The Ice Machine Cometh

Our old ice machine (Wilbur) gave up the ghost so we had to buy a new one. Now, we liked our ol' Wilbur - so named because of the piggy noises that he use to make - and will miss his little idiosyncracies. The NEW machine is prettier and quiter but missing that little spark, that touch of individuallity that good ol' Wilbur had. We haven't named the new machine yet but we are certain she is a girl. :-)

Changing the subject just a bit.... This Friday is Knit Nite and our theme is "Show & Tell." Bring in your favorite or most recent or most perplexing project to share with the group. Here is a photo of my latest (completed) project - a Fleece Artist Stretto Poncho. I just love those colors! It was fun and easy to do. We still have some kits left so be sure to take a look next time you drop by.

One down, one to go

I finished one of my Yarn Pirate socks and have cast on the second. (see "Our First Blog" for a photo) I don't know about you but if I don't cast on that second sock right away..... Anway, it looks great! (I'll load up a picture tomorrow - no camera today.)

I decided to make yesterday a "finish-what-you've-started" day and put the finishing touches on two other projects I had in the works. One is a beautiful Stretto Poncho from our pals at Fleece Artist and the other is a cute little crocheted bunny baby hat out of Dreambaby DK. I'll have them both in the shop by Tuesday and I'll load up some photos. Fun stuff!
