Grrrl Interrupted!

Hello all I am going to start a preview of what may or may not come to pass in the next year.

I am starting out with some lovely pretty yarn, complements of an on-line friend and indie dyer, spinner and jewelry maker who goes by the handle of SoftnShiny!

So it's hard to tell but this is 2 skeins of lovely shades of pink with black streaks.
I saw the yarn colour from her on line store on another weight of yarn. This is a fingering or sockweight yarn. It is 400 yrds of Merino/nylon blend.
It is to become the popular pattern found on ravelry or at knitty.com the clapotis. So I have decided to name this project "Grrl clapotis interrupted!"
You will follow the progress of this and many other things in the new year!
This is just a tease!

Knitting!

STASHBUSTERS UPDATE!

Here was day 2 of my project!
Stashbuster4
It has since grown again, but there isn't a photo currently available

The other part that is fun about this, is that my container that holds all my yarn, is no longer over flowing. I haven't used everything yet, but it is only a matter of time!

Here are a few more things I have recently created:

WHO YOU GONNA CALL? STASHBUSTERS!

Good morning one & all!
I know it has been a long time since I kept this up!
Well now is the time to start it up again.
I have become a more crazy knitter/Crocheter in the last little while. I get immense pleasure doing it. It is helping to feed my artistic needs somewhat.
Today I will be starting the story of a Granny Square that is  slow growing into something big.

FIRST SOME BACKGROUND!
On Ravelry (Knitter Facebook but so much better!) I am part of a group that bases itself on the Harry Potter books. I won't go into a long winded explanation here right now.
One of the "assignments" for the non-term month is crochet a square.
I went through my stash & picked some yarn that I knew wasn't enough for a project & started the square.
While waiting for clarification on size, it continued to grow.

This will be the story of it's growth

Day 1:

This is my work as of 3pm April 7, 2011
7 rounds of granny square goodness!

Hello 2011

I am back & I will try to keep this going.
Overall, life is good.
My current obsession is knitting. So this may become the place to talk about my knitting adventures. There will be lots of them.

I will talk about other things, like my love of music, tv, movies & many other things.

So I hope you'll join in my new journey!

Peace!
