Thursday is Yarn Day!
Sure sure, it was also the boyfriends birthday, but for me, Thursday is really yarn day. Funny you should ask why. It's the only day the closest LYS is open late!! So, it was the boyfriend's birthday, which was pretty cool too. He seems happy, and I'm happy, and that's good. And I got to go the the yarn store (where I didn't buy anything, since you asked) and of course, I got my first SP5 package!! It contained yummy goodness. Yeap, yummy goodness.
So, inside was some KnitPicks yarn (in Cape Cod, which I almost ordered just the other day) and books!! I *love* books. Oh my goodness, like seriously, I can't even begin. Brick Lane is one I've been wanting to read, and Ursula, Under too! The other book is one I'm not familiar with, but will hopefully read someday soon. I'm sadly still trying to chug through Michael Chabon's latest, this one seems so much less engaging than some of his other stuff, I couldn't help but think of the main character in Wonder Boys.. Anyway, I got my FAFSA filed, so maybe something will actually come of that this year..
I also swatched up the Cotton Ease for the Apricot Jacket, and got guage: First try, every time ladies. Speaking of size and guage, I uh, tinked the Crusoes. (*!?*) I know, I never tink, but really, I didn't like the pattern on the yarn, and well, it was tight on my leg, and since my Sockapaltwoza pal has about my foot size (read: giant), I decided these could go the way of the Buffalo. I'm looking for a new pattern now.. It's quite difficult when my sock pal has no preferences! I don't have any idea what to make her! I'm thinking actually of some cute ankle socks, to keep in the summer theme. Oh mighty Alison (who is actually hosting th Paltwoza) has a cute anklet pattern that I dig, perfect and summery! Other than that, still plugging away at the Azkaban. AZKABAN OF DOOM. (8 of 14 repeats done) If my coworker doesn't pee her pants when I give it to her, I will be sad. ^_^ Anyway, time to watch Naruto with the boyfriend. A big special OMGOODNESSTHANKYOU once again to my secret pal too. Seriously, I needed a pick me up today, between the package and yarn day, I couldn't have hoped for much else!
