I love invites!!!!!!!!!

I got my RAVELRY INVITE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think that excited can explain how I am feeling! Time to have some fun!

on another note. Finished my granny square afghan, and I can't seem to get my husband out from under it! oh well, I guess I'll just have to make myself another one... I've spotted a few patterns already, that would be fun on ravelry!

Started on a vesty thing for myself... still plugging away through my Crochet Today patterns. I started this pattern before, and loved it. Ran out of the yarn and can't seem to find it anywhere. doesn't help that the wrapper from the skein had been lost in a freak campfire accident. Don't ask. Okay, I threw it in the campfire thinking it was garbage as I had another skein at home. Nope, no such luck.

This time I've gone for Elle's Pure Gold DK in color plum. It's a really fun yarn to work with, very light and very smooth. Pricing wasn't bad either, about $6-7 at my local yarn store It's a Stitch in Charlottesville, VA. I pass through there about once a week. I have to get my crack fix don't I?!?!

Off to Ravelry!

New Endeavors

After working with Yarn and other various fibers, I've begun to see what else I can put through my hook. I'm really enjoying wire. While it retains the look of crochet, you can bend and shape it to anything you like and no blocking is required! Plus this leads into the realm of embellishing for jewelry sake. I do love beads, and this is means that I can feed that side of my addiction.


So in this world I have found a great new bead store the Potomac Bead Company (I've been to the one in Hagerstown MD, and decided that I need to make frequent pilgrimages there) . They are attempting to create franchising opportunities.... hhhhmmmm.... I may have found my new job. The store is amazing! I spent several hours digging through bins of glass beads and seeing the mass of colors. It was like my crayon box was on crack!

I'll try to get pictures up soon of my crocheted wire explosion!
