The Transformation of Purple Spaghetti



Doesn't that title sound like some wonderful piece of literature that every high school student (Teen) should read before they go off to college???



After many a moon of working with the incredibly long piece of purple spaghetti, I have bid goodbye to it.  It was a wonderful relationship and I shawl miss it dearly. (Pardon the really bad pun)




The purple spaghetti became a beautiful five course meal.  I am so glad that it reached it's full potential.

I Made My Goal!!!!

Have you been wondering where I have been? I have been knitting. I made myself a goal last week to get three of my projects completed. I made it. I finished the last one yesterday. It feels so good to get these projects completed.




The first one is a scarf that I made for my sister in law. She is totally awesome. The socks from the last post were originally supposed to be for her but I liked the color way too much to give them away. Sorry Denise, please forgive me. I think she will since I made her an alpaca scarf. This stuff is so soft and squishy I am sure I will make myself one soon. I used two hanks of Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande in the burgundy color. I almost kept this one for myself again but I decided I would let her have it.





This one I am so happy that it is done. This was a baby blanket made for the Punkinbug's teacher. It was gifted this morning. She said it is so soft. I am really glad that she liked it. She is an amazing teacher and really goes above and beyond for these kids that she works with. I am really glad to give her something like this. The pattern was Sunny Cables and Crowns. I used Caron Simply Soft in the Lemonade color. This stuff is great for little baby blankets. I made it smaller than the pattern recommended because some of them are so big and the baby is so small that it makes them hard to use. I usually make them about the size of a receiving blanket so they are more manageable.




I thought it was time for a new picture of the Marshmallow Thief. I am thinking I need to change his name but I will have to think about it for a while.

What replaced those finished objects???? Stay tuned.

The Replacements



I promised pictures of the replacement projects so here we go. The first one is a scarf that I am making for my sister in law. It is going rather quickly but I am going to need to get another hank of yarn for it. I am hoping they have the same dye lot. I forgot to call them today.




The second one is of my new sock. Originally, this pair was for the above mentioned sister in law but I liked the yarn too much to give away. It is Blue Moon Fiber Arts Gingerbread Dude. I so understand why people are addicted to this yarn. It is so awesome.

In the next post, she made up her mind and will explain the not so great photos from this post.
