I may have kilt worms

ETA:  Don’t forget about the contest!  You can win fibery goodness and the deadline has been extended to February 8th!

Remember how I told you a while ago my new favorite thing is Stash and Burn?  Well, Jenny and Nicole are finally back from break.  YAY!  In the meantime, I moved on to another well known podcast…Lime and Violet.  In fact, I’ve gorged on Lime and Violet for the last two weeks straight and I am almost caught up.  Unfortunately for me, they seem to be recording their podcasts further apart.  I hope they pick up again once Carin is off school for the summer.

Thanks to L&V,  I am now obsessing on a new hobby…letter boxing.  I you don’t know what it is (I sure didn’t) check out the Lime and Violet Podcast 49.5 or check www.atlasquest.com or www.letterboxing.org for more information.  The short version is you go on hikes, find a box (like a scavenger hunt) and collect the different stamps that are in the found boxes.  There are thousands of these boxes all over the U.S. and worldwide.  I went to several places today to find the materials to make my signature stamp and finally succeeded. 

If you have been wondering where I’ve been, I had family in for the week.  My sister came to Arizona (oh by the way, I’m in Arizona for a couple of weeks) for business for a couple of days so I got to see her and my Dad and his wife came for a week too.  Of course I still got some knitting in since there were lots of car trips (probably more on that later).  I’ve got a couple of FO’s and a new WIP to show you plus plans for my sister’s birthday sweater to jump on the needles shortly.  Until then, my super fabulous schedule for the next 24 hours:  carve my signature stamp, get my letter boxing tools together, drink some wine, eat some cheese, sleep well, arrive at Jessica Knits at 10 a.m. for their 4th Annual Super Bowl Sale, buy copious amounts of yarn, go on several hikes in the area of Jessica Knits to collect stamps.  Wish me luck!
