Rose Knitted Glasses

I don't know that I would make it my permanent home but, like many, this city has captured my heart You Belong in Paris Stylish and a little sassy, you were meant for Paris. The art, the fashion, the wine, the men! Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park... You'll love living in the most chic place on earth. What City Do You Belong In?

Not too much has been going on in Rosie Land. The Picovoli. For some reason the Picovoli, she was sllooooowww going during the early part of the week. I do a large part of my knitting on the train on the way home. I have a 45 minute commute so it’s a good chunk of time in the morning and afternoon. And normally I physically knit very fast. I’m not saying I zip through projects but once I get a groove going, I’m actually pretty fast. I’m sure you know what I mean. But this week, I just couldn’t get my hands to zip along as they normally do. I didn’t know what was up. I’m not bored with the thing. I’m actually really enjoying the pattern.

It's been a crazy week but I assure you I had blogging on my mind daily. First of all. Didja see? Didja see? Black Purl , that clevah online needle craft zine named this humble little blog Blog of the Week? . I was so pleased. I loved that zine. They have really great articles and free patterns. If you haven't yet travelled over there, I suggest you do. But thanks to NaSheika and L'Tonya at Black Purl it was such a neat surprise to click on the newsletter and see my name pop up. Made my week. Ok. I have to back track a little and give you the events from Sunday. It was the first Sunday of the month which meant Sunday Spinners got together again. I had a blast. These clever ladies always have something new in the works. I've learned SO much from them it's hard to believe this was only my 3rd meeting. Kris, who runs the group is amazing. She's an incredibly talented spinner and she put together this little contraption. Now all week I made sure to remember what th...

I just wanted to direct you to a couple of posts of interest. Newbie Knitter Help Eunny of See Eunny Knits posted a WONDERFUL tutorial on blocking recently and I used it to block my Chickami. It really did wonders for it. I'm a real newbie at all of this so I really appreciate it when someone takes the time to lay out instructions like this and Eunny is a wonderful resource. So if any of you think you may need help in this area, you can see it here . Or if just want to see any of Eunny's fantastic tutorials or the AMAZING jacket she's working on right now, you can go to her blog by clicking on her name in my side bar. I also found Episode 2 of Lara's Podcast Math4Knitters very helpful this week in deciding which yarn I was going to make Picovoli in. You can access the dowload to this podcast by going here . Knitter Soup for the Soul Ms. Memeeflye of nerdOpotamus posted a really great Marianne Williamson quote recently and I think everyone should read it. So if you...
