The Husbeast bought me a crochet hook set for Christmas (it just arrived during the week) and in it were two huge hooks. So I cut up some old t-shirts and started a rag rug. Now I want to cut up a million old t-shirts and make a ton of these.

I miss you, US of A. I am enjoying snow pictures, keep them coming. It is hot here and I have a wicked fever/migraine combo and the puffiest eyes. Thankful for the weekend. Anxiety sucks.
carbonsoup:
Haha - sometimes it looks like I really like cup noodles, but these just make me laugh so much. I'm still not feeling like casting anything new, so the blanket has been growing. I also love how funny @oocha's bunny nugget looks. (And I should be in bed bu

Hey @align - as promised. It's healed up pretty perfectly, thank you so much for the stellar job. I'm incredibly blessed to have a piece of yours.
carbonsoup:
Cat butt seal of approval. I love this project, I love working with yarns from friends, it makes me smile to know that we are sharing, it is like a sisterhood. (Brothers included).
carbonsoup:
A little late for a #tbt (since it's Friday here), but back to when Jiji was a little munchkin! Can you believe that we have had her for 4 years now? I can't!
carbonsoup:
Perth sunsets are always pretty. I think I have knitting ennui. I'm still knitting, but I don't feel like casting on anything new.

More tidying. Keep or sell? I love the ring, but don't love the person who gave it to me. la vie est un sommeil, l'amour en est le reve et vous aurez vecu si vous avez aime//life may well be a sleep, love the dream in it and you have lived if you have lov

Sorting through books to keep or throw. I want your skull vol. 6. Features one of my favourite drawings by @align. Keep. Because it makes me happy. Also because I can't get enough of Cassy's artwork. I love the little halo.
carbonsoup:
I relish laundry day. I spread my pottery towel on the floor and fold my shirts, finger pressing them (even though I like ironing, I need to make time for craft) - the little moment I take to fold, I give gratitude to the sun and the earth for growing the
carbonsoup:
In decluttering efforts, I am knitting on a sock that just needs a foot & toe to make a complete pair. I am also starting Sons of Anarchy because @nbknitting seems to like it.
carbonsoup:
When my anxiety is bad, I go to simple tasks. Tasks that do not need to be completed, or perfect, but allows moments of just allowing my mind to be absorbed. Sometimes writers hit home runs pretty hard and words dislodge seeds, unblocking vessels, letting
carbonsoup:
Setting in my first sleeves! I've always tried to avoid seaming in sweaters but honestly? The needle that @suecarney sent makes all seaming and sewing and weaving in such a pleasure.
carbonsoup:
Starting book 3 of the year.

This boy never likes being touched after he has seen someone patting Jiji. 😔
carbonsoup:
Heehee, we were given this tomato. The Husbeast wants to save the seeds in the hope that we will get more funny ones. #maybetwo #orthree?

I am home sick today (fever and vomiting, hope it's not gastro), so I am Dewey decimal-ing my books. While I'm upset it's no longer sorted by type of knitting (ie sweaters/socks), I like things in numerical and alphabetical order. Oh geez, I'm really show

Sneaking some spinning in before work. After I'm done with this fibre, I'll be working on some 3 ply sock yarns for the shop. It's been quiet, and I am still not used to having a full time job.
carbonsoup:
Taking it easy - #operationsockdrawer knitting with jasmine tea and WERS, on a camping chair on our "porch" (what is it called if it's not raised?)

There could be worse ways to enter the new year. 20 miles logged. Happy 2015, folks.

Hi Jesse @oocha! This is #widn! Knitting on my new Hickory socks out of @spunrightround Jellyfish from @suecarney! 😁 oh and one of my new bags from @littlecreatable!!!
carbonsoup:
A wee bit more fleece washing and knitting on my first Knit Picks Felici socks. Thanks @oocha! Verdict: I love this yarn! #operationsockdrawer
carbonsoup:
This morning's sky reminds me of a marbled indigo dyed fabric.
carbonsoup:
Washing and prepping a fleece takes so much time. I guess 2015 is going to be all about slowing down and appreciating the sheep and the farmer.
carbonsoup:
From fleece to the beginnings of yarn. I'm running out of processed fleece so I will need to wash again this morning. 🐑
carbonsoup:
Oh my stinkin' heck Lacey @moonroveryarn! I was wondering about the shipment notification... I am overwhelmed! So much BMO goodness! Thank you!!!!
carbonsoup:
So happy to be in on the kombucha action. The batch that just finished secondary fermentation is super good, flavoured with acai berries. How's yours going @eadenyarns ?
carbonsoup:
Over the past week I have been diligently weaving in the ends of 24 pairs of socks. These are almost all the socks I knit in 2014. Including the ones I have in progress and the ones I've given away (or put away), I knit 0.55 of a sock a week, approximatel
carbonsoup:
Christmas socks, done. Pattern is Monkey by Cookie A. Yarn is Yarn Yard Toddy in Harvest.
carbonsoup:
My dear friend @suecarney sure knows I have a lot of ends to weave in. Since coming back home with this beautiful needle she sent me home with, I have been diligently weaving, weaving, weaving. I think I'm halfway there. I think.
