Out with the old...

In with the new...

Sorry, this is as exciting as it gets around here these days. (Must get out of this boring funk.) Today I got rid of this horrid beast:

And got this glass top, convection oven beauty. I've never been so excited to bake!

(Please try to ignore the crap on my counters and toys on my floor. If I have to clean my house just to take a lousy picture you guys will never get to see anything!! :)

Have a great weekend & Happy Mother's Day to all of the fabulous moms that read this.

Recycling at it's best!

I've been at a strange impass with knitting lately. I'm at a point where I'm spending a lot of time on my projects and don't want to use cheap yarn and have bad results. But, I'm also too cheap to really spend a lot of money on good yarn. So I did a little recycling! I found this sweater at a thrift store for $3.

I used this tutorial to take it apart. Not a quick process by any means, but I ended up with this!

I wound the yarn on a board with two nails, three feet apart to measure the yardage, then twisted my skeins up all fancy like the yarn store. For $3 I ended up with about 650 yards of yarn. The yarn is a really soft acrylic, wool, angora blend. Now I just have to decide what to knit!!
