Here is some psychotic bunny fun on YouTube Ok real story, lulu overgrooms ella as well as takes out her neurotic anxious mind by nipping at her. Fast forward- its a sunday a week and a half ago and I'm pulling fur from ella's coat because its getting warmer and if I don't get some of the fur out it will mat up. I notice some of the pieces of fur have pink wet ends. But I keep going. Finally I find where its all coming from. And there is now a 2" round hole in the skin of the bunny. Did I mention its a sunday? Yeah, so I try to calm down because the bunny specialist wouldn't be in until monday anyway. So monday brings the trip to the vet, the shaving of the bun and the suturing of the wound with skin glue. And the vet said it is because the other one (lulu) must have bitten her and it abcessed and that is why her skin was coming off. Delightful, right? So I'm asking around about what to do with this nut job rabbit. Someone suggested a stuffed animal that she can overgroom and abuse instead of ella. Which worked, but sometimes she gets seriously angry at the hedgehog. Its kind of funny actually so I taped it. :-) Music: Quit My Day Job - Geoffrey C. Smith Sheep Marketing Ploy (The Ballad of Fenton) - Tom Smith Patterns: Stricken Sock Pattern By Cookie A. Yarns: Numma Numma from Allen (Indie Dyer Extrordinaire) Nutella, Boysenberry Preserves, Watermelon Pickle, Fig preserves, Mango Marmalade, - the list could go on it's all fantastic. On the needles: The Loopy Ewe Sock club socks Chevron Scarf in Numma Numma Grape Jam and Nutella - to go with the chevroned La Parisienne hat (should have been more Tam-ish, but it isn't...)

Here is this week's episode -I think it's a little more put together. We talk about Tim Gunn's Guide to style and how it's going to change what goes on the needles. We discuss what is going on on the needles, and I'm waiting by the mailbox for as we speak. Keep knitting! And now to see what I can do about fixing the other podcast (ugh) Why won't garage band make mp3s? Why?

I'm back, with a new website! www.yarndyenasty.com Yup, you heard it here first, I've started dying my own yarn, and can't wait for everyone to try them! Also, my current yarn obsessions Wollmeise - love it! Yarn Love - they have milled their own base yarn with merino, bamboo, and silk. All of these things are too gorgeous to be socks - they should be gloves, hats and mitteny goodness.
