It is a blend of BFL and mohair and the colorway is Cherry Cordial. I think of it more like cherry coke though, yum. I got it at this years Rhinebeck, which means I really must have liked it to already have it spun up in singles and ready to ply! At the moment I can't remember who I bought it from but I have it somewhere. Pretty sure it was from the same booth my sister bought her wheel from a few years back though, loverly folks there.

I also started knitting up a scarf (got the pattern at this years Rhinebeck too, crazyness I tell you) in this pretty cashmere merino blend. But I noticed I messed up a cable and I can't seem to move forward on it even though I told myself it is an ok mistake to live with (the mistake is not in the photo I have knitted much more since I took the pic). I think I know I will be ripping it back in my heart and just can't bring myself to do it yet, so it just sits there, while my neck has to make due with older scarves. It is a pretty pattern though and has a hat to match a pretty fun knit to work on, other than my idiotness.

Anywho, it is Friday and I am happy. I shall be making lots o' nut roll tonight for a bake sale. Wish me luck and lots of energy!!! (could end up being lazy and just watching movies instead :)]]> Knitting http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=246 Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:39:44 -0700 <![CDATA[Candy Corn!!!]]> http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=245

The sister got us some fun slippers from target to go along with it as she was knitting herself a candy corn skirt.

Really some card she got last year is what made this whole thing come about, a girl was wearing a cute knitted candy corn skirt so we went nuts and wanted to do it too. Below is me in the full crazy neon knitted gear. Not originally intended to overload and be worn all at once, but it is quite an outfit doncha think? I even painted the nails orange for y'all to enjoy!

Hope everyone had a smashing Halloween too!]]> Knitting http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=245 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 16:39:51 -0700 <![CDATA[Monster Mash]]> http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=244

I am loving the fun october colors :)]]> Spinning http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=244 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:18:54 -0700 <![CDATA[Rhinebeck 08]]> http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=243

Of course the trees were super pretty too.

And oddly there were kangaroos and lemurs there too this year. I guess I have never really wandered over through the kiddie area before.

I got some stuffs too but my favorite thing is probably the giant drop spindle I got because Melissa needed a plying spindle. It spins for so long, I love it!]]> Knitting http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=243 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:23:55 -0700 <![CDATA[Currently Avoiding Staining and Hanging Mirrors...]]> http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=240
Also been stock piling some knitting patterns in hopes that my hands will return to the needles again someday in the close by future.

Although even on my train ride I have been video gaming it on my phone lately instead of knitting. It is like I have reverted to my old kiddo days with the first round of nintendo. Man how I loved that track and field pad we had (have). I almost miss having to blow the dust out of the ancient game cartridge to get it to run properly :) Silly CD's just work all the time!

But yeah somehow I MUST hang some mirrors and stain some doors and do laundry and blah blah blah...]]> General http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=240 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:23:53 -0700 <![CDATA[The Best of Times...*]]> http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=239
Annual Disney trip with the family back in March was loverly.

Got to see lots of old friends in April. And went to a beautiful castle in CT wedding, yay!

May was a fun kid filled picnic as you may recall, he he he. And the usual fiber fun in Maryland, great to have old friends into the knitting too now, can't wait for october!

June trip to Denmark to see our new niece was amazing. So relaxing and pretty, and all the sun that time of year was great! Oh and a little Belgium in between was good and yummy too! I am in love with chocolate and licorice! This was my favorite road sign there :)

Rode the ferris wheel and the swings for the fourth while watching fireworks, and eating Cotton Candy, Carmel Apples, and fried dough!

Had a lamb/pig roast pool party slava at the house. Always a good time. Attempted to play the bass again, I think I enjoy swinging it around more than the plucking and getting blisters part :) My kolach (traditional bread) came out fabulous! Was very excited about that.

Went to the Jersey shore to attempt to surf! Caught waves just never stood up :) (the sister did stand though, cool beans!) Ate yummy mexican style food after. Wish it was closer to home man!

Helped out with a Lobster Dinner fund raiser for my church. Was delicious! And got to see a friends baby fall in love with lobster legs, so cute! He just loved to suck on them. Oh and hello made hundreds of cheddar biscuits like red lobster for this event. Kitchen smelled great for days :) Did I mention how good the corn was?!? yummm...

Took a drive down to Orlando. Meant to use Winnie's little sister Jett (oh yes we are cheesy and now have Winnie and the Jett for fun motoring purposes) but ended up with Winnie due to Gustav's residual weather. Ate in Cinderella's Castle with the fireworks outside the window. Paddle boated. Swam in the rain :) Ate so much good food! Fulton's Crab House is awesome!! We are talking 12 king crab claws each! Delish! I had Cherry cobbler for dessert, hubs had filet mignon, seriously!

And Wednesday we got to go to the U.S. Open. Watched the William's sisters play each other in the quarter finals. AWESOME! and then we got to see #1 Nadal vs. Fish. Also an AWESOME match. Not to mention we ended up court side only 3 rows from the court floor. The fun night lasted til 2:30am. Did I mention the fabulous banana split we shared?

Good grief so now I am trying to pretend to come up with a work out plan to counter act all the eating this last month! Either join a gym, start skating again, work out at home, all 3, none of the above :) Hmm maybe I should rollerblade on the path, been awhile since I did that too!

But yay it has been a fun food filled year so far! And with all this fun, man I only knit one pair of socks all summer! I still need to take the pics though. Good grief :)

* yes I love STYX. Can't help myself. ]]> General http://myafinari.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=239 Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:31:11 -0700
