Hi, my name is Laura and I knit...alot. To support my habit I have just started a hand painted yarn company, The Painted Sheep, and also work part time at agreat little yarn shop, Knit Picky. When I am not knitting, I am a full time student, a part time graduate student and dabble in other hobbies such as sewing and making lotions and soaps. To get in touch with me, email me atlbullins@gmail.com.
Want to know what I'm thinking about? Check out my blog!!

These are either long term projects that I am setting aside for a while (not forever, just until I have more time) or seasonal projects that I will bri back out when the weather turns cold. Several are projects that I am working on as Christmas presents so they don't need to be done for months and months.

"We live in a world of machines. Our world moves faster, bigger and better with every moment. Machines replace humans and often do our jobs better. When you are knitting socks and sweaters and scarves, you aren't just knitting. You are assigning value to human effort. You are holding back time. You are preserving the simple unchanging act of handwork." from At Knit's End by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
