I am in love with something that came in the mail last week....
It is a scarf from a cool online shop called Lulette.
They have lots of neat pre-set designs, like mine (and you can choose the colors) or you can have your own message/phrase made into a scarf. Lovely!
Here is the default color combination for the "I Like Winter" scarf ^
I've also been really obsessed with the yarns of Etsy seller Folktale Fibers. I've always been really drawn to art-yarn, and now I can do something besides just spruce up packages with it.
Here's one of my favorites from her shop:
She doesn't have that much in the shop at the moment, but I think that she's planning to update soon.
The weekend is going very nicely and very quietly (I've been watching Louis Theroux's BBC documentaries on Youtube while I work on projects, and we're wrapping up Deadwood season 3 (sniff).
I hope Sunday is treating you well!

Ooh I love that scarf! Although right now, I don't like winter.
Deadwood is the shizz bomb, yo. I am always missing that show. And Al Swearengen. Right now I'm putting myself through the same situation with watching Carnivàle. HBO sucks.

Hi there! Been reading your blog for a few days, trying to get caught up on all the old posts. I'm loving it! Think you're great! By the way, if you like Aimee Bender you MUST read Kelly Link. Superb.

I love the scarf. Isn't it true that anything written in French looks instantly more charming and beautiful!

I so love that yarn!!!
I have got to learn to knit.

I love that you have an appreciation for interesting handspun yarn. I'd like to sell some of my own handspun in my etsy shop, but I am yet too busy with sewing.
That skein that you showed above is stunning.
Anna · February 11, 2008 at 06:19 PM
Ooh those scarves are so neat! That yarn is really pretty too. :-)
Amanda · February 11, 2008 at 06:24 PM
I am so inspired by your creativity! That scarf is absolutely adorable - thanks for sharing the link to the shop. I am now pining for the marie scarf. Also, isn't Louis Theroux very addictive...!

Oh, that's lovely. I've been wanting a Lulette scarf literally for years (Caeser, or I think therefore I am), but the college girl budget doesn't really allow for it. Ergo, I will stare at yours and lust.
