New paint job!

I just got my Buell Blast painted and she looks so cute now! It is painted in a powder blue metallic with purple and blue butterflies. The work was done by East Coast Refinishing & Fiberglass in Manassas, VA.

I keep calling my motorcycle a "she".....but I should pick a name. Any suggestions?




Rosa's Buell Blast

Vogue Knitting Magazine Spring/Summer 2008

I just received my issue this week and fell in love with this sweater! I already have yarn for it but I'm going to be good and will finish Monkey and Gluttony first before I cast on.

Monkey socks!!

Here is my 2nd current project - Monkey by Cookie A. I adore her designs. Yarn is Shibui Sock Yarn in Orchid on size 1 us needles....2 socks on magic loop.

Gluttony Sock - Seven Deadly S(p)ins

On to the knitting! :) I currently have 2 projects that I am actively working on. Of course I have a bunch of ufo's that hopefully will get completed in the near future.

Gluttony socks from the Seven Deadly S(p)ins club purchased from woolgirl.com. 4 colors of Verve from the Unique sheep to knit into socks that gradually changes colors. I'm a big fan of 2 socks magic loop but I figure with the yarn changes, I might confuse myself too much and end up knitting with the wrong strands. And I'm glad I stuck to 1 sock magic loop because I did confuse myself a few times with changing the yarn strands.

Here is the start of gluttony sock #1. I am really loving the feel of this yarn!

Time to join the blogging world!

I balked for the longest time in creating a blog but I realized that I spent many hours every day reading everyone else's blog! So I figure, maybe they have something here. Every blog that I read.....the people are so creative!! Maybe I will get more of my knitting projects done knowing that I might possibly have viewers to keep me motivated!
