Hee. My skein of Nonconformist yarn came in the mail today, and it's *so* pretty.... I have photos of it up in my Ravelry stash (http://www.ravelry.com/people/gblvr/stash/non-conformist), but the photos really don't do it justice -- the colors are so vibrant and varied, and it's v.v. soft.
YAY for stash enhancement!

Geeky Stitching Things
Needling More Than the Feminist Consciousness -- I'm sad to have missed this, but the picture at the top of the article is amazing....
Exhibit info at the Museum of Art and Design: Pricked: Extreme Embroidery
And, last but not least: Prince Caspian's shirt!

Oops, I did it again!
Took the monsters out for late lunch/early dinner, and stopped at Jo-Ann for embroidery floss for a project (75 skeins! OMG! And that's not all of it, since they didn't have three of the colors I need!), and lo, the novelty yarns were on sale for Memorial Day!
I know what you're thinking -- did she buy some, or was she virtuous?
The answer is yes, yes I did. But I was good, and only bought two different ones. Of course I bought 5 balls of *each*, but hey, who's counting?
(I'm not very good at resisting temptation. Sadly.)

Yarn
Going out for the day with A. is dangerous -- I either come home with a lot of yarn, or I send yarn home with her, or I do both. When I don't come home with yarn, it's with interesting art, or silk -- either made up as scarves and wraps, or lengths for sewing. Bad for my budget!
On Saturday, A. and I had wanted to go to the Kimono Show at the Japan Information and Culture Center, but it's only open M-F, so we went to Ornament as Art: Avant-Garde Jewelry (scroll down) at the Renwick, then over to Barracks Row for yarn at Stitch DC and dinner at the Belga Cafe. Yum.
After a quick stop in Dupont Circle so A. could buy v. expensive but completely adorable shoes (and where I valiantly resisted the call of these lovelies), we went home, where I spent a ridiculous amount of time surfing around the Ravelry site, and on LJ reading fic.
Sunday was spent being a bum, which means I have a ton of laundry to do today. Le sigh.

Well....
Looks like I'm going to start using this after all, since I don't want my other blog to show up over at Ravelry....
