Of Heath and yarn and baby things. . .

I just finished a Heath-Bar-Caramel-Sweet-Cream-in-a-Waffle-cone and was it ever good! Usually ice cream's not my thing and up until about 5 minutes before we left I was thinking pie but then. . . I love Heath more than pie.

I've been hanging out at Ravelry more than anywhere else lately. Yeah, its as good as everyone's been saying. I can't wait until everything is done.

I'm still chugging away at my Sockapalooza socks. I'm almost to the heel on the second one. I don't know, I guess I'm just kinda bored with the pattern. I still really like the look of it though.

I started a Trellis for a lovely couple in our church about to issue their first child. I picked Tatamy Tweed in a lovely lime color so it would be unisex. Now that I'm knitting with it, I see that it has a lot more fuchsia flecks in than I would have liked. Dan say it looks okay, so I'll keep going. If its too girly they can save it for their next one :)

There is a SALE at my favorite yarn store! They didn't advertise so I thought I'd save them some trouble. YEAH! 25-40% off everything(except their own brand)



I bought some sock yarn for Dan(Paton's Kroy)

And the greatest news of all time?

I can finish my mom's sweater.
I went to the Fantasy Naturale shelf and they didn't have any color that would match the blue at all. And of course not the actual color I was looking for. I called Mom and asked her if she'd like it another color. I trudged up to the counter and purchased 6 skeins in beige(ho hum) I told the lady my sad story of the sad sweater with not enough yarn. Then, get this, she pulls out two skeins of the exact yarn I needed!!! She has set them aside for herself but she figured my need was greater than her own! I returned the beige and emerged triumphant from the GREATEST YARN STORE ON EARTH. Incidentally, they'll be renovating in a few months so they'll be closed for a while :(
I was so happy to see today too, that Auntie Saar has found her way back to blogland. Its not a knitting blog but its nice to read what she has to say :)

Just a quick update on what's happening here!

I took a break from the Sockapalooza sock, for this week, to work on the Josephine top from the IK. Does that yarn look familiar? That's because it is. Knitting is fun. That's my new knitting motto.(Remind me of that around Christmas, please) Vogue #10= not fun. At.All. I'd really like to have a little heart to heart with that designer.

Josephine has a deadline of Sunday, June 10. Yup, this Sunday. We're having a choir program in the evening and the theme is rivers and, well, its the perfect color. I'm almost to the arm holes in the back. *Cross* your fingers.

My deadline is further hampered by my invite to Ravelry. It is so.much.fun. I had no idea there were knitters in my neck of the woods.(I guess I don't get out much, knittingwise).

On the otherhand, I discovered Bloglines so my blog reading time is cut in half. I'm a little delayed technologically, what can I say?

Off to add some knitting projects to my "queue" YEAH!
