I know that made some of you snort your drink out through your nose with laughter & shock but I am! I am an angel for the sp8 round & was contacted with a new sp this morning. I have been online all day looking for things, shopping for things. So far I have an order coming from helloyarn, some roving she wanted and 2 books from amazon. I am trying to work it in 3 packages. The first package will be a sock package. She wants to learn socks & mentioned Nancy Bush’s book. So that is what she’ll get along with some Fixation yarn, Sock Garden from Knitpicks, and a ball of my own dyed sock yarn. That is a good start I think. Plus a lotion bar, of course, and some other fun little knitting goodies. I won a fabulous lot of vintage knitting needles & accessories not long ago on ebay and my new sp likes vintage things so she’s getting some of the more fun sets. And since she is so new to knitting I am sending her a couple sets of vintage dpn’s, see through plastic that have the greatest tips! I am so glad that she will appreciate them & not just think they are old. Don’t worry, I asked her straight out if she would like vintage knitting items.

I have been working on the Mystery Stole2 and of course I had to go ahead  & design the cream colored pointelle sweater that I posted a picture of yesterday. I did my gauge in pattern & stockinette then I went ahead & cast on. Size 3 needles, 300 sts!!! Whew! X-files helped a lot with that tedious process & then the first 4 rows.

Lunchtime, gotta go!
