Poor Bea...

Well I guess that didn't work out so well did it? So very very sorry about the posts that were not.
I simply must make a time for it! I guess everything is that way though isn't it.

Well a quick update on some of my projects...

Bea the Basement monster is no more...Holding the yarn double to knit at such a tight gauge really made my arm hurt worse. SO sad. Perhaps Bea will be reincarnated at another time in a smaller gauge with only a single strand instead of two stands. Goodbye Bea...we will miss you!

On other notes, happier note....notes that slide up & down the scale....
Oh wait, not music, knitting. Yes...I have done lots of other projects while Bea languished in the knitting bag.
If you are looking for a quick cowl to knit up for a gift (or a gift to yourself), Bella's Cowl is a nice one. Looks great and is super fast! I have done 3 of these so far this year. I think I have reached my limit though!
I test knit a hat for a fellow raveler as well. That was fun! My first time doing owl cables.
So lots of things have been going on.
I have NOT been doing well with my goals so far this year. I have been knitting from my stash quite a bit but I have a TON of projects on the needles and I've been buying more than I ought.
SO this coming weekend is Madrona Fiber Festival - I am heading to that with a friend! Yay!
And after that I will work harder at being good!

If I don't get a chance to write between now and then I should be able to get back into the habit of writing regularly. I have lots of spinning to share with you all soon.
