Knitmaina

The past week has been full of knitting and knitting related activities. A second sock, a top (which may or may not be submitted as a pattern), a pattern that is going to be submitted for Knitty’s summer edition, stitch markers, ordering stuff for the store and preparing to dye some “Divalicious” 100% Merino Superwash sock yarn (look for it to be for sale next week). I’ve also been doing too much eating and drinking and not enough writing, spring cleaning or gardening. C’est la vie, non?

A couple of exciting things this week… 1. I got my first order! I don’t want to invade her privacy by saying who it is but she is a knit blogger and very sweet to boot. I can’t wait to hear what she has to say about the yarn she ordered…YUM. She got some good stuff, y’all! 2. Sweet Marji sent me a little prezzie for hosting Secret Pal 7…a cute pincushion with assorted thread in the side holders. I never expected to receive anything for being a volunteer, but it sure was a nice suprise. Thanks Marji! 3. I’m going be be receiving my first shipment of Rio De La Plata yarn this week. This stuff is fantastic…very similar to Malabrigio. I’ll give a full report after I receive the shipment but I think people are really going to like this yarn.
