PUPPY SWEATER (oh, and some puppies ^_^)


Babies!!!
OH MY GOODNESS LOOKIT THAT FACE!!!

These little bundles of adorable are for sale if anyone in the Wisconsin area is interested. They're 10 weeks old and my mom's. Her lovely purebred boxer Buffy had them a while back and my mom needs to find good, loving homes for them. She had them all sold but 4 people backed out last minute. I think she has 2 boys and 2 girls left, though I'm not sure. Anyway, they are so freaking cute it makes my fingers twitch. I JUST WANT TO PET THEM TO DEATH! Anyway...

Apollo was not pleased to be my model. You can tell by that permanent scowl on his face. I mean... he kind of always has that scowl, but he's definitely a little more annoyed than usual here. I finished my Lady Victoria sweater last night, and will be compensated generously :}. I shall write up the pattern eventually... maybe. According to the people in my knitting group, I should. We'll see. I didn't take too many notes toward the end but... I might be able to fudge it.


This is the lower part. There's a loop and button closure. I just hope it fits the big lady.

Staghorn Scarf Pattern

Staghorn                                   The yarn you use and needle size probably doesn't make a lick of a difference. I used Vanna White's line of yarn because I loved the color, it was super soft, and cheap. It took 1 1/2 balls of yarn. I used size 10 1/2 needles (6.5 mm). Abbreviations: k: knit p: purl sl1kw: slip 1st stitch knit-wise sl1pw: slip 1st stitch purl-wise BC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the back, k2, k2 from cable needle FC: place 2sts on a cable needle in the front, k2, k2 from cable needle Cast on 30 stitches. Row 1 (WS and   all  other wrong side rows): sl1pw, k2, p2, k2, p16, k2, p2, k2, p1. Row 2: sl1kw, p2, k2, p2, k4, BC, FC, k4, p2, k2, p2, k1.  Row 4: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, k2, BC, k4, FC, k2, p2, k2, p2, k1. Row 6: sl1kw,  p2, k2, p2, BC, k8, FC, p2, k2,  p2, k1. Repeat rows 1-6 until desired length.* Cast off while following the WS of the pattern, it looked most natural casting off after Row 2. *My fav

YAYSPIN! (And Crazy Cat Lady Shenanigans)

Hey there my lovely yarnies! I'm trying to raise funds to buy a real spinning wheel (which will hopefully cut my spinning yarn time down by like 75%!). The PVC wonder that my boyfriend made me has finally spun it's last yard. One of the sides actually broke off and flew across the room at a great speed (a little scary, as we have 3 fish tanks in my living room >.> ) ANYWAY, I'm doing this promotional code (YAYSPIN) because I have a wheel lined up to buy, just need $200 to get it and ship it from Colorado. My Etsy store, as you may already know, is LadyPurl.Etsy.com - all yarn is geeky inspired and I do custom colorway orders all the time. Christmas is just like... 20 Saturdays away right? So even if you don't knit, maybe a friend or loved one of yours does? ^_____^ Also, for anyone interested in how the constellation shawl turned out, IT IS SO GORGEOUS. And it's new mommy has it and loves it dearly. I laid it out to take a nice picture of it, and
