89 posts = 1st Blog anniversary
Let's celebrate!
I finished the Jaywalker's on Thursday.
Project Stats
Yarn: Claudia Handpainted / a little under 2 hanks / Purple Midnight
Needles: Inox #1 circulars
Pattern: Jaywalker Socks by Grumperina
Notes: Started 1/7/06 and finished 2/2/06. I love this pattern. I knit the smaller size. I think I'll knit a 1 x 1 rib for the cuff next time though.
Friday, I spent some time knitting the endless attached i-cord on the sweater(sorry no pictures yet) and drooling over the new Trekking stock at Commuknity. It's all Emy's fault! ;-) I couldn't help myself and bought three balls and a lovely jewelry case just perfect for keeping a pair of socks-in-progress.
I was annoyed at my disorganized stash, so the DH and I went to Ikea. Of course, I had to see what Swedish goodies were at the Cafe. These gummi cars are even better than Swedish fish.
After several hours, my stash was transformed from this....
To this:
I love my new yarn cabinet. We bought a different cabinet for the DH's stuff, which I forgot to take a picture of.
On Saturday, I started a pair of Garter rib socks for the DH.
They might get shoved aside for the Knitting Olympics though. I'm looking forward to creating my first fair isle project.
I've met many people, both in real life and virtually, who share the passion for knitting. Every single one of you have enriched my life in several ways. Thanks for reading!

Happy 'versary...looking forward to another year of fabulous projects!
I am so jealous of your cabinet!
Happy, happy blogaversary to you! Will we be seeing you at Stitches this year?
It's a good thing I'm not in SJ anymore... I might have beat you to some of that Trekking!
happy blog anniversary! yay! aren't knitting blogs great?
jeez, i want an ikea over here! that cabinet is awesome! it wouldn't match my room, but heck, my yarn would look great in it ;P
your socks came out really cute :) the stripes are very cool! doesn't look like there's much pooling--very good considering it's hand painted.
lovely trekking...i've only seen it in two colors: a slightly speckled ecru and black/orange/red. i hope my LYS gets more in soon...not like i NEED any more sock yarn, but it's always nice to have. hehe...
happy knitting, and good luck getting ready for the knitting olympics!

Happy Blog-iversary!! Love your yarn cabinet! Ikea rocks.

Oooh... you've got your own "yarn wall"! When I worked at a craft store in university, organizing the yarn wall was my favourite task....
Happy Blogiversary!
