I'm not allowed to buy new yarn. Period. I have 4 boxes full of airproof bags full of yarn and a huge bag of yarn of various weigths(mostly, leftover sock yarn and acrylic-great for Amigurumi!). and two smaller bags with wool for felting. and 5 more skeins of the same(in petrol) are going to be delivered in two weeks time.
'course, a big part of that is what my mother gave me from her stash. and most of the acrylic i bought a few years ago. but still. i have no fear that i'll run out of yarn any time soon :D

am making felted slippers in gorgeous Bordeaux for meself now. needed a break from the small crochet-hook, what's better than 10mm knitting needles?

The second sock for my Mom's socks is almost done - halfway down the foot. Next up is a pair for my sister, and the pattern is toe-up. I've never done toe-up, and I am excited to learn a new skill.

Then, I have a pretty pink for my oldest daughter's socks - I think the Lothlorien socks.

ooooh, them are pretty! they require cabling, don't they? haven't mastered that yet..

I believe they do. Cabling isn't that difficult - you just gotta pay attention. I cable without a cable needle; they get in the way.

they're also very pretty!:)

ya, i know. i'm just way too impatient to see good results, and at the moment i'm quite happy with making things that i actually can do and turn out pretty good. but there will be a time to learn new things:)

now, it's time to take a shower and go to bedsies-land. night-o!

Just don't be afraid of cabling, Sister. I found it rather simple.

I'm also too lazy to try more complicated things. I like quick, easy results. Keep meaning to learn cabling, but it hasn't happened so far.

Woken up by the snow plow an hour before I'd planned to get up. And I'd prefer not to look like a sleep-deprived zombie today.

It's been a good day for me so far - a job interview that went well, sunshine, snow, catbeast not being mad even though I smelled of dog, getting home early from the sales training, propagating some plants, and in a bit, chicken soup for dinner.

*hellos the Mint*

Chicken schoup is good, especially in Winter.

Sometimes there's no reason, Magpie.

Can you imagine how much more we could accomplish if we did not have to sleep?
