I also don't think I've had any visitors! :) So this is just going to be a list of things I'd like to get, as a reminder to myself. I think I'll mostly limit it to things I want for knitting, maybe sewing as well.<br /><br />Blue Moon Fibre Arts (mostly in STR) Colourways:<br /><br />Atomic 6<br />Backstabber<br />Bejewelled<br />Chapman Springs<br />Crabby McCrabbypants<br />Fire on the Mountain<br />Gingerbread Dude<br />Goody Goody<br />Grimm's Willow Wren<br />Hot Flash<br />Iolite<br />Jasper<br />Lover's Leap<br />Moody Blues<br />Nyame<br />OmaDesala<br />Peacock<br />Peek-a-boo Peony<br />Pride<br />Puck's Mischief<br />Purple Rain<br />Rook-y<br />Sherbet<br />Sapphire<br />ST-2<br />Star Sapphire<br />The Incredible Shrinking Violet<br />Turquoise<br />Waterlilies<br /><br />Lorna's Laces:<br /><br />Bittersweet<br />Black Purl<br />Child's Play<br />Crazy Stripe<br />Fresh Stripe<br />Girly Stripe<br />Hawaii<br />Iris Garden<br />Jungle Stripe<br />Uptown<br />Mt Creek<br />Rainbow<br />River<br /><br />Wollmeise:<br /><br />Pfauenauge<br />Am Kalten Polar<br />Rittersporn<br />Gewitterhimmel<br />Sultan<br />Poison Nr. 5<br /><br />Other yarns:<br /><br />Kauni Effektgarn 8/2 in the rainbow colourway<br />Noro Silk Garden Sock in S273, S276, S304, S308<br /><br />Books:<br /><br />The Enchanted Sole<br />Sock Innovation<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5697413219272415772-7463003114771606857?l=mineralknits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02591484933005525101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697413219272415772.post-59581831659716312392009-03-19T15:24:00.001-07:002009-03-19T15:25:38.964-07:00Hmm. It's been a very, very long time since I first posted. However, since we're not back at work I've not had a lot to report. Done some knitting (posted on Ravelry), and a bit of sewing and cooking.<br /><br />I'm currently proofing soft pretzels, and trying to come up with a cheese and mustard dip. I don't have beer, or easy access to beer, which makes things more complicated.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5697413219272415772-5958183165971631239?l=mineralknits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02591484933005525101noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5697413219272415772.post-2706609570374729602009-01-16T10:35:00.001-08:002009-01-16T10:43:21.199-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SehYmHz_TFM/SXDU5-3OYjI/AAAAAAAAAM8/ENc3ER1_DUU/s1600-h/Chert+sphere+02.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SehYmHz_TFM/SXDU5-3OYjI/AAAAAAAAAM8/ENc3ER1_DUU/s320/Chert+sphere+02.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291963654752592434" /></a><br /><i>A sphere of chert or a silicified ooid on Vancouver Island, BC</i><br /><br />I decided to make another start at blogging. Ravelry has mostly taken over my knitting, which was my primary reason for having a blog for the last number of years. However, now with a new job far away from (easy) contact with my friends and family and a new digital camera, I thought it was worth another shot.<br /><br />I'm also going to be a little less personal on this blog, and keep a few more things to myself. I've locked my old blogs, but if you're interested in seeing them you can drop me a comment and I can possibly add you to the reader list.<br /><br />I'm a knitter and geologist who has recently graduated from University and is engaged to a pretty wonderful guy, whom I work with out in BC. We are currently living in Winnipeg (we travel back and forth on our times off) with our two cats, and are attempting to plan a wedding - but due to our work schedule and some health issues beyond our control, this is proving exceedingly difficult.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5697413219272415772-270660957037472960?l=mineralknits.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Karliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02591484933005525101noreply@blogger.com0
