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.

Link land
Have you seen the pretty gallery of Honeymooners at Julia's Blog. What a fabulous idea! I've decided to do a similar thing.
I give you, Your Gallery.
It's of all of the things you guys have made from my patterns. I love seeing how you changed materials or how you have personalized these patterns to make them "yours". If you have some photos you want to send me, I'll post you up there on the Boogie gallery.
I've moved my free patterns. I'm getting so many patterns I ahd to do something to organize them better so they too will be a link on the sidebar.
Free Patterns
I'm working on making little icons for all this stuff but I'm also trying to get my website up and going too. I'm selling baby things that my gram has made too. Cutie patootie things.
I also have a couple of fun linkages for you.
this little guy here is a trip. It's crochet but if you aren't a hooker then you could buy on of those darlings. I think I want a hot pink and orange one. Or just to make a million to hang around the house at Halloween.
This is the other fun linkage. I think its the way a picture pops up that kept me looking at this.
Last night was a first meeting of the SeaDog Knitters (that's not our group name, that's just where we met). We plan on meeting once a month. It's a small but great group, like 3 people small. We do know of others that may want to join. We'll post some dates soon so if any Mainers (or Maine visitors) are interested they can come hang out with us.
While there I knit on the rainbow sock but ripped back to the toe. the ribble pattern just didn't show up and it was agreed that frogging can be a good thing. So I ripped back and am doing it plain. It is still super pretty.
I also weighed out all the stuff I spun from the secret pal and it may just be enough to do a tank top in a similar lola pattern. Thank you Anj, for assuring me I'm not out of my mind about that pattern. The orange for some reason was just amazingly hot while this variegated picture they used on the pattern cover isn't quite so. I will have photos for you of the 2 lacy singles that I'll have to choose from. This sweater is knit mostly on size 0 needles. I have to search out some bamboo or wood US0(2mm) circulars. I've checked my LYS and all the crafty stores. Now its on to the internet I go. But before I go here is a pic of the silvery/plum (bottom) from my secret pal and the Indigo Moon Red Rainbow (top).
Hopefully I'll get most of it done over the weekend and then maybe the sun will be shining so I can get you a picture that actually shows the colors instead of being washed in flash. It's raining today and I'm going to put off going to visit a craft show until its not so wet. Fridays are a day off so its hereby declared spinning day!

Thank you all for the great comments. I just wanted to let you know that even if I don't respond directly that I do appreciate them. You guys are awesome!
Flattery will only get you everywhere.
It may look like candy, but don't eat it, I have a feeling it wouldn't be a good experience. Although the dog seems to like to eat raw wool. Yes we discourage it and she now has to be crated when we leave the house, but she has found wool that I forgot I had.
I will do more of Mandy red, but I need more wool to dye. I may just do some in lacy singles in Merino or Corriedale.
I am looking for the errata for socks socks socks, thanks for the heads up.
Lynn did a similar roving to my rainbow in which she made This Its gorgeous.
Have a great dry and beautiful weekend. Do you ever think on a weekend when someone say that, "I hope it rains. If it rains I get to stay inside and knit!"
