Now that Cursed Child has come out and I've read it (I have mixed reviews.....I liked it but I didn't LOVE it) it's time for the next thing: the 2016 Ravellenic Games!
The Ravellenic Games, formerly known as the Knitting Olympics, is something that Ravelry puts on and takes place during the Olympics. You challenge yourself to do something yarn-related starting during the Opening Ceremonies and finishing during the Closing Ceremonies. I've done it twice, getting medals during the 2010 games in Vancouver and the 2012 games in London. (I don't know what I was doing in 2014 during the winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.) Looking to add 2016 in Rio to my Knitting Glory List.
Usually I cast on something new and challenge myself to finish it. The first time, I was a green knitter and cast on a simple scarf. In 2012, we were on vacation and on the road a lot. So I challenged myself to make as many baby hats for charity as I could in that time period. This year, casting on something new seemed daunting. So I am wrestling with WIP's. (works in progress.) I chose six things:
My Hufflepuff House Scarf, which just needs ends woven in and fringe.
My Sewanee shawl, which is off on it's stitch count before I can do the lace edging.
Oh my goodness---my spring cardigan. This thing.....I want to finish but I don't know if I ever will. I'm going to try!
A newborn hat and sock set--I can remember working on this in 2014 and tossing it aside, since it didn't have an intended recipient. Hat and one sock are done, and how hard can it be to pull off a second sock? Pretty hard, I guess.
Sundance lacy hat for charity-a little white lace hat that I started the other night while waiting (fuming) on additional yarn for something else. (I'm not ready to talk about it.)
And finally, the damned, damned blue vanilla socks.
Thanks to Brian hooking up a fancy antenna to our TV (no channel 7 on DirecTv because of some crazy dispute) I will be watching the Opening Ceremonies and starting on the WIP pile. The way I see it, I'm a winner if ANY of these things are completed by the end of the Olympics!!

Rhinebeck!!!
The mecca for all knitters/crocheters/fiber enthusiasts. The holiday of the year!
I never thought I'd be able to arrange going, since it's about 3.5 hours from home. But it turns out that Webs offers a bus trip and tickets were a mere $45.00. For $45.00 you get a ride that you don't have to drive, a busful of awesome knitters like yourself all excited to be going somewhere, the ticket to the Rhinebeck Sheep and Wool Festival and your name entered in several of Webs' fabulous raffles. (Mom and I won none of them, but all of our seatmates around us seemed to hit the jackpot.)
Mom stayed over on Friday night because Saturday was going to be a super-early start. Brian scoffed my "I'm going to get up at 4:45AM!" and remarked that this was something that he just had to see. True to my word, when the alarm on my phone went off, I popped out of bed and said "Look at that, I'm up and no snooze button!" (it helps to have a continual nightmare that you've missed the bus.)
5:30 AM: Mom and I are in her truck, cruising down the MassPike in the dark. We made it in plenty of time for the 6:30am bus boarding, and it was a fairly uneventful trip to the Duchess County Fairgrounds. Well, except for the part where it took 45 minutes to get in there. But what are you gonna do, it's a fantastically popular place! People flock from all over to attend this. I've never seen anything like it, I've been to a few festivals but this was by far the biggest gathering of "my people," all wearing hand-knits and radiating excitement. And oh....the hand-knits! Everyone oohs and aahs over things that people are wearing, and they bond over patterns and yarn types. Chatting about yarn and patterns almost sounds like a different language. (I love your shawl...is that Wingspan? No it's Hitchhiker. Oh, this? It was supposed to be a dress but I modified it to be a tunic. You can find it on Rav under "Pambe dress")
We'd been warned that there would be long lines for food, so Mom and I opted to eat right away. The place had everything for food....barbecue, greek, fancy, pasta, burgers, seafood, etc etc etc. What it also had that was kind of annoying was bees. It was an unusually warm day for October and they were out in full force.
After lunch it was time for SHOPPING!! There were so many vendors there I lost count. Mom and I brought home lovely treasures: buttons, notions, stitch markers....and Mom got some fabric of sheep knitting on black background to make a few project bags. And of course, there was the YARN. SO much yarn in one place! Chock full of yarny goodness! Gorgeous colorways in every weight. I practiced quite a bit of restraint by only bringing home four skeins of yarn. This one was my favorite:

I practiced quite a bit of restraint by only bringing home four skeins of yarn. This one was my favorite:
Madelinetosh Tosh merino light in "Jasper." Saw it across two tents and it "spoke to me." Green usually isn't my thing but I had to have it.
We also saw animals: I got to pet a beautiful sheep named Leanne, she was a doll. And they had a kids' area that was full of activities had we brought the boys, including a little zoo. There were lemurs and baby kangaroos. I'd never seen a kangaroo up close, and I can now say that our dog Joey is aptly named!
These guys posed for a photo.
Several hours later we piled back onto the bus for the ride back to Northampton and then an hour's ride back home from there. It was dark on the way home too, making the day feel surreal. And when we got home, Brian had cleaned the house and there was dinner for us on the table. It was wonderful!
All in all, a fantastic day. I wish I'd taken more photos. I'm so glad to have attended and I'd certainly do it again. Next time though, I'd like to get the Yarn Harlot to autograph one of my books. :) And see one of the Ravelry meetups. And maybe, just maybe, take a workshop.

