April is my Birthday month!!

I will be celebrating another revolution around earth's axis this month. I'll be 33, i think. I get the "I forgot how old I am" from my mother. But i do know that seven minus 10 is three. =33! yay! oh wait, boo.
Anyway I have about a thousand different things on the needles, or WIP's. There is the black merino boucle cardigan, it is a birthday present to myself. If you ever wanted to know what knitters knit for themselves when they knit for themselves, well here is your answer. Beautiful soft cardigans, luxy cotton berets, and cute cami and shrug set!! OOOOH joy, everything I am knitting is for MEEEE!!  But I will pic it and post it and knit one for you too! But you can pick a different color, see?? Works perfectly. And plus, I get to road test the item, too. Please, if it can survive my intermittent washing, two clingy kids, slouching, rumpled life, it can survive yours. As per usual, picks to come.

The contest is still on, till April 15th!! We have 11 lucky subscribers entered to win the free gift!!! Ooooh, and it is going to be sweet!

April showers bring May flowers

Introduction

Yellow!

This is my first foray into blogging. But lemme tell you, I can talk about myself uh-huh.

I love all of my yarn friends on Etsy! Lynn, Christine, and that person from Uruguay!! Whoo!



My current passion is boucle style yarn, it is the style I started with one year ago, and continue to grab again and again. It is kinda bumpily, and hides mistakes well!! Bonus! Plus the softness is beyond soft. I want to move away from the commercial acrylic (made in the U.S.A) to more natural fibers from my spinning ladies. Angora, and wool, and alpaca is the way I'm goin.



I have a twitter account under skocdem.
