i got my account up and running at ravelry and am showing off pics of my recent projects. i finished the shawl and the cap but still have my socks, another hat and odds and ends left.
here's my profile:

blogspot's being a dick about me posting websites (see previous post) so i guess if i want anyone to see something, i have to include the address in the body of the post. sorry if you can't click it.
here's a pic that can't make ravelry - i took a picture of my stash, all color-coded in individual sweater bags. i didn't know that i have far less stash than i thought.
all these bags are crammed in a target cedar chest about the size of a toy box. of course this doesn't include the 2 (envelope sized) boxes of sock yarn, nor the plastic garbage bin of peaches and cream cotton, nor the basket of fun fur/novelty yarns, nor the odd baskets with leftovers.
i also had a milk crate full of dreaded acrylic, and 2 shopping bags full of it up in the attic (leftover from hubby's dalliance with the loom weaver) and since i was sick of looking at it, i donated it to my knitting group at church. i have enough yarn there to make a few lap throws. i even threw in some yarn that i bought at ames when it was going out of business. pale green baby yarn and seafoam boucle that i was going to use in baby blankets. i felt bad giving that up but seriously, i'm not going to use it. my "baby" is 4 years old, and if we have another one, i'll make a blanket out of superwash wool. i'm such a yarn snob. i used to think the seafoam yarn was beautiful. compared to the yarn i like to work with, it looks like matted green yak hair. it will be put to better use making the church afghans. and my chi feels better for it too.
i should take a picture of my stash book. it's a moleskein book where i paste the yarn labels, which notes on where i bought the yarn, when i bought it, and for whom it's for. the book's bursting at the seams, yet it's not full yet. i also have another moleskein book, waiting to become volume 2.
after reading this post, i look so ANAL RETENTIVE.
poor hubby. last night he took the boy xmas shopping. hubby wanted to surprise me by getting me something that i wasn't expecting (yeah, those hints on the carnivale dvds were real subtle). so hubby went to hot topics and got me a ramones shirt. however, it was white, with the presidential logo in black. WRONG WRONG WRONG. SO WRONG. so he has to return it tonight. the only other ramone's shirt was black but with a picture of the band over the presidential logo. ALSO SO WRONG. i don't NEED a ramone's shirt. like where am i gonna wear it? yeah, like i don't get enough raised eyebrows when i pick up my kid at school in yoga clothes. wear a ramone's shirt and i might as well banish the boy to the realms with the punkers. not that there's anything wrong with that.