Pretty Flower
Throughout the year I knit things for charity and store them in a big Rubbermaid box. Let's face it, I have more yarn than I could possibly use in a lifetime. (Insert your joke at my expense here.) So why not share my love of yarn with others!
This is a little improvised hat that I put together quickly over the weekend. I love the gray and magenta together, but it needed a little.....something. A quick perusal of Ravelry patterns for knitted flowers and I found what I was looking for. Add a few beads and VOILA! Haute couture toddler-wear. The best part: I didn't spend a dime on the materials for this hat. (Well, not this weekend, anyway.) The yarns and the beads were all stuff that I had on-hand. The flower is meant to be worn more on the side than at the front of the hat.

Being the mom of two boys, I adore making girly stuff when I get the chance. Some little girl is really going to like this.

Sunny October Weekends Are Good For.....
1. Knocking down greenhouses. My brother had an old, crappy greenhouse on his property that his house insurance company was not particularly fond of. So Brian, armed with tools and a desire to break some stuff (who doesn't love demo work??) headed to RI to take that sucker down. From what I'm told, it didn't take much.
2. Golf tournaments. Sunday was the company golf tournament, organized by Hubby! Again, I'm told it was a great success, with several golfers, a good lunch and great door prizes.
3. Slips and slides. First Sean fell in the family room, taking out the toy bins with him. He was fine, just stunned a bit. Then I tripped over the dog, as I was climbing the stairs into the house. Will examined my boo-boo knee and said "Yup. Just what I suspected. DOG."
4. Knitting, and yarn shopping too. To take advantage of this delightful, beauty of a day, we headed west to Northampton, so I could get some supplies for the birthday swap. I had so much fun doing this last year that I decided to do it this year too. And for 2012, I am also going to help moderate the birthday swap group on Ravelry. Anyway, back to knitting and yarn right now.....I brought home some fingering-weight for a swap item. And then of course I picked something for me, some red fingering weight to make a scarf for myself to go with my new black coat. And Will begged to pick out some yarn to make him a hat, so he chose kiwi green and white, requesting stripes or polka-dots. Stripes I can do. Polka dots, well.....that might be a challenge. I did want to do some colorwork though, other than stripes. So perhaps this might be the first? We'll see.
On the needles right now--halloween swap, baby blanket for Oldest Friend, and Ditto. Still, Ditto. I have about 1.5 inches left of this weird ribbing, and then I can bind it off. Then comes the button bands, but those look quick I am at that point where I am just so tired of looking at it, and I want it done! I really want to wear it to the New England Fiber Fest next month, so I guess I'd better get crackin'. Also, I finished the last Christmas gift for people outside of my house. I don't count blocking it as something that needs to be done in order to cross it off the list, that can come later.
5. Sean discovering crayons and how much he likes them. He likes them everywhere, on paper, on the dishwasher and especially on the kitchen wall under the table. That one is going to be a b#*ch to clean! We're already thinking re-paint the wall.
6. Overall, unseasonably gorgeous weather!
Hope everyone had a good weekend, and Happy Birthday to my "little" brother!

Sending out Birthday Surprises
I signed up at the beginning of the year on Ravelry for a Birthday Swap. The concept behind the swap is that everyone loves surprises for their birthday! Seriously, there's nothing like coming home and finding a package full of goodies like yarn and handmade items. Since my birthday is in December, I had a looong time to wait for my turn! In October I was assigned a partner who also is a December baby and we are supposed to swap birthday packages. The requirements included that we had to send one food treat, at least one skein of yarn and one handmade item. The rest of the package was up to us, after some "stalking" to find out your partner's likes, dislikes, favorite things, etc.
My package was sent to the Northern Maine Coast this week. Here is what my lovely Birthday Partner will be receiving:
-Tazo Chai Tea
-Hershey's Chocolate Covered Pretzels
-sm container Jelly Belly/Coldstone Jelly Beans
-one skein Stroll laceweight yarn in Ultramarine
-Yankee Candle ramekins
-Froggy stitch markers and row counter from Etsy
-two skeins of Specialty Alpaca sockweight yarn from the New England Fiber Festival (I'd call the color Peacock green) I have no idea which booth I bought this, but it was a farm in upstate NY that dyed and spun it)
-two scented pencils made from recycled newspapers
-"initial" stationery
And my favorite thing in the whole package....
Old Shale Lace Scarf (made by me!) in blue Jojoland Melody fingering yarn. This is the same yarn and pattern that Baby mangled on our way home from PA. LOVE IT!

