Episode 6 Notes! - A Bloglines Revue
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008News:
Still in Vancouver. Then I’ll be on the Island. Then Van. Then Vic. Then Van. Where am I? What’s my name?
The Millicents are D.O.N.E. I took photos, but forgot to upload them, and now half my belongings are on the mainland, half on the island. Camera is here, connector cord is there.
A Bloglines Revue!
For starters, Bloglines is a great website that helps you read blogs. You add ‘feeds’ (blogs) to your list, and read them all in once place.
I have 113 in mine, but don’t worry, I didn’t mention all of them! Please go visit these blogs, and read the other entries too! Comment, it’ll be fun, I swear. 
- And She Knits Too - Earth Stripe Wrap in Kidslik Haze. Yum.
- Close to My Heart - Chocolate! The Norwegian Woods Shawl, and Roza’s Socks. Both done in yarn from Elann, a wonderful online yarn store with amazing prices.
- CraftyGrrrl.ca - is spinning yarn for an ENTIRE sweater! I bow down before teh skillz. She might be using fibres from Enchanted Knoll at Etsy. Yummy.
- Domesticrafts - Domesticat is making Rambling Rose in very saturated, squishy-looking Socks that Rock. I’ll have to get my hands on some of that when I’m off the yarn diet.
- Grumperina - is making pretty striped socks, with NO jogs! The technique takes advantage of the fact that knitting in the round is technically knitting in a spiral.
- Hello Yarn - Baby Surprise Jacket in such cute yarn. I love these jackets, and want to make one.
- Diversion - I need to get my hands on Romantic Handknits. If someone gives me the book, does that get my out of my no buying patterns rule? I think so!
- Knits a Beautiful Life - Artfibres yarn. Coned yarn is almost as cute as yarn cakes, especially with photos as good as these!
- Knitting Philistine - an entry full of single socks, all appropriate for the current Project Spectrum.
- Lolly Knitting Around - Hexagon Blanket is already cuddly and warm-looking, even though it is still on the needles.
- SlippedStitch - Messy Tuesdays! So much more do-able than Eye candy Fridays, I think.
- Through the Loops - Cute, simple, pretty hat. I love the colours, and the garter brim looks so cushy and squishy.
- Yarn Storm - Simple socks in rich, rich Kaffe Fasset Regia Caribbean yarn.
Here’s a tutorial for for making your own light tent. I vaguely followed it; as much as I could the materials I had at hand.
Zen Yarn Garden - The Semi-solid sock yarn club I’m in. I love it, wish I had the money to continue.

My Stash Count is at: 17km (10.5 miles). My goal is 10km, and I’m not allowed to buy yarn until I’m below that mark. sigh. Have a look at my stash on Ravelry, and let me know if there is anything you want!
Music:
Today’s music is Bah Hamburg by Junction Pool.
As always the theme music is Greensleeves by Lee Harris and the Tijuana Trumpets.
Both pieces are from the Podsafe Music Network.
