I want to give major props for Yeehaw Amy. I’m calling her yeehaw amy cause there’s too many of you on the internet named amy! Have to keep you all straight. Anyways this amy lives in the land of yeehaw (texas) and thanks to her uploading a video for the magic cast on..i am now able to actually start a toe up sock. Altho i have no picture for you because i’m waiting for smaller 2.75mm needles to arrive from knit picks to re-cast on for it. So thank you Amy! You totally rock. And i suck because i haven’t sent out your package yet, SAD FACE. :(

Second Amy. Y’all familiar with Amy of Amyville Amy? I’ve been enamoured by her talent for all things cute and tiny and made of clay for what seems like years now. Despite the fact that she’s a Boilermaker (i let that slide) she’s always up to something that ends up beyond rad. (yes i still say rad) Every once in a while i receive a rad box in the mail from her and a few months later i return the favor. I find this type of swapping to be very fun. She has one upped herself this time. She sent me a little orange package with a special little Orange friend. Meet Clementine. I’ve been alling her Clemmie.



And she also sent these



Do you remember friendship pins? I think just about anyone over the age of 30 should. I promptly put them on my new and nekkid chucks



Does anyone remember if you are supposed to wear them any particular shoe right or left? Or if it doesn’t matter? I think i am going to make some of these up and throw them in the packages i have left to send out, simply for no other reason than they are fun. My sister even took one to put on her work shoes.

Third Amy. Amy is of purplepinkandorange fame. I saw her for the july 3rd city of chicago fireworks, and taste of chicago. When i arrived back from eating my Eli’s cheesecake i found her and a little present on my totebag. She knows the way to a girls heart is with chicken poop (and other handmade lip balms)


She also made me a pretty necklace in my favorite color, what else but orange.


I love it very much. I have been wearing it non-stop since she gave it to me. I think that takes care of all THREE Amy’s. Thank you to each and every one of you.

Now 2 quick etsy posts of love
my love for meg of twisted yarn never ceases. I didn’t get any of the collaboration yarn but i did get some Giles and Sherwood. I also got a mini skein of a mystery color. I suppose i should ask her what it is. I can never get enough of her yarn and am very proud to have her as a collaborator. Her use of color and blending is amazing. You should watch cause she’s updating today.


Yes i make bags, but when Lesa brought hers to our knit night i promptly went to White Willow’s shop and ordered one for myself. I love anything that is Mexican Folk Art inspired especially Luchadores and Day of the Day imagery. This bag is great and is holding my green sock.


I am awaiting some stitch markers from Wee Ones of the Piddleloop Hounds! I told her no hurray ont hem tho so i will post them when i hear they are ready! yay!
Next i wanted to pass on a few things i’ve tried recently and liked. Product reviews if you will.


On the left: Angels on Bare Skin by Lush...Middle: Trader Joes Cream Shave in honey mango.....Right: Dream Cream Lotion by Lush
I used to date Shawn who lived in Canada for a very long time. When we’d go to Toronto I’d go into Lush. I used to get their wake up shower gel that smelled like citrus and this clay wash called amgels on bare skin. I still love this stuff and now you can buy lush online and in the States. I don’t use a lot of LUsh’s stuff but i do like a few things. The Trader Joe’s cream shave is EXCELLENT.The honey smells so good, leaves my legs soft as a baby’s butt, and doesn’t test on animals. Give them a try someday.

I’m going with Nat to The Pitchfork Music Fest this whole weekend. Starting Friday night i’ll see sonic youth play their whole daydream nation album. I’ll see de la soul, iron and wine, and other bands i can’t wait to see all weekend long. I hope y’all have a good weekend, so i will leave you with some nephew and basset hound shots of Lucy dog. We were hanging in the grass today since it was so cool out.
