Lots of Catching Up to Do

A photoblog, for everyone's enjoyment.


The Steeked Vest from Teva Durham's (MY FAVORITE DESIGNER!) Loop-d-Loop. I used Rowan's new yarn, Holiday. It needs a really bare nude cami - I'm on the hunt!


The Steeked Vest and a little preview of the Glam Shawl. This picture pretty much illustrates our weekends at the the Sheep: Denny working hard/sweeping, Erin doing nothing/taking pictures.


A wondeful basic (but HUGE) shawl out of Crystal Palace Glam. Just a garter stitch triangular shawl, but a cool crochet edging is done out of Louisa Harding's new Shingle yarn. It might be a bit tricky to see but there are sparkly pailettes around the edges.
Also important here: the new ruffly skirt & ruffly matching purse. I'd planned on buying a purse from Yoka as a prize for getting gold in the Olympics but when I got back it was sold. So I picked this one up at the Calgary Art Gallery. Ruffly purse=good.


A WIP (don't blink or I'll be done). Cute sweater/shirt from the Holiday Vogue (same mag as the great Olympic project) out of Jaeger Trinity. The front, which I ripped, only took 1 ball, great yardage. Just don't knit while eating strawberry cheesecake. Trust me.

Hi there. It's Erin here. I've decided to editorialize right here, chez Denny, as it's likely one of my last posts as her christened blog bitch. Basically, someone needs to pick up the torch and help the Dennster blog cause it is going to be purdy difficult blogging from Peg city. I'm offering it up yo. Who wants to be the new blog bitch? Who wants to be the new me? Leave a comment.

mmmmm cheesecake

I am back..... from hoildays. Oh restful time. Get up, knit, make coffee, knit, watch T.V., knit, go for lunch, knit, try not to spill raspberry sauce on knitting (yummm chessecake with raspberry sauce). Oh my goodness time for a rest. Get up,knit, where to have supper? Eat,eat,eat. Look at the time! Hot tub time. TEN DAYS. How do you make ten of hoildays feel like a month? Do f**k all people, thats all. I'll be walking home from work for the next month. Ten days of cheese cake. Restful hoilday = not slimming.

I also now know I don't need Martha's cooking school. But I had to watch, just in case there was something, ya know? O.K. tomorrow will bring more blogging and pictures!
I did take my spinning wheel too, one needs a hoilday from knitting.

Tech Support

I apologize for the long absence of Denny's blog. Something is up with blogger. I'm not a technorati but my htmp kung fu is, on occasion, quite strong. Let's see if we can figure this out together.

(Belated) Gold Medalist

I got a gold. Now to treat myself to that new bag. Humm, a new bag from Yoka (the sheeps clothing store of choice) or a trip to Tuscany with these gals! Amy was in the shop today and I asked her if she may need an assistant. I am a trained sous chief as will as a damed fine ends weaver in-er. Ask any one I love to sew in ends. I used to do it for chocolate, but now I just do it to feel the love. That and I can't eat the chocolate any more(makes a certain part of my body ache, enough said.)

I think if I don't buy any yarn for a few weeks I could pay for the trip(in my dreams) But really, at the end of the week me,and my wee family are going on a ski trip to Kicking Horse. It's in Golden B.C. Hey I guess that will be my reward for knitting like a crazy lady for two weeks! Golden for getting gold.

My nephew Eli is liveing in Golden this winter, and his mom (my sister-in-law) is going too. This is all good even though I don't ski. Don't even want to try. But I will go up in the gondola to the top of the mountain. To sit in the fancy pants restaurant, drink tea, and spin yarn. Yup you heared right, I'm taking my Little Gem spinning wheel on holiday. Yea for me ,my turn for a trip. (Sorry Amy, sew your own ends in.)

On the needles: just knit a Teva Durham. The steaked vest from Loop de Loop. Knit that puppy out of the new yarn from Rowan, Hoilday. Then I'm making a shawl from my left overs from my oylmpic sweater. As well as a ton of shop knitting for the sheep. Erin will take pics tomorrow. As my friend Tabby says ,peace out.
