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.

Inspiration for the day....week....month?
Not much knitting time. I'm working long hours to try and get everything ready for that first show. I want to have a good variety of items and I have had my aunt send in some cloth from FL. I've got a few more pieces from my mom too. I would rather have a booth of all originals than to have 4 of the same thing. In fact I don't think I will have too many duplicates. I get a few minutes of knitting time on Rosedale here and there, but nothing picture worthy. What I have been doing is looking for projects to do while I'm at the show. I'll bring my spindle and have a go with that but I'll also bring a few projects. Wanna see what's coming up?
A sweater from Men In Knits for the Husbeast. He wants it in black.This will be the next project but since I hate large needles (these will be 10-11 depending on my gauge) I will be working on another smaller gauge sweater. Afterall, I don't need to finish this until the fall.
Nothing too exciting, I have a feeling it will be pretty once its done though. Its a sweater kit I traded pottery for at SPA. I love it. Thank you Carol. 
This is all those projects I've been wanting to make for a while, all in one. Pretty handpainted yarn. Lace project. Leaves. A shawl for me. Didn't know I liked leaves? For some reason I'm a little obsessed with leaves and swirlies. I have a tattoo of it, the next tattoo will have leaves in it, and most of my pottery has leaves and swirls on it. I am actually thinking of casting on for this now. the more I talk about it the more I want to do it. Must. not. cast. on. new. project.............. Must. finish. Rosedale....... Its sheer torture. 
I have this giant ball of acrylic yarn. I've had since I was a kid, about 20 years. Its moved around the stash for a long time and I love it so I can't get rid of it. I think its probably about time I do something with what is most likely the oldest yarn in my stash. I'm thinking it might make a nice tank. Or maybe some type of skirt. Ideas?
This will most likely be the item I take to the shows with me. Its going to be the boob loop. huh? I'm calling it "boob loop" because its not going to be The Paris Loop
and it won't be the The boob tube.
But it will be based on those ideas just with ribs and maybe cables.
