Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Its a bird. Its a plane. Noooo its SuperSonnet!!!
Yes she is complete captain I finished last night, well except for the buttons. I wore it all day without buttons while I was running my errands so I could find buttons. I did take pictures of me wearing it. I thought I would take one of those slick pictures in the bathroom mirror. Only to realize I need to clean the mirror and I chopped part of me off. So in the spirit of Rachael from a couple of days ago, although her pics were way funnier, Here is the bad pic and here it is in focus and without dots.
Phew, glad that is done. So I started a vest last night. Today I got some handspun in the mail. Its this beautiful orangey stuff with slubs of yellow, red and white. Very nice stuff from Ebay. I plan on starting on my very first scarf. I know I know, most people start with scarves, but I've never made one. I really liked one that Wendy made. There is enough here to make mittens and maybe a hat too. Sure orange may not be my color but its too pretty of a yarn to not use. I may just give it away once its done. Ya never know. But I'm going to cast on for that later tonight.
I spent this morning at Halcyon Yarn playing with spinning wheels. My husband and I were talking and I couldn't give him a definite of the one I wanted so I went to make up my mind. I have chosen the one that I didn't think I would want. Its nice to have my mind made up. The Ashford Traditional Double Drive
