Organizing

Today I managed to organize my Ravelry queue by matching some old yarn with potential projects.  I have some SW Melody ribbon yarn which I plan to make a Trellis shawl sometime soon.  Looks like an easy project.

A couple of years ago, I tried in vain to crochet  Moda Dea Dream mohair yarn and got frustrated.  That has been matched up with a knit Dream Shrug.  Nice that that name matches too. 

A Crocheting Record Set!

And two nationally famous people involved....Deborille Norville and Lily Chin except maybe Lily is only known to crocheters and knitters.

Color in Photos Online and Macs

I just read a post where a woman was surprised that since she purchased an iMac, her project photos showed in true color. Really astonished that she didn't know that. It shows the superiority of the mac in photo reproduction. Some of my projects show too dark on Windows monitors.

Finally Doing This!

Politics is getting me down..so this is my fiber therapy blogging. It's about time I did this. It will provide a place for me to blog about my adventures and misadventures in the land of fiber. Right now I do a bit of it on my pieces of Ravelry but not enough to vent my fascination and frustration with crocheting and knitting although right now more of the former. Just unraveled a second sock for the first time! OOH, it's frustrating. At least the start looks better than before. I should not have set such time constraints for myself. Rushed and messed up.

Also on the back burner, there is a crochet project from last year that I REALLY wanted to finish. However after showing it to a local person I consider an expert, she advised me to frog the shoulder and turn it around as I had the right and wrong sides mixed up.

So you see, fiber wishing ..much?
