Project Spectrum Begins!

Yes indeed kids!

FIRE!!!

That is what will inspire us for the next two months! The flame ignights our creativity

So I do have at least one red project on the go..... you all have seen the star scarf. It is double knitting yes..... love it!

I do have all the colours of the rainbow in my stash at the moment, so finding red, orange, yellow, gold or pink is not a problem. As a matter of fact the Icarus shawl is pink! Wow, two projects that I want to get done that fit into the Project Spectrum colours!

I do also have some more pumpkins to create for a friend! Man I hope I can get everything done in time! LOL That was really not what I was planning on having as my statement for fire! I was thinking of taking on a flame pattern shawl, or starting a pair of socks in the pumpkin gloss I have or the garnet from Knitpicks. Oh prehaps actually getting to use the bamboo that I picked up at Fiberfest two years ago.....

it may still happen the colours are perfect! LOL Well, I guess this colour compliment in my current stuff will really help me get some of these outstanding UFO's done (which was what I have been trying to do as my resolution!) LOL ah, PTB thanks for the aid! LOL

Honestly with the wide parameters for this baby, I don't know how I could ever run out of fire!

From shirts, to fibers that I have to knit with....... I have tons to do! Or tons I could do! LOL

Happy planning, and don't forget to check out the group on Ravelry! everyone seems to have such great ideas! See you there!

Squeeeeee!!!

Oh my goodness......
have you seen the new Knitty?????

I think that with every season they get better!!!!
I have no idea what I want to start first but it may end up being Mr Greenjeans!
I just love it! The style is fabulous! And the amount of fiber to use is attractive too! :)

I have also been spyin on MagKnits and I found this fantastic pattern! Sweet way to use some of that fantastic coloured sock yarn isn't it?! I love this idea and think that the fact that my LYS is having a yarn sale is just too much torture for a girl! I have to confess I already splurged and bout myself enough fantastic fiber for 3 new sweaters!!! Yikes and YOW! LOL
So I guess there is my stash-expansion confessional! My friend at Illuminating Soul picked up her first drop spindle and is loving it..... she hasn't put it down since her first lesson! We were wicked together! LOL she is looking for some insight on a business name so pop by if you can and help a girl out! LOL

As for what I am up to with all that new, soft, wooly goodness...... not much! Dang it!
I have a few things on the needles already and I know that I want to get some stuff done so I have to get what I am working on now DONE! That top-down raglan is coming along nicely. I don't think I will have it done in the next day though..... yesterday I had to rest my are due to an injury that keeps flaring up..... I don't want to over tax my arm, so I can only get a bit of knitting in in the day...... better to be safe than sorry!
I am working on a few things that I can 't divulge due to their swappy nature, I will take pictures and have those available once the packet is in it's new home!
I also hope to have some information on other things that I have gotten up to lately.... I have a wedding fair to go to on Sunday, so that should be interesting.... and a few other crafty things up my sleeve for this upcoming week. Have a great weekend!
