I started on a new afghan this weekend after binding off my lavendar one. This one is knitted with two strands of Homespun and all rows are knitted. This is for my fiancee's sister who just bought a vacation home in Oregon. Beings that it is rather cool up there I will provide her with ultra warmth afghan for a house warming gift.
I am also knitting a pair of socks with yarn from KnitPiks. It is fingerling and that is just a tad too thin for me.
I bought some STR from Stitches West and will start those socks also. The colors are just to dye for! (pun intended)
I ordered a video for toe-up socks on two circular needles. I feel this will be a challenge but will be fun to do.
I bought a pattern and woolease yarn from JoAnn's for a fisherman sweater for Rob. He loves all those cables and different stitches. That will have to be knit when it's quiet so I can keep track of my stitches. I haven't knitted a sweater in many years!
I have a guild meeting this coming Saturday. It should be fun.

Today I'm reorganizing my yarn room. I have counted cross stitch supplies in there also. I'm not sure what to do with all the books yet as I pulled them out of my reading room and need a new place to put them. I have knitting, crochet and cross stitch books and pamphlets.
I am going to the Stitches West tomorrow. That will be very exciting! I will get to see and feel all the yarn. I hope to run into others from the lists I'm on. I'll take pictures too!
