Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

I finished it. Started at 8:30 this morning, finished at 10:30 tonight. Several breaks in between to catch my breath and process. I wanted to know but I didn't want it to be over. I will reread this book a million times.

Happy Reading!

Yarny Goodness

The Studio had their Christmas in July gumball sale today. See all of my yarny goodness! All of this totaled up to around $60. I got it for $6.50. How crazy and wonderful is that!! If you are in the KC area, stop by tomorrow as the sale continues. From 10-12 am you get an extra 15% off.

Here is what I bought:
Brittany size 8 needles (I like them because they look like wands)
Blue Sky Alpaca Organic Cotton (probably for a Baby Bolero from One Skein)
Blue Sky Alpaca Alpaca/Silk blend (red and brown for the knitted bags in Last Minute Knitted Gifts)
Koigu KPPM (not sure what I'm going to do with this yet)

Beware of The Clap

Am I crazy to think I can make Clapotis out of two skeins of Koigu?? 'Cause that's all I've got...


I've really been wanting to cast on for something new but haven't. It's been so hot here and that causes me to be really lazy. All I've done lately is read (I've finished all 6 Harry Potter books now) and look at blogs.

Today I did manage a pattern repeat on Branching Out. That puts me up to a whopping 17 repeats. I think I started it last fall. Someday I will actually finish the project.

Let me know what you think. I will probably have casted on for the Clap but I'd love to hear everyone's opinion.
