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.

My Husbeast bought me a bra.
You are probably expecting me to describe some crazy medieval torture device. Somthing with extra wires and spangles or something with hardly any material at all. Something that was bought with the idea of having it for visual pleasure and something that I couldn't/wouldn't possibly wear for any longer than it took for some thing pop loose.
I explained to the husbeast, the finer art of bra shopping, to which I believe he replied how happy he was that he didn't have to deal with these things. Darn straight. Bra's stink and at one time I was so flat that I didn't need one. Ahhh those were the days. This bra is the most comfortable bra I've ever owned. Go get one. Perfect for summer tops with a "t" back or really bare shoulders. I'm now searching for patterns with a "t" back. Like this top Although that may be too skinny in the back, until I adjust it of course.
While I know you really wanted to hear about my bra, I do have knitting news. Rosedale is done. She's happily laying in the spare junk room. I've been knitting other things and spinning. So here it is in the order I remember it. 
I finished this Saturday morning. No, you can't see it all. She's blocking quietly and I want to keep her that way. Plus I like being a tease.
I finished these soon after. The blue is the denimy one that I made for my dad. I think he deserves another pair of socks. As soon as I get done with M's ruffly ones, I'll start on these. The red is an experiment. I'm done with that. I'll probably use that yarn for heels and toes. 
I started on this. I decided I didn't want the rainbow variegated yarn for my shawl so I pulled out this batt that I got from Grafton Fibers. It was so pretty all rolled up and then I unrolled it. I just had to take a picture of it. I'm spinning it up to be fingering weight (I hope). I'm not really good at gauging weight yet. 
I started the Boob Loop. I finished the back of M's sweater and started the front. I knit on her socks and frogged. Then I knit again and frogged again. Then I knit again and frogged again. So I sent them to their bag without supper and they are to think about the hard time they are giving me. They cannot come out until they apologize. I also measured the giant husbeast and I have to add a couple of inches to the pattern for his sweater. So I've got part of it re-written and will change the rest as I go along. After I get that started I'm going to start another sweater for me, I forgot to show the pic for it the other day when I was running down my list of inspiration. This yarn has been sitting next to my chair for a few weeks now. 
Even though I have a bunch of projects started I feel in limbo. I want to do something, but I just can't seem to decide what it is. I'm hoping that after this show is over that I will be able to think clearly. Hopefully sitting there at the show, I will get some of the easier small projects out of the way.
I know you may have noticed the big changes (color) of my blog but there were other little changes. I took away all my political stuff. After reading a bunch of topics in the Knitters review forums, I realized that I wanted my blog to be politic free. I have really strong political beliefs but I'm going to do my best to keep my big mouth shut when I'm knitting. The referer system got taken away but I found a new one. I know some of you out there were sad to see your own referer thingy go. Check out the bottom of my page and get yourself a new one.
I almost forgot. I've been working on my website. The husbeast helped me get the new one runnign but for the time being I had started this on the pottery site. I'll get it switched and the new site built eventually.
