the blue blog archives: fluffy

I can't hear the name fluffy without hearing Sandra Bullock in While You Were Sleeping calling her fiance's fiancee's cat. I'm such a sap, I'd see that movie any day of the week and twice on Saturdays (especially a Saturday like last Saturday where I was in bed all day with a stomach bug). Anyway...

I'm still knitting in the round. Gotta work out some armholes and sleeves and stuff, 'cause I ain't wearing it like this! It does feel wonderful against the skin though. Remember wearing your knits without layers underneath? Ahhh, spring.

Hey, spring is in the air over in the knitalong sidebar! Check out the links to springy projects underway. I'll be updating them regularly, so keep checking back! (And as always, I'm happy to post a pic if you don't have a blog or can't do pictures. Just send it to me by email.)

Yep, I'm flingin'! I have finished the back of the Cotton Twist Pop-on and am roaring ahead on the front. Also have about 2" done on Sally's Fave Summer Sweater from KnitStitch, which is pretty good, given that I am only doing a row here and a row there. Your green 'thingy' looks like a cushion of soft grass on which to lay one's weary head for a Springtime nap. :-)

Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well! Was it at least a "knitting-possible" illness?

alison-you are my idol!! I started learning how to knit 7 wks ago d/t major change in lifestyle.
I am/was a devoted counted cross stitcher for 20 yrs.-but now need something I can did with my hurry and wait routine. I always wanted to learn-so I could fall back on this when my young eyes go.So of course, since I am type A -I immediately searched the web for new ideas/yarns,etc. I check on your blog for inspiration. So far-9 scarves(not a fan of eyelash),1 baby blanket(berrocco plush) and tomorrow I start my einstein sweater.
Barbara from Neccessities for needlework in westboro-patiently taught me. She has beautiful yarns-they make my hands itch.
I started to check out where the knitsmiths shop-the kniiting garden in uxbridge -my oops-thought they were retail. But Elizabeth was great-let me in-her yarns are gorgeous. Bought rowen wool/cotton for a baby blanket-ericia knight pattern.
Since I also live in mass-I appreciate the local info......thank you/thank you/thank you-k

That picture has me pulling out some GGH Esprit from my stash. I am feeling a fluffy tank coming on.

"Kit-ty! Rich kit-ty! Here Flu-ffy! Flu-ffy!"
"But Peter doesn't have a cat..."
"Meow"

(I love that movie, too!)

P.S. Great fluffy green thing!

2 springy baby hats FLUNG, one of which is in the beauteous GGH Esprit. I want to knit a jumpsuit in this stuff, I love it! & that shade of green is sublime, simply sublime.

2 things off my list, only 2 dozen left!
