Things have been crazy busy at work lately, and I've been spending my rare free time knitting or hanging out on Ravelry.  Since I post all of my projects and stuff on Ravelry, I tend to neglect the blog because I feel like I am repeating myself. 

I am trying to make room in my craft room.  Well, I want it to be a craft room.  Right now it is a yarn storage room.  This weekend I am taking action to clear out some of the yarn in order to make some work space in there, and I'm putting a lot of treasures up for sale on ebay.  If you are interested in checking them out, here is a link to the listings.  Many of them are at Buy It Now prices, and I will be posting some auctions this afternoon.  Some of the auction yarns fall into the "What was I thinking?" category.

On the stash acquisition front, here is the wonderful Prism Millie Topper kit that I ordered from Hanks in Tumbleweed:



This is the pattern:



I haven't started it yet because I want to lose weight and get down to a smaller size first.  Not that I have made any progress on that front, being tied to my desk for the past few weeks ...

What I have been working on is the Diamond Patch Sweater from Just One More Row patterns.  I'm using my favorite mercerized cotton, Schaefer Laurel:



It's about 75% done now.  I love the other summer top that I knit from this yarn.  This yarn is perfect for the Florida heat and humidity.
