Vote, Roving for Sale & Some Knitting

Just a reminder..... Don't forget to vote daily for Nikki. There are only a few days left and we want her to win. I honestly think that she is the best. I know that she is James' favorite. I let him look at the illustrations and he picked hers with no guidance. So it is stories for children and my child picked Nikki, so we both think that she is the best.

In other news... I have 3 rovings dyed up. The 4th is steaming and will need rinsed, washed and dried before I can get a picture. The one that is marinating is Snips and Snails. It is a blue, green and yellow.

Hot Momma - Merino Superwash 4oz - $14.00 + shipping




Green Eggs N Ham - Merino Superwash 4oz - $14.00 + shipping - SOLD - THANK YOU




Fall Leaves - Merino Superwash 3 7/8oz - $9.00 + shipping (this is discounted since I was a little zealous and moved the roving a bit too much so when I picked it up out of the water it had twisted on top of itself and it separated into multiple sections. There is nothing wrong with it, just not in one long strip). - SOLD - THANK YOU






There has been knitting as well! Can you believe it? I am working on a pair of socks. I figure start small and work my way up. ;) They are the Sweet Dreams Socks from Dream in Color in their Smooshy Sock in the Deep Seaflower colorway. I have finished 1 sock and have turned the heal of the 2nd and I am ready to pick up stitches.


Sorry the pictures are hard to see. A dark yarn isn't the easiest to photograph. I am loving the pattern. Lace and cables and neither one too hard. A perfect combination.


Hopefully I will be able to get some BFL roving dyed this weekend. Saturday we will be going to another Antique Tractor Show so I will be sure to take some knitting with me. :)

If you are interested in any of the roving I listed let me know and it is yours. I ship to you the cheapest way possible or whatever your choice may be.

Have a Wonderful Weekend.

What's Wrong With Mud?

Angela of Purrrl-plexed has a friend Nikki who is an amazing artist and is the illustrator of a picture book that is a finalist in this year's ABC's Children's Picture book competition. The book is called "What's Wrong with Mud?". It is so darn cute.

If you could take a quick minute and go over every day and vote for her. It would be much appreciated.

Wool Gathering - Could You do Me a Favor if You Go?

Sadly I won't be making it this year. I would love to be able to meet up with so many of the bloggers that are going. We have family commitments to fulfill, so unless I can sneak away Sunday afternoon, I will be with you all in spirit. Maybe next year. *Sigh*

So could I ask you all to do me a favor? Could you stop by Susan's booth (her store is Ball & Skein) and take a look at my yarns? I don't expect you to buy them (though it would be nice ;) ), but if you could take a look at them and let me know which yarn base and colorway that you like the best. The colorway doesn't have to be on the same yarn. KWIM? I want honest opinions. I am always looking for ways to improve.

I truly appreciate your time doing this. A contest just might come out of this. ;)
