I think I'm Out of Control!

You know how it is when you are perusing the internet and you see that lovely yarn that you just can't resist? Yeah, well, I am now in the process of cleaning up my stash, and, ahem, I think I have a problem. You know, like "Hi, my name is June and I can't stop buying yarn and any fiber related object." Now, don't get me wrong, I have never had to rob Peter to pay for my purchases, but I'm starting to feel pretty guilty about it! So, next week I will have pictures of yarn for sale for the price of postage, just to get some of this in hands that will knit it!!

First off the barn: Look at all those toys!! And he is upset with my two spinning wheels??? Nawh, he really is the best - Look how far we've gotten!



So, anyway, on to other things, I have been trying to grow jade plants ever since I can remember (and that's a long time) and this is the best I have ever, ever done. I wanted to transplant it and give it some nutrients, but of course we have about one tablespoon of dirt left in the dirt bag in the garage. . . so, next week I hope.




And on the needles is: Hyrna -














I am not fast especially when I have three things going right now! But look at this, I just love, love, love this color from Ms. Lisa:

Graphite:












And of course, two pairs of socks: Mermaid (for me in size women's size 6)






OK: This pair should count as two pairs!!! BBS for Socks for Soldiers men's size large 10 - 11, Good Grief they are huge! Men have enormously big feet!

June - I think the Hyrna/Graphite is Really pretty! Did you spin it yourself? I can't tell I'm too far away to see.

I also see your jade plant. You can see the red tips on some of the leaves. This is a healthy sign that is, it has plenty of sunshine. Still need a bit more "dirt" however!

Finally - good luck with the barn building.

I find Jade plants difficult to grow, too. Hyrna is looking lovely as are the socks!

Yes, well, I don't understand that at all. I just fell victim to the Apricol Lorna's Laces virus this afternoon and have only now recovered (after ordering). I absolutely love this color and there it was on a blog. Do I need sock yarn? Do I MAKE sock yarn? No and yes.

Have a lovely!

Your jade plant looks very happy. My mum has always told me that it's important to have one in the house for luck!
