Carlito would drool over this…

It’s Friday, and I have no new threads to bragabboud.

I can sense a Wind of Keen Diappointed Astonishment blowing my way so instead I will brag about three of my most favorite possesions!

From L to R:

1. Mr. Chia Soldier: this hollow piece of Art is from WWII and has holes all over his head so you can grow Chia Hair (I need seeds, anybody?)

2. My New Digital Scale: WOWOWOWOW – my sister turned me on to this bad boy when I whined about figuring out postage in advance of mailing to avoid the 1+ hour I usually have to wait in line at the Division St Post Office. I got it on eBay. It is shown with a 3.7 oz. complimentary ball of Barn Yarn…

3. Ty the Jack Russell Terrior: or as I suspect, the Terror. This is currently my favorite dog photograph (I have a few). I found it at a flea market a long time ago – it is OLD and actually Sepia Toned. Someone wrote the name “Ty” on it with white ink. I think my Ty is better than that guy on Extreme Makover, who actually bounces off the wall alot like a Jack Russell might…

In other Knitting News: we have lift-OFF! POCKETS are now attempting orbit on the Scoop du Jour woolie…

Ye, m’am! This is a fusion project – I’m knitting the straight St st parts on the machine and doing all the ribs and bands by hand. So far, all the parts are *loomed* and I’m plugging away on all that rib.

yum – Mocha Barny

The wooly goodness has left the BarnYard!

So far, I have the sleeves and back done on Missy Scoop. To bring it out of the Country and into the City, I gave the pieces (as I finished them in turn cause for some reason I couldn’t wait!) a hot soapy sink bath, then several rinses.

This could be called Ultimate Wet Blocking

Then I spread it out to size on my rug and let it dry.

I’m diggin’ the Dk Olive on the Natural Grey – the ribbing has a slighty wooly-er, felt-y-er texture going on and contrasts nicely with the almost tweedy, mocha bod…

I’m also keeping track of how much yarn I’m using by weighing it with my new best friend, Mr. Digital Scale…
