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.

Only 1 Picture
Yup, I'm getting lazy. But I did arrange everything. 
Top Left: Unger Peach and white and Cleckheaton Purple. All very old and there is more where that came from. Grammy gave me them and their mates. They are all synthetic but they have enough nylon content that I think they will be nice summer socks. Yes, I'm thinking summer already, I have several tank top projects set aside, waiting patiently. This yarn does need to air out for a while, in fact the bag is sitting here next to me and just smelling it, I feel like I'm sitting in the attic. Gram tried to explain to me a bit of her stashing yarn addiction and then looked at me and said, I don't need to explain to you, you know, and then hands me more yarn for my stash. She has her own method of stash redistribution. From her house to mine. I'm not complaining, this will help with my idea that I'm not buying anymore yarn until I finish a few projects.
Top Right:M's cardi. See, I told you I started it. 3 rows. See the yarn still in hank form, I finished that yesterday.
Bottom Left: Regia socks. One done and one to go. Now that I've been working with my own handspun, commercial yarns no longer excite me to work with them. I still will drool over them in catalogs and at my LYS but I would rather knit with my own handspun.
Bottom Right:The much neglected Urban Aran. I did a couple of rows on that last night. I figure if I do a couple of rows each night I should have it finished sometime next year.
That's it. I've been dong too much pottery and sewing to do much else. I hope to finish those socks soon I want to start on some more handspun ones to get them done before spring hits. I need more time. If anyone figures out how to pack a 36 hour day into 24 hours, let me know.
