FREAKING FINALLY!!!!!

Here are a few pics of our move to Asheville. As you can see, Boots did most of the driving. We had some trouble getting hooked back into civilization (translation: two weeks with five crazed dogs and three little boys no tv and no internet) EEKS!!!
So basically I heaved boxes around and made LOTS of STUFF. I want to show the stuff but I feel retarded about uploading pics at the moment. However, most exciting news is our ravelry puglovers' swap! First I am almost done shopping for my secret buddy person, I want to add a doggie toy to her package though. I had a hard time choosing the perfect yarn because I went into Purl's in Asheville for knit night (yes adventures abound here) and they had sooooo much yummy color. I ended up splurging on some pretty yarn in a combination of her favorite colors. Can't say much more yet because its not sent yet! I also added a bunch of lil chachkas (stuff) like beads and such, of same colors for craft embellishments, and I made her a square in her fave color. So today I'm waiting on the cable guy alll day...and we got a package! My swap stuff!!! YAY!!! And boy it is dreamy too. She was so sweet, she put a little note in it about how she made me a crochet sock monkey bookmark, isnt that cute?! And I got a great new book of hat patterrns to make, which I am already looking at one for son #2, and three skeins of gorgeous lavendar yarn, just really so luscious!!! Must post pics! AND Bootsie got a squeaky toy which he howled his pleasure (seriously he talks to squeaky toys) and a whole box of the Mr Pugsy treats which lol all of the dogs spit right out since they are healthy snacks and my crew is spoiled rotten on human food. I love swaps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH RAINEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well I guess I still love purple

This lady from Craigslist must have some sort of yarn collecting obsessive disorder(yeah don't we all). Her entire house is FULL. She could never knit up that much yarn! Anyway I managed to get these - 24 hanks of penguin super cable and 10 balls of plymouth plus 3 blu caribe for 46 bucks. Now I can start the CAL and make another hat out of the blu caribe. I had to restrain myself from just rolling around on this lady's floor in a fit of yarn overload. I took son #3, the one with the level head, and after about thirty times of me saying "ooooh this one is seeeeewwwwww prettyyyyyyyy" he dragged me out. I might have just stayed....forever.....mwah-ha-ha!

Scary Cap and Stash Hunting

I attempted to make a drops design cap yesterday, but instead of # of rows the pattern said "crochet 6 inches" and this cap looks like something Dr. Seuss might wear. I'm about to go meet this lady from Craigslist who has advertised an entire house worth of high quality yarn in sweater quantities that she wants to sell off due to a move.... I will go get what I can for thirty bucks!! Cross yer fingers for me and I will put up pics later of what I come home with. I'm hoping to get enough to do the plus-size crochet group CAL sweater!!

sushi roll scarf

I found this pattern on the 'net somewhere and I have the pdf but there's no link info so if anyone has it I'd love to give credit where credit is due! OK I found it! Here it is:

Brand New & Already Behind

I finally got tired of putting my crochet projects into a myspace album and decided it was time to do a blog. Probably won't be all drama all the time, just some random life stuff and mostly yarn-related. I try to post to a few crochet-related groups on the web but I get shot down by all the copyright rules (yes I TRY to always say where I get patterns) but I just thought this might be more fun.
So not too witty or whiny, not a lot of mommy-related bragging or hubby-bashing, no politics, nothing but the yarn-infested insides of my tiny brain. Right now I can't really start any big new projects because the whole house is boxed up ready for our big move to Asheville *YAY* but I am compulsively whittling away at my stash and hubbby just bought me a new camera so first duty is uploading all the best stuff I've made recently. If anyone is interested in patterns please email me I'll be glad to share. Thanks!
