YAY!

I got my first piddleloop!

mail time!!!!

I got my Loopy Ewe shipment today! I have been waiting since Monday. I ordered three skeins of sock yarn, 2-16" circulars, size 1.5. They are so I can try socks on two circs. I also got my first sock blocker. That's probably my favorite part. For some reason I thought they came in sets of two, so I will probably order another one soon.


This is Three Irish Girls. Adorn Sock base, Kristy colorway. 80% merino, and 20% nylon, and 430 yards. I think this is my favorite. It has dark red, chocolate brown, light green, and a light robin's egg blue. Really pretty.

This is Yarn Love. Juliet base, Nirvana colorway. 80/20 merino/nylon. 420 yards. This has various blues and greens. Also some purples and browns.


This is also Three Irish Girls. Adorn sock base, Nora colorway. 80/20 merino/nylon. 430 yards. Different shades of light pink, dark browns, light yellows, different light blues and greens. Really pretty. Not sure what my comfort zone is but I think this is out of it. haha

Bittersweet breaking hearts

I Love this pattern. I started it on Monday I think and I am over half way done with the leg. It calls for 12 repeats and I just finished the 9th repeat.  Love it!!

happy spring??

March is approaching but February isn't going out without a fight. Here in Northeastern Indiana we have gotten ice and like four inches of snow. And this just started last night. I do think however that it has stopped snowing. (fingers crossed)

Good news: my friend Sam and I will be moving into our new (to us) house the first week of March. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I will still be living in the same town as my parents but this is my first time out on my own. I just want to prove to them that I can do it. I should be packing instead of knitting and blogging....

I feel like I have been pretty knitting productive. I finished my socks!

And just tonight I started on my "second pair". Well technically these would be my third pair of socks but my first pair are ugly and I made them like four years ago. I am making The Breaking Hearts pattern. This is the first pattern I have actually spent money on. This, however, is not the best time for me to be buying all this knitting stuff.

I also just today purchased my first Piddleloop . I also purchased sock blockers and three pairs of socks worth of yarn from The Loopy Ewe I'm really excited for all of that to come in the mail.

I think that is it for now...happy knitting!
