I wanted you to see the ear warmer I knitted, so I took some quick Photo Booth pics. These cream colored ones are made with 100% Peruvian wool, and lined with white fleece for extra soft, cozy and warm. The third one is made with a soft brown acrylic/wool blend yarn...that <i>has gold sparkles in it.</i><br />

It seemed like the Nikon got a slightly better view of the shimmer in the yarn. Of course, I could've just taken the band off my head to photograph, but .. where's the fun in that?* Nowhere.<br />

Abby is an OT, and her company <a href="http://www.teamworksukraine.com/">travels to Ukraine </a>to work with orphans and their caregivers. Abby met a sweet toddler one one of her trips there, and, long story short- -they're adopting that sweet girl. They've waited for what feels like a hundred months to get so many different steps in the process completed, and they just found out that they finally have a court date! They get to go get their bebe! Abby has detailed the process on her <a href="http://danielandabbysoldhouse.blogspot.com/">blog</a>. I'm excited to meet this sweet girl; I can't imagine what Abby & Daniel are feeling.<br />

To help support my friends and their bringing home Eva Claire, 10% of all sales this month will go toward her adoption. Head over to the <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/cogworthys">Cogworthy's Etsy shop</a> (check out the thumbnails to the right of this post!), get yourself something nice, like this long cotton cowl, and help this sweet family in their start together.

I never liked for those food words to be applied to yarn, partly because I have texture issues, and partly because I have -at times- word accuracy issues. Yummy = food.. not yarn.<br />
<br />
Last week I began a part time job at <a href="http://www.theyarnmart.com/">The Yarn Mart</a> in Little Rock. I get paid on the weekends to stare at/touch/reorganize/help people find yarn. Ermahgerd. Looking at yarns with a coworker today, she described one as "yummy," and for the first time, it clicked. I got it. I think the word-categorization part of my brain loosened a little, and let yummy fall into two categories instead of just the one. I forget which yarn we were looking at, it might've been a silk/alpaca or merino/silk blend. It was a soft one.<br />

In any event, I came home with a beautiful <a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=tahki+rosa&um=1&hl=en&sa=N&noj=1&tbm=isch&tbnid=6DlDnDbUuMskuM:&imgrefurl=http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/knitting/yarn/Tahki/Rosa.asp%3FshowLarge%3Dtrue%26specPCVID%3D33894&docid=_gf1vTPNeCZBUM&itg=1&imgurl=http://www.jimmybeanswool.com/secure-html/productImages/33894Large_8b5f.jpg&w=300&h=256&ei=VxBMUIfgMJPg8wT644D4BQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=413&vpy=89&dur=1650&hovh=204&hovw=240&tx=131&ty=138&sig=111367261366451067631&page=3&tbnh=122&tbnw=142&start=50&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:50,i:241&biw=1191&bih=595">Rosa</a> skein by Tahki Yarns. Here's a shot of it... the photo looks very grayscale; the yarn itself has a pale blue hue to it (though we have a nice pewter gray color in stock, as well as other neutral colors). I'd recommend coming in to the Yarn Mart yourself to check it out, if you're in Little Rock.<br />
<br />
Now that my item-association terminology is expanding, I have much more appreciation for <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheTwistedPurl">The Twisted Purl's yarn</a>. She hand dyes and spins alpaca and other materials into the most beauuutifulll yarn. I'm afraid to buy any at this point, from a financial standpoint, because I think I would just stare at it, rather than actually do anything with it. Go to her shop and look at her Christmas colored yarn - magic in a handspun skein!<br />
<br />
For now, I've gone back to knitting with this Tahki Rosa. It's going to be a cowl, or maybe a scarflette depending on how the length comes out.<br />

I'm not sure who did it first. Maybe Craftster. Anyway. The link is <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=238536.0">here</a>, in case you're interested in making one yourself.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you're just interested in owning one someone else made, look no further than Cogworthy's.<br />

ScarfletteIn case you've been living under a rock for the past couple weeks, I'm giving away a Luna Lovegood-style scarf. I found the pattern for it <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=238536.0">here</a> - it's not my pattern, just my yarn choice. The thing is beautiful. I'm using a chilly blue cotton yarn, Ultra Pima, from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Yarn-Mart/116724441920">The Yarn Mart</a>, which happens to be one of my favorite places to spaz out. So many colors and textures!! Anyway, here are some progress shots of the frosty blue Luna Lovegood, which is currently halfway to completion:<br />

If you want to win this magical magic, send <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Cogworthys">Cogworthy's</a> a message or write on the wall, or on one of the photos (most of these have been uploaded to the page).

I've been seeing fall colors everywhere (they're <i>really</i> everywhere if you spend three seconds on Pinterest. What, you don't have a Pinterest account? I'll assume you're actually out living your life, then - good for you. No, seriously. Help! Ack!) ...... ..... I've been seeing fall colors everywhere, and it was making me itch to get into the yellow Soft Linen I got at The Yarn Mart a few weeks ago.<br />
<br />
I finished it last night, and - what do you know - the flax and acrylic blend is a little on the itchy side.<br />

Kind of like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0Qaslye9Co">the lady who hilps</a> but this one knits. And she knits well. It's impressive. Anyway, she's recently undertaken the task of riding in one of those charitable bike rides, where people pledge money for her riding a bike, and it's donated to help people with HIV/AIDS. She became the top fundraiser for the rally, thanks to the knitters who follow her blog.<br />
<br />
She has an interesting take on knitters and how they view the world. I like it. She says it better than I could try to relay it, so I'll just <a href="http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2012/07/26/with_love.html">link you on over to her.</a> I recommend reading it.<br />

Once we get to 50 Likes, I'm giving away a Luna Lovegood scarf, in a color that has yet to be determined! This is the first one I made >><br />
<br />
I gave this one to my dear friend from college who is about to travel to a faraway country to adopt a sweet toddler with special needs. The giveaway scarf will be brand new and specifically for the winner.<br />
<br />

Anyway, that's all I've got for now. I have to clean my room today. Don't you love imposing rules on yourself as an adult?

