Welcome to Yarnarchy!

Ahhh, yarnarchy, yarnarchist. nice to meet y'all. Things are going to be a tad slow here till i get around to taking and editing pictures of my current knits-in-progress, but I shall use this time to introduce myself.

'Allo, m'name is Trish, and i'm a yarnarchist. What exactly is Yarnarchy? Well, it's sort of a clever play on words or so i'd like to think. Yarn + Anarchy = Yarnarchy. Except, well, yarnarchy has nothing to do with disestablishmentarianism or the like.

It is what it is.

Anyways, i'm just a college gal who spends my time with my animals, my books, my computer, and of course- my yarn.

Hang around, and i'll get to the knitting as soon as can be.

Purty new things

Hey errybody that may still read this. Sorry bout an extreme lack of updates. Over winter i managed to knit two really awesome hats, some scarves, and now that brings me to the summer knitting season. I picked up the Spring/Summer Vogue knitting issue, and fell in love with the first pattern in it- for a really gorgeous beaded shell. I'm not sure if i'll do the beading or the ribbon work, but who knows? I just hope to have it done for the beach, and as this is my first really complicated/wearable item i hope it turns out at least 'pretty good'. So, here a pic of the "finished product" as in the magazine: And here's what i have thus far: The yarn the pattern calls for (and for once the one i used) is Plymouth "Fantasy Naturale" which i got 7 skeins for $33, amazing price thanks Kathy at Kathy's Kreations. I'll keep this updated as i move along, and try to get some pictures of those hats up too!

Yes another...

Hey folks. Last year about this time i received my first free ipod. And yea, by free i do mean - FREE -. The way these offers work are that you complete an offer- usually companys like AOL, Stamps.com, and Netflix have offers for you to complete but there are many different types of offers if one of those don't suit your personal tastes. Then, you have 5 people sign up and do the same. These companys give the offer sites money for getting people to sign up, and they reward their members with items like free ipods! Anyways, this offer is for a Free Video Ipod. If you want the 30 gig you'll have to have 5 people sign up, if you want a 60 gig you'll have to have 8 people sign up. If you are interested you can sign up Here . Thanks!

Steeler's hat for the baby- very easy to make. Cut a rectangle that is 7" or so longer and an inch wide than the desired head size (I found a baby head size chart by googling, well "baby head size chart"), make a brim by folding over the bottom edge twice (should take up about 3" of fabric), fold fabric right sides together and sew with a half inch seam, turn rightside out. About 4" down from the top edge, start cutting fringes about 3/4" to 1" wide, all the way around. Take an extra length of fabric, wrap around the bottom of the fringes, and voila! 10 minute baby hat!
