Friends....what would I do without them!

I have a great group of internet friends! They have rescued me, listened to my venting about knitting or non-knitting related, or just listened...Here are a few that have saved my sanity, made me happy, and taught me a thing or two in the past few days :)

Ok, I am on swatch #3 for Green brown Gable. First 2 I had 6 sts per ", I need 5 sts per "...Used 6's-nope, 7's-nope, and about to start with 8's...hmmm I guess I'm a pretty tight knitter. I would like to thank Heather for promptly answering my frantic emails, and calming me down today. Also thanks to Trillian42 for calming me down yesterday about the same thing...hmmm she offered me a margarita....still waiting ;)



See these! My own craft tags! Designed by CBear19 of FuzzySheepDesigns! She's starting to do small design projects and I couldn't be more happier with mine.. I picked craft tags because I not only knit, I sew and quilt, so I wanted a generic one I could use to write info on the back. I may even get sewn-in type labels made too. So stop by and check out her work!

Now for some....Yarn Pr0n

So soft Lorna's Laces Worsted in Mineshaft and Embers. I got these from Kpixie as I had a gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket LOL! I wanted 2 of the embers to make socks for me, but it was not meant to be...sniff. Thank you Turtlegirl76 for your inspiring yarn pr0n of the last few days..oh yeah and telling me about the macro button (which it's in detail in the owners manual LOL!) These are by no means as gorgeous as yours, but not too bad! Oh and also listening to my swatching gripes too! ;)

I couldn't say thanks enough to these ladies and a lot of others out there in bloggy and Knittytm
land for helping me with my knitting..oh yeah and a few other things too ;)

Until tomorrow......

People help you because you are kind and generous, Z!

Tags are COOL! Great yarn choices too. What will you make?

Ditto that first comment!!

I LOVE the vintage feel of the tags that Cbear designed for you.

And don't worry about the Brown Gable--it's going to be great!

Happy to help, my dear. I'd be happy to send the margarita, if only I lived in a state where mailing alcohol was legal. =)

And your tags look great! I'm so proud of my SP!

Those gift certificates are just so incendiary! Spontaneous combustion! Of course you had to spend it right away!

So sorry you're having swatching nightmares with the Green Gable top. You inspired me and I just dove right in, now I wonder if it's going to fit, lol. Your tags look terrific, very stylish!

The tags are cool, but I know the stuff you make to put them on will be equally great! I can't wait to see what you make out of the new Lorna's Laces.

Look at you becoming a Pr0nographer! The pics look great!

And congrats on getting gauge. I guess I should check that on the one US 6 circ I have first before I go buying all the rest I need to make the thing. *sigh*
