Okay, we've already established that I'm an inconsistent blogger. I do so want to be better, but it's very difficult, after a full day sitting in front of the computer doing things I don't want to do, to then return home and write about the fun stuff. We'll say that my mid-year resolution is to improve on this note. I've heard that it really takes weekly posting at a minimum to blog, and I'm just not there yet. My Examiner.com responsibilities seem to trump those of The Drowsy Knitter and my even-more-neglected ReaderReader. But, I started each of these with a mission, so attention they will get!
I'm inspired by the anticipation of yet another big order from WEBS/Yarn.com. The Ladies and I have banded together once again to meet the $120 minimum that earns the 25% discount. Unfortunately (fortunately?) we went way beyond the minimum. My anticipated projects from said box of glory:
- Fiddlehead Mittens by helloyarn. I've been eyeing these for a while and have them planned in Rowan Scottish Tweed, with RYC Silk Wool DK for the lining.
- Mom and Dad socks. I can't tell from the order history what I even bought, but I'm sure it's smashing. Some his and hers socks are sure to brighten their holiday (yes, I'm starting now).
- Socks for me! Pattern TBD. I loved knitting with the Dream in Color yarn so much that I'm going to give their sock yarn, Smooshy, a try.
Not overly ambitious, I think. I'm still working on my Diminishing Rib Cardigan, but as it's beyond portable size it's taking a breather. The arms are all that I have left at this point. Of course, there's no rush now that it's practically summer!
