Contest winner

Yippee! I won this yarny goodness prize from the Dramatic Knits podcast! Woohoo!

WIP: Percy Jackson Sock

Recently, my DS (8 years old) wanted to watch the movie Percy Jackson & The Lightening Thief for family movie night.  We all really enjoyed the movie, and I was even more excited to hear the movie was adapted from a book series.  My DS had not read the book yet, and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to prove to him that the book is ALWAYS better than the movie.

One day when I was surfing Etsy, I stumbled upon Storied Yarns. The names of yarns correspond to characters in books.  I super excited to see Jess had a Percy Jackson colorway. I knew that DS would love socks in the Percy Jackson Colorway.

He is super excited, and he wants me to finish ASAP.  This past weekend, we went to BN to pick up the first book in the series.  I think I might challenge him to see if he can finish the book before I finish his pair of socks!

Resurrection!

Well, I am back!  The blog is back!  It's more of a way to keep track of my own projects, etc.
Lately, I have been watching MANY podcasters who state that they started podcasting to keep track of their knitting.  I just don't have the time to podcast, nor am I that interesting!  So here goes....The Sunsetknitter blog is here AGAIN!
What have I been up to?  Well, I've been knitting and spinning.  The mojo is back! I recently bought a used ladybug spinning wheel, and the whole spinning thing has clicked!  If you were a reader of my blog before, you might remember that I had a ladybug, but I sold it to buy a new camera.  I had serious wheel envy watching all the video podcasters.  So I am knitting and spinning fool!
Here is a picture of  cowl I made with my handspun!
