Stitch Whimsy

I dont know what happened. I guess the overstimulation with fiber has left me high and dry now. I am still going to do more things, I just have not taken the initiative to do anything right now. I am getting back into my guitar and reading the Bible. I am doing my daily devotions and worshipping like I used to. I know that crafting will come back. I cycle through these things pretty rapidly. Please don’t leave me, bear with me in this. I adore all of you!

Until I am back to crafting on my own, I think I will start featuring crafters that I see doing cool things. Off to bound across the webosphere and find something I like so I can share!

I did finish I just didnt post it. i am not happy with it. The collar fit differently when I was trying it on in process. Now it’s too far back on my neck and I abhor it.

There was this weird gap under my armpit, so I fixed that. There was also a weird one where the V met in the middle…also fixed. I just DON”T like it. I am going to unravel the entire thing and do it over, or switch directions or something. It feels heavenly. The yarn is so nice. I am just overly displeased. It’s the only thing I can honestly say that I made and do not like.

HEHEHEHHEHEE This should be interesting. (thanks mom for the idea)

1. Cascade 220 - I want to know what all the hype is about.
2. Noro Kureyon - I want to know why people hate it so much.
3. Cashmere - because feeling it in the store is just not enough.
4. Silk - same as cashmere.
5. Malabrigo - too many people talk about it. It has to be good.
6. Merino - I have only touched it, but it seems to be the most popular yarn/fiber.
7. Soy -  It’s a more green yarn and is supposed to feel good.
8. Qiviuit - to find out why it’s so expensive.
9. Bamboo - might be interesting to wear.
10. Hemp - I know what this fiber is capable of, and it’s pretty awesome.
11. Linen - So many things are made from this, I have to see if I can make something comparable.
12. Corn silk - It is so shiny! I have to wonder wthat it feels like to work with.
13. Nettle - read about it in old story books, want to know what it’s like.

So that is my top 13 for yarn/yarn fibers!
