Whirlwind

I went to Indiana this past weekend for Lauren's wedding. It was a gorgeous ceremony and I was so happy that I was able to go.

Cynthia was my savior. She drove me around and took me to a great LYS: Knitting Off Broadway. They had some really great sock yarns - too bad I'm not a sock knitter. Cynthia got this really cool yarn called Flat Feet. I got some Misti Alpaca Lace in pale, pale blue and pale, pale green.

I got back this morning and I'm so tired, I could fall over. I'm going to stare at the TV and knit Vince's scarf.

Hey. What's up?

I am posting from the library. My internet at home is a bit wonky right now. I did manage to get a few photos uploaded of the freshly completed items.

The Silk Garden hat v 2.0:

And a cute little felted box:

US Size 11
8 1/2" x 5 1/2" x 3"
Based on the pattern in Mason-Dixon Knitting

The box has shrunk down a little more since drying totally. I might give it another round of felting. I forgot how fun these are to knit. I made a very small square on for Mom for Christmas and really liked it. This one felted a little better. I went up a few needle sizes. I think I got it prefect this time.

A HUGE GIANT FANTASTICALLY ENORMOUS Thanks to Lauren for my Lurve Package! I love, love, love the yarn. It's mouthwatering. The Swiffers wil help keep my hardwood floors looking lovely for photoshoots.
And thanks to Cynthia for making me the most lovely stitch markers! I love the colors. They match my Hourglass perfectly!

Thanks so much you guys! I was having a really crappy day and that really brightened things up!

ETA: Photos! I got them uploaded! Woo!
