery. I LOVE, love, LoVe her knitting and wish her wellness right off! She blogged about having "spoons" today . . . worth a read here:

Click on the "spoons" link that Kate put up . . . this is how I have felt for exactly one year (from Easter Sunday last year when I suspect I first got sick). Aargh.

But, then, I got nothing on Kate.

"Needled" also wrote an amazing article in Rowan Magazine 47! I linked to Sticks on my blog page. Worth another read!

NOTE: In two weeks, I will have a Yarnover hangover!

Cheering Buddy

This red bear guy has been my Cheering Buddy this week . . . as you can tell, not a lot of sympathy. Does not take a lot of back talk. Whining does nothing.














Cute, tho!

I think I'll knit him a sweater.

Yummy Soft Scarf

This yummy wool scarf was naturally-dyed by "Stockholm Botanicals".

Dyed with marigold flowers using a unique technique that intrigues me--a skiff of magic with some extra-good stuff sprinkled in, then slightly stewed and given a little waAHh-lahh, I believe!
