Kasumi to you baby!

All,

Pretty productive weekend here in El Ranchito!! I finished a felted scarf project. I used Patons wool yarn and small river rocks to do those bumps...


I finished Origami...I don't like how it looks on me, but I'll wear it at home...it just makes my butt look huge! Like I really need help in that area! LOL

So as a reward for being so darn good, Señor hubby drove me into New Yawk to Habu...hee hee...you know what is coming!! yep you know...I picked up my project from weaving class and TADA bought some yarn!!!
($94.00 on yarn so far this year)
It looks so pretty on my coffee table...heee heee..am twitching with excitment....hee hee..am giddy...ok ok...ahem. I picked up two kits. The one sitting with the candle is Kasumi Triangle Scarf. The one in the middle is Kushu Kushu merino and silk (ooooooo ssssssssssssssilk) stainless steel scarf. Yep you read that correctly my lovelies! stainless steel yarn! The cool thing about the Kushu Kushu is the merino will felt and the silk stainless steel will hold a shape! On the far right is some random yarn I picked up to do a wrap. Slubby wool, soft soft merino and some cool cotton tape to use as fringe. The last one will be my own design.

Fiber alert! For any fiber addict planning on being in New York first half of 2007...Radical Lace Subversive Knitting exhibit is on view between Jan 25th and June 17! I will be there on Saturday! I am looking forward to seeing this exhibit. Check out the web site http://www.madmuseum.org

Well I am going back to my yarn...drats...actually I have to help Señor Hubby paint the basement family room...blah...

Take care of yourself!

Hugs
Marie

Can you Habu?

isn't it pretty?? A-129 in Ice Blue...the only thing that I don't like about Habu Yarns is the yarns don't have names...just numbers. It is a nice combo of 90% wool and 10% nylon. Am using honking big needles and will make a cool wrap/scarf. I love the color...very pretty blue. I am feeling better a little tired. All results are in...everything was benign (sp? can't spell right now) Am taking iron pills and vitamin c to help my body absorb the iron. Have gotten lots of rest. I've been a total slacker at work. I still get in at 6:00 a.m. but I leave between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. I started weight watchers yesterday. I just need to lose a little weight and am looking into the New York Health and Raquet club for exercise. Lola bird will be going for nice walks with me. What is up with the weather in NY lately? It is cold out. I put a jacket on to go to the Dr. I was cold! Have a great day! Enjoy! Marie

Weaving project in the sun

Image
Hello! It was a wacky crazy horrific week at work! There wasn't too much time to work on projects. I am working on one new baby blanket and of course my Weaving II project. Here is the inspiration picture along with the work in progress. A sunny spot full of the yarn I am using. Light blues through black with a tiny touch of yellow as an accent color. The warp is a light grey tencel. The weft is a mix of yarns. I have yarn from Habu there as well. Thank you for the nice comments on Hubby's garden. It has come a long way since we moved in. Here is a close up of the Dogwood flowers on the west side of the house. Enjoy the great weather! Hugs, Marie

Oh Yes Mr. Postman!!

Finally Friday...It is really Friday! This was the longest day in my life. Oh hecky yes I really didn't think I'd get through the week. Enough moaning! Mr. Postman, my favorite man in the world, brought some beautiful yarn to the cottage on S.I. I think I will set myself up with some delish Margaritas and start working on a new shawl. Is it for me or maybe a Christmas present...well time will tell! Here is the very delicate icy yarn draped over my dining room chair waiting to be rolled up. The yarn is so soft I can not wait to start in...oh boy! Good thing the Lola Monster isn't around...she loves to snatch yarn and run around like a maniac. There she is looking to see what to grab..hmm cake? Bag of yarn or finished shawl.. Enjoy the weekend! Marie