Winter Sanity Swap
Recently I had signed up for a Winter Sanity Swap through Ravelry. Just a little holiday fun. The purpose of a Winter Sanity Swap is to give your partner a little piece of Winter Sanity. It's a knit/crochet kit that's designed for you to take it out when things start to get crazy and go awry and you soothe yourself back to some semblance of relaxed. (Or at least less frazzled) People were supposed to post answers to questions about patterns likes and dislikes, details about your holiday celebrations, and then you go and "stalk" your partner by reading their answers.
The Swap is now winding down and I've really enjoyed shopping for my partner. I'm now finished and ready to box it all up and ship to Arizona. Based on my "stalking" her posts, here's what I'm sending her:
--Three skeins of Jojoland Tonic yarn in what I would describe the color as Sonic Blue. (the same color as my last car, and I loved it!)
--A pack of three Boye aluminum crochet hooks
--a pack of tapestry needles
--a shawl pattern called "Walden." Despite it being Arizona, I've been there in December and i know it gets cold at night! I kept the yarn fiber light though, it's an acrylic/wool blend.
--Two snowflake ornaments, one blue and one silver.
--a package of Goldfish, themed "Twelve Days of Christmas. (Target find today! Might make a good stocking stuffer for a certain four-year old, and it's pretty cute)
--Lindt dark chocolate truffles
--Chai Tea
--Unicorn stitch markers
--and lastly, a fabric drawstring bag to store the project while she's working on it. It's a black background with lots of multicolored snowflakes. I can't take credit for it, it's another fabulous Etsy find.
Then, one night last week I came home to a box from Missouri sitting on my coffee table. It was MY winter sanity swap package! I was one of the first ones in the group to receive a package.....and what a nice one it is!
--Handmade crocheted project bag
--Handmade crocheted wrist warmers in the same variegated yarn
--Lindor White Chocolate Truffles
--Scented Pumpkin Candle
--Felted Christmas pin
--Handmade green and silver beaded stitch markers from Etsy. (Seriously, who doesn't love Etsy??)
--Christmas drink coasters
--Tapestry needle for darning those pesky ends in your project
--two sets of aluminum circular needles, size 7
--a pattern for the Laodice shawl, one that I have been coveting in my Ravelry queue to make for myself
--three skeins of Imagination hand-painted sock yarn in a colorway called "Evil Stepmother." SO soft and pretty!
To my swapper----thank you, thank you! To my swapee...Enjoy! (though I hope that you are not reading this)
Next up is the Birthday Swap!

Wordless Wednesday: Flash the Stash 2010
There's a thread going around on Ravelry that encourages you to take a photo of your yarn stash. Here's mine: it covers my entire dining room table.
Compared to some of the others that I've seen, this is nothing! What can I say, I love yarn!

Yarn Stashing=Danger Ahead!
I knew that I loved Ebay for a reason!
Ok...I was on Ebay today looking for something Winnie the Pooh for my nursery. I did find what I was looking for rather quickly, and then decided to have a wee bit of fun.
I had planned on making all sorts of handmade (mostly knitted) Christmas gifts for this past Christmas, and it was a major failure. I came close to finishing two different gifts, one of which I won't mention because I'm saving it as a first anniversary gift. (it was supposed to be a wedding gift, then a Christmas gift, now a first anniversary gift. Whatever!) Anyway, I had chosen a ball of blue sparkly mohair yarn from my yarn stash on Ravelry to make my aunt a one-skein scarf as a Christmas gift. One skein, my eye! On Christmas Eve I sat down to finish it, because y'know, there's no time like the present to finish something like that. And I was freaking out because I was running out of yarn. No way was I running out on Christmas Eve to find another skein! Not only that, I had bought this yarn a couple of years ago so there really is no chance of matching up dye lots. So last week, I was in Michael's with the guys and went looking for this particular yarn. No go. So just for fun, I typed in "Lionbrand Moonlight Mohair Glacier Bay" in Ebay's search engine. Voila! Lots of it, and for cheaper than I had originally paid! So now I have another skein in the mail to me, and I didn't have to venture all over God's Green Acre to find another skein!
So then I typed in "Noro Kureyon" and "Lamb's Pride" just to see what's out there. Wow!!! I had to physically restrain myself. I'm a "touch it before I buy it" kind of gal when it comes to yarn, so I'd never buy a yarn on Ebay that I wasn't already familiar with. But just knowing that there's a world of yarn on Ebay just clicks away....that's dangerous information! :) Luckily I can hold back.
I also got a couple of knitting books from the library the other day. One rule I have for myself is that I must check out a knitting book from the library first to make sure I reaaalllly have to have it, unless it's a gift. I got "Domiknitrix," "The Yarn Harlot" and "Knitgrrrl." I flipped through "Domiknitrix" on Friday morning over coffee in a little bit of alone time and I'm glad I didn't buy it. It did have some good tips but the patterns really aren't anything I'd ever make. "Knitgrrrl" is written more for teenage girls, but it had some great ideas, good online links for help AND I think I might have had a breakthrough on how to do seed stitch. I'm dying to make Stitch n Bitch's "Big Bad Baby Blanket" but every time I try to cast on and do a seed stitch all my stitches get tangled and it's a huge mess. I'm going to play with "Knitgrrrl" at my side with some yarn to see if I've figured it out in my head. Which brings me to the "Yarn Harlot" book. I heart this book, and I need to add it to the list of books that I need to own! This woman....her sense of humor alone is worth the book, especially with her comments about having a yarn stash!
Ahhh....I love knitting. :)
