Hello!!!  It has been so long since we've posted that there is probably no one out there reading anymore.  It seems things have been very busy.  I haven't been doing as much knitting as usual, although I have been doing some.  The thing I *have* been doing is buying yarn.  I'm afraid now that I (we) have cleaned out the bedroom in my house I called the box room that it will soon become the yarn room.  I think I have a problem.  Is there a yarnaholics anonomous? 

Hannah and I went to Purls, our lys today so she could get some eros to make a bday scarf for a friend of hers.  She came out of the store with one ball of eros.  ONE BALL.  I came out of the store (blush) with.... 2 sets of circular needles (more on what they are for later), a ball of crystal palace squiggle (just because I've been looking at it for a long time, may not make anything with it... may just touch it), 2 skeins of Lamb's Pride worsted in lotus pink and a ball of Plume FX (to give to my friend Eli to make a purse like these new cool one's Hannah has been making... pictures later).... and from the half off table.... four hanks of Berroco Linet (a couple for a scarf with Light Pipe and a couple for another scarf), two balls of a trendsetter yarn called Farfalla (for a scarf with the Linet), and one hank of Berroco Denim Silk (Hannah and I can't remember why I bought it... lol)

The last time I went to Purls I got the coolest book.  It explains the special cast on techique for knitting moebius loops for scarves.  It has a bunch of great patterns.  They require really long circular needles (47 - 60 in).  I started one, but it ended up too long and I didn't have enough left to cast off... so I'll start over.  Pictures later... :)

I'll take and post pictures of the cool purses Hannah's been making.  And... in other news our other two sisters (one who said she would NEVER knit) have started knitting and love it.  So we'll have all sorts of pictures to post eventually.
