My name is Michelle, and I knit. This is me, knitting. Well, it's not me, it's my blog. Yes, this is my blog. And I knit. I'm learning more every day. Well, not every day but most days. Oh, and I'm vegan. I like it that way.

Vegan Cook-along

Hey food types,
If you like to cook vegan food, maybe you'd like to cook-along?

Vegan Cook-along was started by fellow vegan and knitter, Carla. Yay for knitters! Yay for vegans! Yay for everyone!

(Obviously I'm feeling a lot better today)

Check out the details and get in on the action by clicking here.

I'd love to see you there...

I joined the cookalong but I don't think I can start until next week because we are leaving for Arizona on WEdnesday. I'll try to squeeze it in.; Sunday, June 25, 2006 9:01:00 PM
Michelle said...: Yes, do try if you can. But of course, starting whenever is cool, too! Next week, I'll be away, so I'm talking it on the road!

Re: Vegnic: it rained! So it was cancelled. Or "cancellatored," as was said on the vegnic thread. Very bummed, but we watched movies, made food, hung out, and still had a nice weekend.; Sunday, June 25, 2006 10:34:00 PM
vania said...: Sorry to hear that it was cancelled. Rain is supposed to be coming this way today. I am looking forward to this week's recipe, though i leave for the long weekend Thursday night! When wil you be here?; Monday, June 26, 2006 7:53:00 AM

Stacey said...: Ooops, I forgot about your trip - I had some time (gasp) and wanted to chat with you and I was calling constantly.

Anyhow, can I join in November when I'm back home or can I join now and wait until Nov to play? If I join now, but don't cook along will I get kicked out?; Sunday, July 02, 2006 1:42:00 PM

jess (of Get Sconed!) said...: This is really neat! I'm going to peek around for a while, but I think I'd be up for joining in the future if you folks are still taking new members.; Thursday, July 20, 2006 6:43:00 PM
Michelle said...: Of course! Join anytime! Just let me (or anyone else in the cookalong) know and I/they will send you an invite!; Thursday, July 20, 2006 10:20:00 PM

Knit Along

BAMBOO

Alchemy Bamboo. I would love to knit with this. All the colors look great, but I especially love the look of "Koi pond" and "She threw a brick."

Classic Elite Bamboo. So soft! I made "Branching Out" using 4 balls of citrine, and I am making the Vintage Knits Cardigan out of Cerise. I've got enough Bluebird for a shortsleeved sweater, and my sister just gifted me 4 more balls of Citrine.

Southwest Trading Company Bamboo. Nice earthy/woodsy feel, kind of like linen. I made a shawl out of 2 balls of fiesta. I have 3 balls of "azure" and 5 balls of "parrot." "Bougainvilla" or "Butter" call out to me next.

SOY SILK

Soy Silk Phoenix. I made a ridged ribbon scarf out of 2 balls of Chocolate. Soft and yummy like chocolate soymilk. I'd love to go for the pinks, purples, or reds, or perhaps something different like the turquoise?

Soy Silk Oasis. I love the soy silk phoenix yarn, so I'd love to try oasis. The "purplexed," "rose," "perfectly pink," actually all of it is exciting.

Soy Silk Infinity. I have one cone of this lace weight soy silk. I'd like to learn how to dye this stuff, or I might just keep it at its natural off white color. Like Edensoy.

COTTON AND COTTON BLENDS

Pakucho Organic Cotton. I love all the natural colors, but I lean toward my favorite foods -- Avocado and Chocolate!

Manos Del Uruguay Cotton Stria. The first day I bought yarn, I bought a hank of this, and I still love it. It's soft, all the colors are great, and it works up wavy and dreamy.

Blue Sky Cotton. Every color is great here -- the hot pink, the cumin and lemongrass (food), the orangey color... I'm making a big hat out of the pink, burgundy, and orange colors.

Blue Sky Organic Cotton. I LOVE the white organic cotton. I've made a headband and a babyhat, and I'd love to make more. The softest cotton ever.

Araucania Patagonia Nature Cotton There are so many colors here that I like.

Rowan Calmer One of the softest yarns ever. 75% Cotton/25% Microfiber. I've got enough light green to make a short sleeved sweater and some random balls of purple for legwarmers or socks!

Knitpicks Shine. A cotton/modal blend that is not only soft but really cheap!

Classic Elite Premiere A cotton/tencel blend. I ordered some from Webs to make a ruffle scarf, but I had to return it because it had an awful smell that I don't want to describe here. From what I gathered from the small amount of touching I allowed myself to do, it's soft. They were really good about returning it, and offered to send more but I didn't want. Bad associations.

Cascade Pima Tencel. I want to try this yarn soon. Great colors. I really like the tank pattern they feature with the yarn. Carrie made her "fad classic" in this, and I'd like to give that a go, too.

Cascade Fixation. Sock yarn! I have a huge list of the colors I like.

OTHER

Banana Silk. Yarn made from banana, who knew? I have 3 hanks of red and one of lovely pinks and purples, but I'm on the lookout for the perfect project for it all.

House of Hemp. Everything looks exciting here.

Louet Euroflax. One of my favorite store bought sweaters is made of 100% linen. I'd love to make a sweater out of this.
