Look what I got!! Jill
Look what I got!!
Jill sent me Polar Bears! A keychain with a tiny dangly polar bear and a cute fridge magnet! Aren't they gorgeous?? :)
She also sent magazines again. I think her reviews a few days ago were pretty accurate!
I went on a bus shopping trip yesterday with Em's dance studio. Everyone jumps on a bus, and you get taken around to bunches of Outlet stores and stuff. I didn't buy much, however we went to a place called the "Christmas Cave". They have everything you need to decorate your house inside and out for christmas. They had a metre long paper mache Polar Bear. I was sorely tempted, let me tell you. But it was $70, and we aren't even going to be home for Christmas this year, so I left him there.
I think I regret it.
School went back today, can you hear me yelling out "Yay!"? ;)
So I got no knitting or anything done today. Instead I caught up on some housework, shopped, ran errands and got all those things done that get neglected when the kids are about.
I did manage to add to my stash. I saw Norma's Plain Vanilla, and knew that I had to have it. So off I went to Elann. I put the pattern in my cart, and then decided that it's not really worth it to pay all that postage just for a pattern is it? If you're going to order something from overseas, you really should make it worth your while. (Justification should be my middle name!)
So I ordered some Plymouth Cottrica in Crushed Raspberry. At $1.48 per skein, I could hardly pass it up, could I?
Must make room for more yarn.
Now I'm off to watch the second half of The 4400. And knit. :)
Weehee for the neckdown! I just came from Julia's Moth Heaven, and see that she's doing one, too. Hers is a bulky v-neck, I think. You sound like you got yourself some BARGAIN yarn, too. How COULD you not, indeed!
