Yarn stuff

Not a very catchy title? Sorry I'm combining yarn, crochet and knooking into one post.

First the yarn.

The pink and red will make two Christmas dresses. I will add the white with silver (below) to make the dresses. The lavender and light pink is used for baby sock yarn. Who knew? A certain yarn for making baby socks.

I have several crochet projects going. I kinda got hung up on crocheting to the point that my fingers started going numb and my entire arm hurt. Overkill? So I had to take a few days off. Plus I've promised myself "no more crocheting or knooking all day and night."

Lacy got me this crochet book.

Of course, I want to make everything in the book. I started with Pig Security Blanket but I stopped because Chelsi's feet are so teeny her socks won't stay on. The socks are in this book also.

I'm also making her a sweater but I only work on that when I go to Sit 'n Stitch. lol I can work on that without counting, that way I can talk.

And last but certainly not least, I've been learning to use the Knook. The first stitch which was the knit stitch came real easy to me and I made several rows. I know so little about knitting I had to google knit stitch so I knew if mine looked right. The next stitch was the Purl stitch, I also had to google to see what it looked like.

Happy stitching!

I won!!

Cheryl over at Living in a Material World was giving away a Knook. Well, I couldn't hit comment fast enough as I had been wanting one of these since Leisure Arts started advertising them. I was so tickled that I won.

If you don't know Cheryl you need to scoot on over to her blog as Cheryl is an editor over at Leisure Arts and she writes about interesting things and gives little peeks of books that are coming out.

Yes, I have played with it a little but I over used my arm crocheting and now my carpal tunnel is really aggravated.

Happy stitching!!
