  • take it off my hands, part IV – the yarn one

    Holy comments, Batman! Awesome. I knew that’d bring out the lurkers ;)

    So, without further ado, the winners:

    Twinkle’s Weekend Knits – Jeanine
    Classic Knits at Home – Michelle

    Winners have been emailed. I felt bad I couldn’t give books to everyone!

    So up next… a rather large yarn destash. Prices are in USD or CDN (they’re close enough anyway) and include shipping to Canada and the US. If you’re international, let me know and I’ll amend the price. Payment by Paypal, balance transfer or credit cards – and please don’t send money until I’ve confirmed. Please, help me make room!

    Visit my destashing page!

    Finally, since every blog entry needs a photo (well, not really, but whatever), my finished Manos Silk cardigan body. Any ideas for names?

    This took a bit under four skeins, so I think I’m on track to use just 7 skeins for the whole sweater!

    P.S. Insidious spammers have somehow hacked in and may be putting in horrible filthy links at the bottom of my posts, as read in blog readers (but not on the blog page itself, weirdly). Any ideas on how to stop them? Please let me know if you see anything off! I’ve deleted some stuff already, and it doesn’t show up in the RSS feed anymore, but Bloglines may not have updated yet. Argh.

  • destashing, blue yarn edition

    Thanks everyone for the congratulations! It’s been a pretty crazy week – I’m looking forward to staying home tomorrow and relaxing (and watching House on DVD!). I was planning to go buy more plants but I think I’m going to try and put that off until Monday. Unfortunately, my zucchini plants are being eaten quite badly by striped cucumber beetles – that’s something I really need to take care of now!

    Meanwhile, as a broke new graduate, care to take some yarn off my hands? Email me at cosmicpluto at gmail dot com if you’re interested in anything.