I have plenty of organizational materials, but somehow, organization seems to escape them. I don't know why. *side note - as I sat here typing this, I suddenly wanted to put some backs on some earrings and started to: "OOH, I'm gonna put --- No. I'm going to focus and finish this, and <i>then</i> finish those." Amanda laughed. She's helping me organize today.<br />
<br />
To get back to the update -- Amanda is helping me organize, and sort out some earrings. We're making sets, deciding what colors and shapes and patterns go together. <i>I love it.</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
So that's what is in the works. This is what's coming up in the shop. More organization, more patterns and sets and designs and colors and, if you ask me, magic.<br />

I forgot to mention that my mom and her side of the family have been influential in my work. My mom made a lot of stuff when my siblings and I were young. She did a lot of cross stitching needlework, sewed the stockings we still use at Christmas, and made our Easter dresses one year. The one standing up but almost falling over laughing? That would be me. Mom's obviously the one with the sexy 1994 haircut and red dress, which I'm sure has shoulder pads.<br />

I do love the painting I mentioned, but more than that I love a set of pottery my friend Zach Neel made for my kitchen. He is a fantastic artist in general, very creative and very dedicated- but his ceramic work is just really solid. I love it. He made two containers (I don't know what the technical word is for them), one for sugar and one for flour, and a utensil holder. They've survived multiple moves with little to no injury. I think one lid broke once, but it glued back together easily. I love these things.<br />

Apparently Yarn Mart is having a sale.<br />
<br />
My plans changed immediately, and I ran- literally- to The Yarn Mart. No, I drove. Anyway. I made it there before closing to find that they were going to be open an additional three hours beyond their normal closing time. <i>More</i> excitement. Long story short, I made out like a bandit. Nine skeins of yarn for under $25. I decided to photograph the loot.<br />

This Tempo yarn is a cotton/acrylic blend made in Italy, apparently. It's got a lot of different textures and colors spun into .. looks like 3-ply. I love it. It feels fall-ish. It, like a lot of my yarn, will probably be turned into a scarf. Please note the Tempo's texture close-up!</div>

^ This is a Louisa Harding yarn, and it reminds me of Christmas. I bought three skeins because that's all they had left in this particular color blend. It's a blend of several different materials, including cotton, linen, silk, and acrylic.<br />

This yarn will probably sit in the Room of Requirement for a while as I work on other projects, and while I wait to find each yarn's most ideal pattern and project. I love, love The Yarn Mart! If you <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Yarn-Mart/116724441920">follow them on Facebook</a>, you'll see sale updates - that's where they were updating sales that were going on all day yesterday.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13303923862085436903noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412778892855027204.post-53422361635933151852012-07-17T19:26:00.002-07:002012-07-17T19:26:29.170-07:00The Room of Requirement... that's what we call the third room in our apartment. It holds... mostly all of my craft supplies. Anyone who crafts knows this can become unruly in an inordinate amount of time; this is true of our room. Because I have a wide variety of supplies, we named the room, aptly, the Room of Requirement. Bringing organization to the room seems a little like a travesty given the state in which we frequently see its namesake, the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts. However, the real RoR <i>is</i> supposed to serve the needs of whomever requires it. Currently, I really require it to be more organized. I need to know what I'm working with here. So... I'll let it go, and try to bring some reason to this room.<br />

</tbody></table>
A few (read: sevenish) months ago, I bought a drop spindle and some roving from <a href="http://www.thetwistedpurl.com/">The Twisted Purl</a>... I wanted to try spinning yarn. Clearly, it had to sit on my shelf for a few to several months before I could work up the balls or the boredom to actually try it. Everyone says it's really difficult to do when you first start. They weren't kidding.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I used some red Caron yarn as my leader. I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but ... that's what I did. And it picked up the roving with the first spin!! What!<br />
<br />
But then the strand broke.<br />
<br />
.... but it looked ... somewhat yarnish, right?<br />

Anyway. I kept going for a bit, and kind of felt like I was sort of getting the hang of drafting- which is what it's called when you pull apart the fiber a little (I think) to add to the yarn on the spindle. As the yarn on the spindle twists and you let fiber bits lead into the yarn that's already on the spindle... the twist travels up the drafted/pulled fiber and that magically turns it into yarn. It's pretty cool.<br />
<br />
Eventually I couldn't really tell how things were going with it. I kept having it break because little puffs would pile up and it seemed that the twist didn't make it into the puffs, but the twist would all pile into one small, very thin strip of fiber. So I ended up with a lot of this:<br />

In any case, I'm calling it a night on the spinning. I figured you'd all be dying to know how I was spending my Monday. This was the long version, with pictures. The short version is this: I spent thirty minutes fighting my cat off my ankles and roving scraps while I tried to turn a ball of fiber into a strand of yarn.<br />
<br />
In any event, you should check out <a href="http://www.thetwistedpurl.com/">The Twisted Purl's website</a>. She makes beautiful yarns, among other things. Her Etsy shop is currently on vacation until August, but take a look at the site! Click the name of the site... there's a hyperlink but the text makes it a tad difficult to tell.<br />
