Counting Sheep?…

Counting Sheep~

I thought when you sleep…you’re supposed to be counting sheep.

Apparently my mind thinks that instead of counting the sweet little fuzzy things…it should be counting patterns! 

When you’re sleeping and dreaming, have you ever thought that you were having a major epiphany that would be earth shattering, only to wake up and find that your insight was sheer jibberish?  Last night I dreamed up no less than 5 new patterns for working on the looms!  Not only that, but exactly how to do them, including tricky techniques that I had no idea I even wanted to do…and they made perfect sense when I woke up! 

*Now, that’s cool!*

So, I sketched them out as soon as I woke up and realized what I (or my subconscious)  😉   had done.   It’ll be really cool to be able to knit them up and know that this thing I’m holding in my hands is literally a dream come true! 

I was so inspired by my sleep tutorials, that I had to play with paint and draw a memento of my experience, which is what you see up there at the top.  I just love the little sheep!  I think I’ll use them every so often, here and there, where a little fuzz is required.   🙂

Just a Reminder!What a BEAUTY!!!

There are only a few more days to get your pics in for the drawing which will be held on the first of February!

Not sure what in the world I’m talking about?  Just click here for all the info…  CLICK!

Thanks so much!  I can’t wait to see your wonderful pictures!

Ooops!…I did it again.

I found something else I really wanted to work on, and just couldn’t wait…

Classic Cables Scarf~Oops!  Have to have that blue loom for…

The poor cables scarf had to be put on hold for the January Loom-a-Long with Isela…Plushy House Socks!  Yes, I finally got my invitation to join Ravelry…it actually wasn’t that long of a wait…about a couple of weeks.  Not bad with how many they have clammering to join in on the fun!  It’s so huge there!  I couldn’t believe my eyes…it’s like a yarn internet inside the internet.

So…I am making progress on my sockies…this one is ready for the toe, then to make the mate…my feet will be so comfy cozy!

 I didn’t find the Berroco Plush yarn that this pattern called for, so I found another chunky, fleecy substitute…this yarn is called Poker by Skacel.  It’s an Italian blend of tactel, new wool, acrylic, and nylon.  Feels very nice!

When I finish with these, I will put that Cables Scarf right back on my little blue loom and finish it, for goodness sake~! 

 …along with the other 2 items I mentioned below!   😉
