The second sleeve of CPRRL is done! YES!. I'm going to go out on a limb and set it for blocking tonight after the runions go to sleep. In the meantime I'm going to start my Fuzzy Feet. I'm using the Lamb's Pride Bulky I got the other day. Yes, I know. The pattern calls for worsted weight. Oops. I'm certainly not going to plunk down more money for more yarn(OMG did I just SAY THAT?!), when I can easily adapt the pattern to fit the bigger yarn. After all the slippers are really just a BIG ass sock, felted down to size, right? Right.
I finished the second Janet Evanovich book, and I'm in withdrawals already :)). :oops:
That's all for right now :))
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
edit to add:
BAM! What a haul! I got a notice from the Post Office about a package I'd missed yesterday. Thought it was something hubby ordered from ebay but I had to go out so I figured I'd get it myself. And what do you think it was? DING DING DING! You got it! My Secret Pal came through again!
Oh you got me SP, you really did. I opened the packet of 'rattlesnake eggs' and about fell out :)) ThangQ for the laugh! I let out a whoop and Hubby said, "What the hell?!" I had to hurry up and put it back together so I could scare him with it too! I'm writing down a list of people I wanna 'get' with that :lol:
Then there's: 3, not one, not two, but THREE skeins of Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky!! :D *squints her eyes and giggles* eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... I have no idea what I'll do with it. But some felting seems in order!! Then again maybe not, because my Pal also sent me:
a bulky yarn slipper pattern(not felted), so maybe I'll use it for those. Also She sent me a printout of some really funny signs as seen on the highways and biways of our country! Totally hilarious! I was just about to go get some more needles for weaving in ends; but now I don't have to because I also received 3 wool needles, with wide eyes for threading thick yarns! I get so frustrated with trying to thread big needles that still have regular-sized eyes.
If you look closely you'll see a green wire. It's a sample of the kind of wire I'd need for making blocking forms. I'm not sure what my Pal meant about this as I don't really use forms, but I'm sure it'll come in handy.
And Ooh OOH. See the small plastic bag with the Tofu in it? That's Tofu and Ghirardelli(YES!) chocolate morsels for making FUDGE, complete with a fudge recipe to make !! I just need to get my blender back from my friend and I'm gonna go fudge myself! :lol:
I'm not done yet, though, as my pal also send me some more pocket-sized goodies. In that brown paisley print bag(which is a small-project bag I can wear AROUND MY WAIST!! complete with little areas for dpn's and circs), I also found a Gauge Wizard ruler, and collector's Pyrite(fool's gold), Amethyst, and Geode crystal rocks!! I don't want to break the Geode like it says to.. Or should I? :twisted:
I'm still tickled with the 'rattlesnake eggs'... should I try them on my daughter? :twisted: nah. I'll be a nice mommy tonight! :lol:
Wooooooo ThangQ my Secret Pal, you're the best!! I'm REALLY starting to wonder who you are!
And check THIS out:
This is one of the Fuzzy Feet, pre felting. I don't know about this one. I sure hope it comes out right. I'm gonna go against common sense here and felt this first, to see if it'll be usable afterwards. I've found other knitters who've used the Bulky yarn for this pattern instead of the worsted it called for. So I really shouldn't have any problems.
We'll see.

Your SP is really spoiling you. I never(almost never) get stuff like that. I have to say almost cause a lady in Sherry's crochet group sent "me" a crocheted eagle fridge magnet.

Isent you the wire because I found someone online who is selling sets of them. You put the wires inside your sweater sleeve, or edge, then pin the wire to your board. It gives you a nice clean long line, not the sometimes bumpy one just pins give you. I use them for my scarves and shawls of lace, but now I will use them for my sweaters too. I was planning to get you some foam poster board from Joanns, have it sent to you for a blocking board, but its only $7 a sheet, and I think they will muck up the edges in shipping. So I abandoned that plan. Funny how you were wanting slippers too! I am sorry you got scared by the Rattlesnake eggs. They are fearsome. You are gratifying to send things to, I do think.
