Knitting fears or are they really dreams

1. That I will actually plan to knit a toilet paper holder. But this sushi one is great.

2. That I will knit a toilet paper holder, no wait, a holder for the whole 6 pack of TP. Ok so I think this could have possibilities.

3. Ditto with knitting the whole family house shoes, this would be with acrylic yarn, probably in a lime green or orange color. But these are cute.

4.  That I will go blind and not be able to knit, no wait I bet I could still knit, well this woman does.

5. I would lose use of my hands, but we all know that little girl that draws with her toes. Is there anybody out there that knits with toes? Oh yeah, just found it on where else You Tube.

6. That I would get the urge to knit a life size Unicorn, or maybe I wouldn't be able to figure out how to knit a life size Unicorn.

7. I would die and someone would not "appreciate" all of the fibery goodness that is in my house.

8. That I could finally manage to figure out how to drive and knit responsibly. A policeman spots a women knitting and driving at the same time, he shouts out the windows "Pullover!", she yells back "no, a pair of socks".

9. I will stop having fantasy knitting daydreams during work meetings.

Review of a Kick Spindles Or Mother Marion to spin

When I made the decision to buy a Kick spindle I could find very little info on it, anywhere. Below is what I gathered, bought and my experience with mine. I could only find two being marketed, since I purchased mine I have found a third. Below is my views on the Kick spindle I purchased (Little Meggie from Heavenly Handspinning), and some info on all of the other Kick Spindles that I could locate. Links and costs are included. Review: Things I like about my Kick Spindle. 1. Long spin time, I like the addition of the ball bearing. 2. Leaves both hands free to draft 3. It's my "wheel" 4. I like using my foot, I am moving around and don't get stiff from one position. It's a very "active" type, rhythmic motion. 5. You can actually stand and use it also. 6. Great price point. 7. I have never spun on a wheel and when I sat down at one the first time, I could actually spin (some) I think this action of foot/hand coordination helped. 8.

Aran Shrug, Bridesmaid Wrap, Baby Bunting Pattern free

Here is the start of my "Bridesmaid wrap" from " Wedding Knits " by Suss Cousins. I am making it out of heavier yarn, From Handpainted yarns I love the yarn it is so soft and the colors are beautiful. The wrap is made in mohair in the book. I plan on making it a shorter wrap, due to the heavier yarn. I hope it turns out OK . If you check out the book link, there is photo of it. If you want a free Bridesmaid wrap pattern this is a lovely one from Knitty! I made this baby bunting, on the spur of the moment, just playing around. I used one skein of red heart yarn, and a small amount of the fun fur yarn in a coordinating color. Cast on 80 stitches at 4 sts /inch. Knit in the round, until 24 inches long. If you would rather knit flat, knit even rows, purl odd rows. Add Fun fur yarn, or other novelty yarn for the last 10 rows. Bind off, using a very loose bind off. I like to use the Elizabeth Zimmerman method of the Sewn Bind off
