Ooooo oooooo

The first clue of Mystic Light came out today. it is going to be GORGEOUS. I have a goal of finishing the first clue today and I will post a photo tomorrow.

I have no really exciting photos of new knitting, but I do have a secret. I'm bi







Bi-Crafty that is! I can knit and crochet. In fact I crocheted a tablecloth for my mom once. When I had finished, I figured out that it had more than three miles of crochet cotton in it. Ah memories.

Anywho, number five mentioned that he really wanted slippers. Personally I don't think they are too gorgeous, but he really loves them. The soles are some handspun I had left from a pair of socks (doubled) and the tops are Paton's tweedy wool (also doubled). They are supposed to look like moccasins.

Maybe my crochet is just rusty??!! I hope that's all it is. Oh and I hadn't woven the ends in at photo time.



Monday night I went to Knit Nite and mostly worked on spinning the gray polypay. I also have one row left on the penultimate chart for Wings of a Dream so I'm making progress, but it would just be pictures of the same stuff over and over :S. come back tomorrow for something new woo hoo!

Ice Queen? King? Prince?

But first, a report on that dinner I had planned for last night. Well I was making pasta. I thought it would be very smart of me to go ahead and make dough for Italian bread with the breadmaker. I mean that's what the little beast is there for, no?

Well so I put in flour, sugar, salt, butter, milk and water. Sounds good right? Anything missing?


Turns out that indeed something WAS missing. When I took the dough out, it had not risen at all. Alas, no yeast. Dumbass. I had brought the little packet over, set it next to the breadmaker, but it didnt jump in all by itself! Who knew huh?!

Hockey puck with your pasta? No? Well hey whatever.

I just finished Ice Queen. Since my mom isn't here to model it for me, pretend.


Hey he offered. Now that it's done I can start something new (yay). I haven't decided exactly what it will be, but I can't wait! The Chief and I are going to Columbus for a wedding (quite possibly drunk photos to follow) of his Uncle Joe and soon to be Aunt Becky. That means lots of knitting time in the car.
