Scrumble for Prudence

Hey guys!

So, I'm going crazy in the hospital, so when I hear that Prudence Mapstone, the Queen of Freeform,  needs flower scrumbles, I jumped.

So, here it is. All crochet,  all acrylic (and a touch of metalic thread) and all for the project.

So, Mz Mapstone, please let me know where to drop off/deliver said scrumble for the collection.

The rug - part 1

THE rug!

So, I am making a rug to go to Pax Lodge, the WAGGGS house (World Centre of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) in the Uk.

Here is the design so far




and that would be me, still getting used to the webcam.

So, on top of Cold sheeping, i also have to get this rug made by the beginning of 2015.

Lets see if it happens huh?

Going Cold Sheep....

So, it has been discussed with the BF and the MD, that there may be a benefit of going Cold Sheep

what is that?

Simple!

Its going "Cold Turkey" on any and all yarn buying!


I found this when researching the term...

The 12-Step Program for going "Cold Sheep"
Step 1. Admit that you have more yarn than you can knit within the next 6 months, unless you can learn to knit in your sleep.

Step 2. Admit that sheep, llamas, and alpacas have produced fleece for hundreds of years, and they will probably continue to do so

Step 3. Admit that some yarn in your stash you have never truly intended to knit–you just wanted to own it.

Step 4. Admit that just because it’s 50% off, bad yarn is still bad yarn

Step 5. Admit that, try as you might, there will always be a limit to how fast you can knit

Step 6. Admit that other family members have rights to closet space, too.

Step 7. Admit that visiting a LYS daily is probably not a good idea

Step 8. Admit that it’s really okay if someone else has a yarn that you don’t have

Step 9. Admit that yarn’s “calming” effect dwindles when your stash reaches the $1000 mark

Step 10. Admit that all that yarn really won’t keep anyone warm until you knit it into something

Step 11. Admit that variegated and handpainted yarns often look better as yarn skeins.

Step 12. Admit that no matter how fabulous the yarn is, there will always be another fabulous yarn in the future and IT might be on sale.......
