Finally caught up on taking photos of finished objects. I've uploaded 42 images today. All knitting related. Yarr. So to avoid killing your browser (which I'll be risking anyway) I'll try to only post the highlights. There are still a bunch though.

Click on the photos to go to the set page and see a bunch of other stuff.

People think I'm kidding about the magical New Mexico sun. Oh no. Everything I knit and spin looks 78% better in the sun here. It really makes colors pop.

I've been going back and forth on this for weeks now and we finally decided not to go to the Taos Wool Festival. I've spent entirely too much on fiber related stuff this year anyway (oh and um this) and we have visiting niece and nephew obligations. And I want to see my Saturday knitting group ladies. With the way Cody's work schedule has been the last few weeks I haven't been able to get to knitting groups nearly as often as I'd like. So we weighed the pros and cons and decided not to go. Maybe next year.

I'll try to get balloon fiesta photos this weekend. But I usually forget.

Speaking of fiestas, I don't quite understand the attitude of people who move here then get indignant about the Hispanic influences of a state called New Mexico. Yes, festivals will be called fiestas here. Because fiesta means festival. I don't see people complaining about the overuse of the word festival. I just don't get why people would want to complain about that. It just seems like going to Boston and complaining about having clam chowder on the menu in every restaurant. Awfully silly.

Since I haven't gotten the mt blogrolling plugin working properly since the upgrade (because I'd much rather spend my leisure time reading weblogs or knitting or spinning not futzing around with code) this is what I'm working on atm.

STILL plugging away on the Devan sweater for the niece

I'll also knit some quickie mittens connected by an i-cord since apparently she really likes mittens. Odd for a san diego girl but, hey, who am I to judge?

Knitting a simple garter stitch scarf for Will out of Fortissima colori disco sock yarn. Stripey and glittery.

I'm going to spin yarn for and knit a Jayne Cobb hat for Jocelyn's boyfriend's birthday

still working on the so-called scarf in orangey purpley manos del uruguay

going to try knitting a scarf of shawl out of the preppie boy yarn for my sister-in-law whose birthday was last week.

knitting a few more chenille flower washcloths in varying colors and sizes. oh yeah I forgot to photograph the ones I made. whoops.
