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.

Orange you glad its not Banana Yellow?
I took this pic for several reasons.
1.The scarf, look! Aint it pretty. I didn't have enough of the yarn to do anything larger than a vest so its settled on mittens and scarf because I don't think a vest will look good on me in that color. Can you say "crossing guard"? The pattern for the scarf isn't Wendy's afterall, I made up one based on an old sock pattern I had. So I'll post that pattern as soon as I get a little page built for it. the scarf is going to have giant tassles at the points. I should have enough left over to do part of a hat so I'm going to try and spin some matching yarn in other colors and do a stripey or fair isle hat. Mittens and scarf first, though.
2. I'm wearing my fav shirt although you really can't see it. I love the Ramones and its too bad I'll never see them again in concert. I also wanted to see how well that orange might look on me, the camera/flash shows a much truer look than the mirror.
3. I may be loosing my favorite knitting chair and I wanted a pic of it in all its glory with my little swatches pinned to it and bagged projects hanging from it. Why might I loose it. I was thinking/trying to turn a corner of my living room into knitting/spinning central. My husband wants to turn the living room into a media room. Right now it has his tv and sound system and all and a bunch of other stuff. its a regular chock full o crap living room. Since he has no other room in the house to himself I figured I'd let him have the living room and bigger tv. I usually resist any thought of more electronic crap but he absolutely deserves it. He deserves a room to feel comfortable in. I may loose my chair as there may no longer be any room for it in the set up that he wants. Hopefully we'll get some new furniture so that if my chair is gone there will be something I'm comfortable in. So today I'm bringing all my extra knitting spinning stuff downstairs to my workshop to try and makeway for the new "media room". I know it won't happen right off, but I want to show that he will get the room that he will be comfortable in sooner than later
I wanted to mention that yesterday I spent the day with a bunch of knitty/spinny fabulous ladies who I will see next month again for the Spa Knit and Spin if you live in the New England are you need to check it out. Also take a look at the afghan we were working on. Well, I shouldn't say we because I didn't do much or rather nothing that lasted. I was working on a strip that had a square that was put on wrong side up and didn't notice that until I had gotten it done. So my work and someone elses was ripped to correct that mistake and by that time I needed to leave. So the other ladies did a great job on it all and its really beautiful. If you want raffle tickets contact one of the other participants or myself. I volunteered to make some sort of web page or bloggy thing for this all so if that happens I'll make a post and link.
