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.

What? You won't take Yarn in payment?
So here I am thinking I'm going to be getting some cottons and blended yarn to start on summer projects soon. Nope I need to pay tax stuff. Yeah I was proud of myself for getting them started in December but I just brought them to my accountant and I know I have to give up the idea of getting more yarn anytime soon. I was all set to get some pretty pretty stuff from Roxi - see her Ebay auctions. I'll understand if you buy the one I want. So here I'm thinking of ways out of paying tax. Do you suppose they would take yarn in trade or if I sent a few gorgeous samples of what I'm getting. They would have to understand, right? Maybe the person at the IRS that opens my envelope would say, "oh, she's a fiber addict. oooh, this yarn is beautiful. " And stamp it ok for me to delay any payments. It could happen. 
Pretty roving. I've been dying up small bunches of rovings. Enough for mittens or hats etc. I want some projects to do on my spindle when I'm at shows and small amounts are about all I have the patience for on my spindle.

I finally bit into that red hot satin. I've been working on crochet hook holders for a while and finally I came up with this one. It was staring at me all along. A real "duh" moment. I just needed to make a smaller version of the knitting needle holders. Some days I wmazed myself with my smarts or lack there of. I've been sewing so much that I haven't had time to do much knitting. My goal for tonight is to finish the large Katharine bag and either finish the leg on the first M sock or the ribbing on rosedale.
