more new yarn and a jaywalker

So I got some more new yarn from swap bot today very nice. I also finished the first of tay's jalwakers.

socks on socks off

So I finished my circle socks using groovy gryffendor. They knitted up so amazingly I cant wait to send them off to my swap buddy. I am going to be buying more yarn from her that is for sure she has amazing quality.

Again I need to mention that the colors are way better then this picture does for them since I am still taking pictures with my cell phone.

I am about to cast on Jaywalkers using Slytherin yarn from
selana. This yarn is great looking to and has large sections of colors. There ones are for Tagge he picked the pattern so we shall see what happens.

swap alot

So I did a quick swap count today and I am in 18 on swap bot and three on Ravelry man these things are addicting.
I am currently amassing a huge amount of sock yarn which I am hiding in a brown paper bag like someone with a drinking problem or something. I mean can you ever really have a yarn hording problem. oh my am i a horder... next thing you know i will be a divorcee with 20 cats..
Agenda for tomorrow I need to get yarn for 2 to three swap partners- one needs a pattern
Also yarn for my bag for hogwarts swap and then i am golden

New swap bot swap

So I started a new sock yarn swap. Theme April Showers... any yarn that makes you think about early spring yarn. Growing up in New England I look forward to the early spring rain because it means winter is ending. I would like to note this swap bot stuff is addictive ....

yippie

the following pic are some yarns I got from other swaps this week

lorna's laces

So I just bought 7 little cans of paint on ebay what the heck is wrong with me. I am about to have more sock yarn then I can ever possible use.

wip

The socks I am working on are looking good. I dont think i am going to knit socks for a swap again i wanna keep them. I really like this pattern as I was quickly able to set it in my brain

I know what to cast on next

Not much more to say other then that... They are for a swap so I wont even get to keep them boo hoo...

in which knitting wont let me sleep

Ok so i finished my first little can of paint and now what. I feel like I can go to bed till i have something on the needles. The Ironic thing is I was sleepy a while aga and decided I could go to sleep until i finished the toe as I had just started decreasing.

I would cast on but I dont know what to cast on... more socks for me...socks for harry potter swap... bag for harry potter swap(the other one)... I am getting a pair done a week or so... so i have time for the full knitted swaps but should i really wait till the last minute.
The real problem here is i am waiting on yarn I ordered from Etsy.com and I dont know if i will knit that or the yarn i got earlier... grr I guess in the end choices should not be made at 230 am.

I guess maybe a round on the blue lapgan is in order--- this is something i bound off before it was the size i wanted only so i could cast on something else how crazy is that. Now around and around I go with a crochet hook.

In which I vote somewhere that is not NH

So this was my first election that was not in NH. I get it now. I see why there are people in the country who think we ought to have a national election I got my ballot with about 8 people listed on it yet only two of the people are still in the race. How different would the race be if everyone was still in the election... Bill Richards dropped out the day after NH Edwards about a week later dammit what if. Not only that what a huge waste of money since they pay a fee to each state to be on the ballots and at the time they are doing so they still think they have a chance...

In which I buy more Sock Yarn

So my local yarn store was having a super bowl sale so you know I had to go...
I got enough yarn for three more pairs of socks and none for swap partners and I say I need three more by V-day. I got another little can of paint more for the container then the yarn, dont get me wrong the yarn is great and I am fond of Lornas Laces but I love the little cans.

I found some great green yarns for the one I am holding but didnt buy it, why you ask because there might be better out there. Although this is a color specified swap I still want it to be right for the swapee.

So now here I sit thinking maybe I should go back and get more... lol Ndebe is going to kill me.
