Fun Stuff.

So, yay!, Finally, more than a month after I ordered it, I got my yarn from Canada!

That was a long damn time for 2 skeins of Jazz. This is the yarn that got mixed up in the packaging. The blueish one is Charlie, and the Orangey one is Thelonius, I think. I like this yarn alot. I knit up a sample pair of socks for the shop in this stuff, using the Jazz Socks pattern from Weekend Knitting. Nice, Easy, Fast.
This technically does not break my yarn fast, cause I ordered it prior to declaring a yarn fast. Oops.

This is my new favourite thing to look at, I’ve always wanted one!


It occured to me look for it while searching ebay for nothing in particular. I think I searched “Needle gauges” or “Knitting Gauges” It’s really tiny, and came from a lady in England. I watched a couple of auctions before bidding, and they seem to go for around $25 US. Not to bad. I won’t be using it to as a needle check, though. The numbers and holes correspond to english sizes. I’m still working on Metric! I have so much knitting stuff by now, that the antique stuff is getting to be very interesting. I have a new facination for Elizabeth Zimmerman, and her techniques and style. The women’s a genius. A Knitting Genius!

Stay tuned tomorrow, I’ve got a big Vesper Yarn update for Etsy. I don’t know what time yet, probly early afternoon. It all depends on what time I decide to get up on my day off from the job, Not a day off from working for myself. i will post notice here, as soon as they’re up.

    Oh My God … ever since I got Nancy Bush’s vintage sock book, I’ve been wanting to get one of this … I thought it was something expensive antique! Now I’m going over to eBay. Thanks!
