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.

Coming soon to a Connecticut near you.

The end of the week I'll be invading Connecticut. Mom has a show there and my daughter and I are tagging along to help out. Should be interesting and I hope to get a ton of knitting done. I've already written down addresses of yarn stores and I'm starting to pack extra projects to bring with me. You read correctly, I've been packing. While husbeast will start packing 15 minutes after we're supposed to leave, I start to pack a week before I leave. I have to admit he's getting better, but this weekend he is staying home as punishment. No, he's working and is invited to come down over the weekend if he wants to. I made myself a new bag to take with me. Not that I really needed a new bag, but who could pass up hot furry cow. It looks crooked but I assure its cute.

I got in a bit of spinning time this weekend. I tried my hand at super thick and thin single ply yarn. It came out really good. It took a bit of time to get the hang of it but once I did, it was fun. I can see why so many people make this type of yarn. Sorry, no picture of that one but I did get a bad photo of a yarn I'm extremely happy with. I had put M's sweater on hold I think mostly because I was unhappy with the yarn. I am keeping the Tequila sun yarn and adding this and a solid burgundy as stripes. Horrible photo, I wish you could see it in real life, its nice.

I can't wait to make more of this yarn to be used as socks for me. The other yarn I worked on was the llama blend. Its soft and lush but I'm not thrilled with the color. So I did a test dye on some of it that I had already spun up.

Greens and red/burgundies. I like the variegated but I think I want either A. Camo colors, B. Red/Burgundy Variegated, C. Solid Green, D. Solid Burgundy. What would you do?

oh wow - way cool. I saw that on Blogger and I'm not sure I want to use it. I'll just watch yours - you little Guinea Pig, you. Very cool yarn! Very cool socks for mom! Very cool comment (thank you! - I knew I was right! ;-D)!

I like the fall colors that you have already, but if I have to choose, my first reaction is to go with the red/burgundy combination just because I love the colors, but I'm trying to break out of my rut. I think the range of greens you have in there is gorgeous. Go with the camo. Or, make smaller color variations in the green so you still get visual interest but present an overall impression of a solid. --Ann
