A Victim Of Craft Insanity
I'm a craft fanatic! I knit, I make jewelry. I customize dolls. I'll do almost anything crafty that involves fabric, fiber, paint, glitter, glue, and whatever cool stuff I can find at the local craft stores. I go crazy buying craft supplies and experimenting with them and occasionally I even manage to sell a thing or two. Right now I'm totally obsessed with knitting. So much so that my old enemy Tennis Elbow is rearing its ugly head. I've bought about a million dollars worth of yarn lately and am knitting like a fiend. I'm not a particularly experienced knitter just yet, so it's mostly triangle shawls right now, but I'm slowly increasing my repertoire of skills. So in case you haven't figured it out yet, I'll be posting all my projects on here.

My Real Dog, Taz
The dog dressed like a lion below the header isn't my dog, the Pomeranian above is. My Taz. I'm not a good enough knitter to make the lion costume in the pic yet, but I'd like to make it for him someday, though he looks pretty much like a lion already, he hardly needs the costume! I did just buy him a cute jester's collar. I haven't received it yet. I got if from eBay. I'll put up a pic when it gets here.

Oops! I Did It Again.




I bought more yarn. Got lost in the thrill. Oh Baby Baby. . .

The yarn on the left is one of many lovely hand-dyed yarns by Yarntopia Treasures, an eBay shop. I bought a ton of it. It's reasonably priced. It arrived today, and it's lovely. I can't wait to work with it.

The yarn on the right is from Yarn Paradise (or Yarn Paradise on eBay). They have an internet store and they also sell on eBay. This particular yarn I got in a huge lot package of 40 balls for $40! They had dozens of such offers. Their shipping is high because it comes from Europe, but it still ends up being cheaper most of the time. The first time I bought from them, I bought over 100 balls of yarn and with the shipping, it was about $250, so it was still only about $2.50 per ball, which is quite competitive, and they have some awesome yarns. I've found the quality to be excellent so far, and I've bought a lot from them. They ship super fast. Even coming from overseas, I usually have my order in about 5 days.

Good thing I sniff out bargains. A person could go broke buying this stuff. If only I could knit as fast as I can buy the stuff. Sigh.
