		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been a flurry of finishing here at saffronknits&#8230; here&#8217;s one! I finished the elemental hat! It was a fun mindless knitting project. The yarn went from the stripey-ness to more barberpole at the top. Next time I make yarn like this, I&#8217;ll work to keep the stripey-ness throughout the whole yarn. I think I want to make another one!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There has been a major shift here at saffronknits. But, before I get to that, I want to you show the last yarn I finished. I had 4 ounces of &#8216;Cotton Candy&#8217; mini batts from Spincerely Yours I chain-plied this yarn, being very conscious about the amount of twist I was putting into it and I am very pleased with the results. I&#8217;d say this is a pretty woolen yarn as I spun this with a supported long draw. I<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=659">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember this yarn? [Alpaca with a Twist Big Baby (Mountain)] It became this: The Delores Park Cowl. My first cowl ever! I now see why they&#8217;ve become so popular. Simple, fun and functional (and NOT a neverending scarf!). It was intended as a Christmas present but life being what it is and me being who I am, I didn&#8217;t get it in the mail until the last week of January. I loved working with this yarn. What I remember most<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=486">[Read more]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finished this in mid-December and it was very well received as a Christmas gift. I really like how it came out. Gretel is a wonderfully written pattern and I learned a new cast-on (long-tail tubular cast on). I loved the cables and working with alpaca for the first time. aaaand&#8230;. I loved it so much, I just had to start another one:]]></description>

It answered practically all the questions I had when I was a beginner knitter. &#8230; about joining in the round &#8230;. purling the &#8216;easy way&#8217; &#8230; and knowing the difference between the &#8216;back&#8217; &#038; &#8216;front&#8217; of a stitch. and&#8230;&#8230;.

I so wanted to finish today. I most likely will &#8230; but I just needed to kvetch about it&#8230; Thanks for listening! ETA: I&#8217;m so disappointed!

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been looking at a lot of bloggers do retrospects about 2007. For me, I guess it would be that 2007 was my 2nd year of knitting (I learned to do cables and practiced double knitting). But the biggest surprise for me was the spinning. Never in a million years would I thought I would be creating my own yarn or fall in love with spinning fiber the way that I have. Nor would I have expected that spinning content<a class="more-link" href="http://www.saffronknits.net/?p=237">[Read more]</a>]]></description>
