(EDIT: Wanted a new layout. Couldn't do it by myself. Thanks to my wonderful brother, he fixed all my problems :-) And made it look super cool.)
...my last post. Which means...that it's been 11 days since Kaley left :-( *sniff*
Now, mustn't dwell on the sad things...dwell on the happy things! (you know...wouldn't it be cute if it was happi, instead of happy? I just thought this, as I accidentally typed "happi"...instead of happy...I love over explaining things...).......(the "happi"? It...just reminded me of a tigamagotchi...doubt that's how you spell it, but yeah.)
Um. Ummmm. Ummmm. umumumumumum. I'm so brilliant. Typing, while sitting back in a chair, can prove sometimes problematic. Mostly because my pinky was all the time over the caps lock, and therefore made it look like I was shouting. Which I wasn't. Yes, I normally do that. I shout to the world that I AM BRILLIANT. Which is 1) false. and 2).....I wasn't shouting anyway.
I love being random
My nails are brown. Someone has said "ewwww.." to the color. Not ALL of them are brown...just most of them, lol. Both thumbs, pointer, and middle finger on my...(*holds up L with both hands.* uuuuuuuh. Right. Heh. Lol, just kidding, lol) right hand. have gold stripe. Man. did that before. Before, I said "gold stripes" which is wrong, because there's only....one stripe. So, then making sure that it was singular, said "have gold stripe" which is also incorrect....as all of you can see, I can imagine. Toe nails are blue. Dark blue. I love dark blue..it's good for the summer, on the nails, then anytime on toe nails. Pretty much awesome, lol.
I FINISHED TUBEY.
Ha...so there.
That's...not quite up-to-date picture. That was taken...yesterday....or...Tuesday. Maybe Monday. or maybe Sunday. I forget. lol. (feel free to call my Dory any time you like. I rather like it, and don't find it offensive in the least, lol. which some people either 1) think that I do, or 2) find it offensive if they were Dory themselves. Rabbit trail)
But NOW. It's got that dark stripe, a large dark stripe (it's actually dark purple, if you peoples remember correctly) on the bottom, and....5/6 rows of the main color. Then. IT'S CAST OFF. HAHAHAHAHAHHA.
Next on my list?
Ok. WELL. I got this awesome yarn. But NOT where you think I got it. Surpise, eh? Not Yarntopia. Not there. Definitely not Hobby Lobby. Haven't been there in forever to get yarn.
(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I must say this BECAUSE Joey just started picking out Life in Technicolor on the piano....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I lurv that song. X 1000)
No, no. Not the normal places. But I don't know what other places...that I go to...seeing that the only yarn stores that I might normall go to, (which one, I haven't been to at all)...there are only 2 of them. That. Did not make sense. Just scratch that paragraph....sentence...run-on sentence...thinger. That. thing. Uh. Yeah I'll stop now.
ANYWAY. To cut a long story short. My dad had to go to San Antonio (some, if not most, of you know this.), and brought us along for fun. My mom had the brilliant idea to FIND A KNITTING STORE. While we were there, of course. AND WE DID. AND IT WAS AWESOME. The yarn I got? IT SMELLS LIKE THE BEST GOOD YARN EVER. Pardon me, I wasn't shouting, that just...needed to be said in caps, lol.
In fact? We went to TWO knitting stores. Because, we drove to a little town, maybe an hour away from San Antonio, called Fredericksburg...the Peach town. EVERYTHING was about peaches....(see note below ***) anyway. The people in the SA knitting store told us about this store, so we went. And...lemme get their card...so I can look it up...and find a picture...so you all shall be greatly enraptured that you will be able to see this knitting store(s) that are so amazingly awesome. Good readers. You all are so kind to humor me, lol. In my...strangely weird rants...about nothing in particular...lol.
There it is. Yarnivore. The one in...SA. that the people were really kind. There was one lady, who worked there...with pink roots. Apparently, she was known for her pink hair, but she was letting it...go back...to whatever it was before the pinkness struck her. lol. This pink haired lady, had a daughter working there...who was going off to college. Oh. My. Word. Wouldn't it be AWESOME to get a job at a KNITTING STORE? that...for me, anyway...wouldn't be like..working at all. Plus, knitting up shop samples, oooooooooo. *bliss*. Anyway, the main store lady, who at recently...taken it over, her name was Tammy. And very nice.
Now, for "Stonehill Spinning. Ltd."
Seriously. Who could NOT refuse a knitting store, in a building that looked like a barn...type thing. that was full of yarn??
Actually, it wasn't JUST knitting. It was also, spinning. rug hooking...and crocheting.
OH, lol. it was hilarious. We went to Yarnivore...saw this normal family there...dad and brother sitting in chairs, looking bored out of their minds, and this mother and daughter looking at big hunky wool...for spinning purposes...(Yarnivore also did spinning...) thought nothing of them...until...
We saw them at the Stonehill Spinning. Ltd. Amazing. dad and brother, sitting there, bored our of their minds, mother and daughter looking for hunky wool. For spinning. The mother said...that both she, and her husband were postmen...people. and were traveling around for a conference (who knew that postmen have conferences to go to??) but had to be back before next week, because (they have 6 kids) one of her daughters...had a goat in the county fair, and had to be back to see it...in Pennsylvania. Looooooong way. And we thought Houston to Ponca was bad? Iiiigh.
and yeah. That really didn't cut a long story short. But kinda it did...seeing as I could have given you ALL the details of all the people I saw...but no. I won't bore you. Or annoy you. But, now to the real point of the post, to post my new yarn, and project.
Cherie Amor~ *drum roll please*
IS THAT NOT GORGEOUS or what?! One, for the girl's hair....lol. and two for the pattern itself, lol.
Moi yarn. IT SMELLS SO GOOD. Book people know this. Open up an old book, it smells good. Um, outdoors people...don't think gun people, but whatever. Something you love, that smells good..when it normally doesn't. Because it smells good? Will make it all the more fun to work with :-D
It smells good. It looks good. It feels good. IT'S PERFECT. OH MY WORD. I can't wait to cast it on :-D
I'll leave you now...now that you all have all that knitting to think about...and wish that you were a knitter. But I'm guessing most of you aren't, and don't. But oh well :-) Poor you.
