Ok, so I finally started the first of my stash clearing projects... yoga socks!

I have this lovely 100% wool yarn (soft not itchy!) that I bought from Lucy Neatby - it's called Sugar Maple. All made in Canada!

And then I bought this Yoga Socks pattern by Lisa Bennett from Meadowood Designs. (You can also check out Lisa's blog here - Meadowood Designs.)

Here's how it's going so far:

I just gone through my stash (yarn stash that is) looking for inspiration.

It's been a while since I've actually knit anything.

I've also gone through my stack of books (specifically my three favourite ones) and I've decided it's time to actually make something from them. Would make sense no?






And I now have a plan. I've tagged each pattern I want to try. And where possible, use up my stash.

The problem (only slight!) with my stash though is that I have too little of each colour/type of yarn for most of the projects I want to do... So I'll have to mix'n'match I think and keep my fingers crossed that it will all work out.

At any rate I think this will be fun!

I love getting mail, so I was extra excited when I got a package from saucedesigns.com.



Inside my Samba Sauce Ring in Red Coral was wrapped up in hot pink and electric blue tissue and made me think of candy. She also included a cute card/note, her business cards, a few magnets and pens (again all in her signature colours). I'm a fan of packaging so getting my ring and all these extra little goodies was pretty darn impressive!



So a big THANKS to Liz (Chief Diva of Design) over at saucedesigns.com!

I got an email today telling me my sushi was featured on Treasury West on Etsy.

Admittedly, I have no idea what Treasury West is, or how many people go to that page, but I have to admit I think this is pretty cool. Pretty cool indeed!
