Yay! Yarn Stuff, and my sweater dilema....and sock clubs oh my!

Ok I finally got a title, and now for pics......



This is a recent order for a local yarn shop. The owners are such nice people! I really like being there, the men's knitting group meets every wensday, and you can usually always find me there. Unless school is trying to kill me.

Hardangervidda update:

I'm on the first sleeve and I noticed that I'm running out of yarn. I had 5 balls left of the main color when I finished the body. I though that would be plenty for 2 sleeves and the collor and such. WRONG!!!! I had to buy 3 more skeins of the main color, and one more of the CC 1. Makes me mad! Here's the body, showing off my amazing skill, and you can even see my hands, and one of my arms. LOL... but I digress.




And I knit during my classes. Of course, if the teacher doesn't mind. Most don't apparently, as long as you pay attention.



It's made of Crystal Palace Panda Cotton. I'm too freaking lazy to go and find out the colorway name/#.

And then I added a few things to my etsy shop. www.macekdesigns.etsy.com









Go! Look! Drool!

I'm also now in the yarn pirate booty club. Sigh, as if I need more yarn!

Oh and I have some new ideas for my shop. Comming soon. Maybe even a sock club?

First off I need to get this out of the way. I can't believe that people actually read my non existant blog. Now that said, I have a lot to catch up on.

Now, I entered the Hill Country Yarns Sock Pattern Contest, and I can't believe I won the either. I wonder if they were suprised that a guy was entering such a lacey pattern. But I did get the yarn, and I think I might make the rougue sweater, or maybe something else who knows. And then some falkes socks. I haven't decided yet.

Next order of business, I have been dying up yarn for a little while and while I don't think this is official yet, well not to the public at least, I'm going to be dying up some yarn for www.woolgirl.com and it's freaking awsome. Though I'm waiting for my crack dealer, I mean yarn supplier hasn't replied to my application. I need that yarn really soon! Jeez......I might just call them just to find out what the heck is going on.

Next, I'm knitting hardangervidda. Yeah. That sweater right now is a freaking awsome, insane piece of work. But I love how it looks so far, I'll post pics here later. The one on my Ravelry isn't recent.

I've been bad, and not posting here, (stupid attention span) and I've been beading a lot. For my job is now gone, since my employer had to close, it just wasn't working at her location, so I had to get some stuff that I have been coveting for like literally months. I'll post pics of the stuff, and I'll let you all know when it goes up for sale.

More news, my sock yarn is going to be in a local shop! If you go to The Knitting Room, then my sock yarn is going to be there sometime soon (I've been a lazy skeiner and labeler....). Oh well. But best of luck to Ed, one of the owners, for he is going in for some laser sugery in his eye, for he can't see. But if you haven't been to their store, definetly go, they are such nice people. Men's Knitting Group every Wensday (not this week though), pop in and see us all, I'll be there when school isn't trying to kill me, (which I think they're trying really hard, but my knitting is my defense).

Just to let you all know, I do accept custom orders for yarn, and jewelry, and knit stuff, and spun stuff. Let me know..... just thought I'd let you all know.

Till next time! Whenever that is! Back to the sweater!
