So much fiber, so little time: So how do you punctuate sputtering indignation?

So how do you punctuate sputtering indignation?

Against my better judgment, I channel-surfed to the Westminster broadcast. Not only have they tried to reproduce Joe Garagiola levels of stupidity by hiring Charlsie Cantey (the eejit from the Kentucky Derby broadcasts who is hard-pressed to recognize a horse's ass when it's in her face), but David Frei was actually promoting his Sex and the City role on the episode extolling piss-poor dog ownership. Waaaaah!

And yup, there's fiber activity going on - stripey socks are finished (no pic), another skein of Montadale is spun for a hat, and I've been eyeballing a coarser gray Montadale to spin for a blanket in a gray and overdyed (red?) check.

Hey, I kinda miss Joe Garagiola! You knew what you'd get -- silly comments about how cute the "little guys" were. If you haven't seen "Best in Show" you should check it out. They nail him perfectly.

Oh, I think Best in Show is why Joe's no longer doing commentary :) I love that movie!

Ok, I've actually listened to some of the commentary tonight and I have to say:
You're right. The commentator is an idiot. And he knows nothing/zip/zero/nada about dogs.
My favorite moment was when he mistook the beardie for an OES. And he said he *owned* an OES. Jeezopete.
At least Joe G. was cute.

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
