Retail Therapy
So I went to the doctor... nothing unexpected, but I did treat myself to a trip to a LYS afterwards. Nothing too exciting, but here's why I got:
That's 6 skeins of Manos Cotton Stria (on sale, no less! 50% off!), Lantern Moon needles (US5, initially for the cashmere scarf kit from eBay), and two balls of "Feeling," a 70% wool, 20% silk, 10% cashmere yarn which I am going to make into a hat for my dad's brother's exwife (grandmother of the recipient of the Elephant Vest). She needs a hat, as she lost all (most) of her hair, sadly, due to treatment for breast cancer.
I'm off to see "The Boy from Oz," after which I'll come home and knit... now, I have to decide, do I finish the sleeve, do I play with the hat yarn, or do I start the lace scarf? Decisions, decisions...
The lavendar colored yarn is really gorgeous. I may have to do some retail therapy when I get paid. And btw -- really nice of you to make a hat for your "dad's brother's exwife."
Also -- new address for me: http://bytesizemorsels.crimsonblog.com
