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.

Me and Chubby Checker checking our twist
I overtiwst. I suspected it, but now I know. Knowing is half the battle right. I'm no longer in denial. I know it. I'm working on it. In order to make a skein of navajo 3 ply I had to untwist my singles a bit. After I did that, it came out beautiful. Its now drying over the shower rod in the bathroom. I'll show it off tomorrow. Its not exciting to anyone but me, but that's why its my blog. :P 
I finished my socks last night. Here they are blocked and drying. That was probably the quickest I've knit adult socks. I started them Friday afternoon. Finished them last night and I didn't feel like I worked on them much. Must be the thickish handspun and the US 5 needles. I've gotten used to doing socks on size 0 or 1. I like this quickness. 
Do you know what that is? Tameson was walking around the NETA spa weekedn knitting with a string of yarn coming from her waist. Ok, I've seen the bra yarn holder but was skein of yarn tucked into her panties? This ingenious little hook is a waist hook that holds onto your yarn so you can walk around easier. I need this for the treadmill. It can be purchased online at Norsk Fjord FIber.
Key Lime Martini
I went looking for a recipe online. Yuck! The ones online all have cream in it. One even said to garnish with grahm cracker crumbs on the glass rim. Egads! The ones we had were with Vanilla Vodka, Lime juice, Cap'n Morgans, and coconut rum. I think that's it. I may just need to go back to get a recipe.
I did this up thinking of making something manly. I took the manliest colors I had, teal, brown and blue and threw them together. This will be the next hadnspun socks. It will be a bit before I get to it. How many projects do I have a head of this? Too many?
I'm off to make pottery. I'm working on a tea set for someone. She alredy purchased the teapot but I forgot about the cups and saucers. I feel really bad and am now working on it. Speaking of teapots, did you see the Sheep thrills teapot?
