~January Show Sponsor
- Sunset Fibers Check out their 2010 line!
~ What I'm Knitting:
- Finished Easy Baby Cardigan, and now am working on a matching bonnet out of the leftover yarn!
- Cast on (and tore out 3 times) the Raindrop Shawl by Renee Strouts out of Knit Picks Gloss Sock Yarn. Yarn cost me $3.99 a skein, and I bought 3 skeins so my wedding shawl will cost me about $12! Way cheaper than buying a veil!
- Cast on a pair of simple cabled socks with Knit Picks Stroll in Eggplant.
~What I'm Spinning:
-Still working on my Sunset Fibers Corriedale for my Grandma's socks! I've done 2 bobbins, and Navajo plied adding up to about 200 yards! I'm on my way!

~ Worth It!
-Reviewed Knit Picks Shadow Laceweight yarn A 100% merino laceweight yarn, comes in 440 yard skeins.
*Pros:
- Only $2.99 a skein- averages to be just over 1/2 a cent per yard!
- Drapes beautifully
-Comes in a lot of beautiful colors
-Not splitty or knotty
- Very soft
*Cons:
- Tiny itty bitty yarn- If you don't want to knit dental floss on toothpicks, this is not the yarn for you.
