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.

Accessories
Every girl needs accessories.
Every girl's swing is no exception.
This was my first attempt to accessorize.
That is the ultimate use isn't it?
I remember seeing someone else using a swing in that manner and thinking, "hmmm, now I KNOW I need a swing". It is handy for hanging the wool in the breeze to dry and also to keep the sun off of it.
Wool is the perfect accessory for everything but for an outdoor swing it is fleeting.
Later that day I decided to try my hand at a more permanent way to pretty up the little gal
I took this pic this morning, I can't wait for sunlight anymore. Can you see the twinkly xmas lights? I can now knit out there when its dark. I've moved half the house plants outside for the summer.The other half of the house plants will be used to accessorize the other side. Yes, that is dog butt on the left side. That and the other dog butt are only decorations when they are in the mood or want to show me what dead thing they just rolled in. I tend not to work them into the decorating picture as they are so fickle. I do need to think of them when I dress, though. Hint: match your pet to your favorite colors, I wear a lot of black.
Thank you all for comments about the Urban Cardi. You are all really sweet. We haven't had a drop of sunlight here in over a week so I'm surprised the pics came out as well as they did. I made an attempt (sans sunlight of course) to take a pic so you can see what the zipper and all looks like. One of the pics made it look puckery and its not.
I redid the zipper on my Rosedale too. I've slowly been working on Mom's socks. I should get them done in another day or so and then start on my socks for the Six sock along. Speaking of knit alongs. I decided to join one of the Charlotte's Web ones. My yarn arrived, although its at the shop so I haven't seen it yet. Now I need to decide if I should finish Highland Triangle first or set it aside and go full throttle with Charlotte.
I'll be leaving for my show tomorrow morning so I'll have time to set up and possibly de-stress a bit. I'll be staying down the street from Patternworks. Talk about temptations! I know I shouldn't go as I'm saving up for the Maine Fiber Frolic in a couple of weeks. I'm hoping to score a drum carder and a fleece.
Have a good weekend all, and a happy Memorial Day to all the US folks. I'll be back on Tuesday unless I can score an extra vacation day.
