Last night I was not in a knitting mood. I am sure that if anyone was reading they just closed the page but if you are still here I just could not bring my self to knit. I knitted for a hour while watching a movie with my daughters then I could not convince myself to pick it back up after they went to sleep. This was a good thing though because in the time period that I would of spent knitting I was able to finely go through the last of my yarn mess that I called a stash and clean out all the ugly yarn that I bought when I was a new knitter. I through away a ton of yarn that had managed to knot it self up during our move this summer. I also finely was able to but together a bag of yarn that I know that I either hate because it's from my fancy yarn faze or that I just know I will never get to knitting up. Hopefully it finds a new home where it will be worked on and loved. It always made me feel sad to see the bags of yarn just sitting there. Now I will be able to buy yarn again and not feel bad.
I was also able to pull out my wheel and spin up some of the super wash that I have wanted to spin into sock yarn since I bought it 2 years ago this thanksgiving. It is spinning up nicely I already have half a spool full. I think I will use it to knit my daughters each a pair of socks.

Good luck with your new blog! I look forward to pictures with your new camera. While knitting is still my first love, I've been trying my hand at dyeing and just learned to spin with a spindle (what fun!). If you like podcasts, check out www.knitayarn.com - we have video podcasts.
