I am not a secret anymore

At least not to my Crochetville Secret Pal, the one I was sending goodies to! Chelle left a comment on my blog that went like this..."Peekaboo teehee ;)" Can you believe it? Who told her?!!!

Oh well, so you've found me out, Chelle. The game is not over yet, though.

Today is WIP Wednesday. Well, I did have a snowflake in progress until a few minutes ago. Actually, it's not quite finished - I have to stiffen it! What do you use to stiffen your snowflakes, people? Glue? Sugar and water? What's the best way? I've got instructions to "place snowflake and stiffener in a plastic ziplock bag, work stiffener into snowflake, then let soak an hour. After an hour place it on a sheet of wax paper on a flat sheet of styrofoam and pin in shape." Sound right? This is my FIRST snowflake, guys, so save me some time. I'd love to hear about your first snowflake and how far you've come from there as far as hints and tips and what you do differently now than that first one. I especially want to hear from Julie, the Snowflake Queen (I've dubbed you!) Julie LOVES s, didn't you know?

That blue scarf I had on knitting needles (size 13 Clover Bamboo) has been frogged. Can you believe I'd dare do such a thing? Well, it was turning out pretty, but for some reason I was ending up with extra stitches. I mean I started out with 10 stitches and ended up with 15 before I frogged it. "Rippit! Rippit!" Those wooden 13's are the largest needles I have, but I really want something bigger (so I can see those stitches more easily) and aluminum or metal or whatever material that is. Not plastic and not wooden...well, I might try plastic. The yarn just doesn't slide over the wooden needles too well. So unless I get RAOK'd with bigger needles (did that sound as funny to ya'll as it sounded to me?), I'm going to be shopping for some real soon!

I am working on a scarf for my Crochetville Scarf Swap, but I am NOT posting any pictures of it here just in case the recipient reads my blog! She knows I'm the one making a scarf for her, so she might be scoping out my blog to see if there are any pics to get a peek at. Nope! Not here! She has some interesting color preferences, and though I wouldn't normally make something with the color I chose, I'm hoping she'll like it since it is one of her color preferences or close to it, I hope! But I'm not even going to say what color it is!

So for now, I guess that's the news from this Georgia girl! Oh, but let me just add...the weather here is GORGEOUS! Spring, c'mon down! Oh, I'm not rubbing it in, am I? Noone is having snow, are they? Well, I love snow, but I am so ready for sunshine and blue skies! And that's what we're having!
