Hi all, its been a while since i've popped in here, and I think I can blame school for that.
I'm only taking one class, but somehow this has managed to entirely screw me up in terms of what i can get done. The class is a good one, but Its been so long since i've been in a class that requires a paper that I have no memory of how to write one.
Other things occupying my mind..
Garbage. Yes, really, Garbage. First I got a sanitation violation re: garbage on my property. Why? because "I" called to complain that the city had left garbabge on my property. I got ticketed on my own complaint. the nerve.
There is more to this story but I don't want to live it right now :)
I have a camera full of pictures i've been meaning to post and i'll get to them, i will but for now let me fill you in on the knitting life...
Most recently I went to Rhinebeck with Karen who was kind enough to pick us all up at the crack of dawn (we left around 5:30 from my house, I got up at 4:15. I usually go to sleep at 4:15
Tamara who was the first person picked up, and Val who made me buy yarn :)
I exercised restraint for most of the day, picking up only some Socks that Rock (in Farmhouse, and Downpour - medium weight, and Lagoon in lightweight) a purchase made possible by an 8:30 arrival time :) They were sold out very quickly.
Purchase two was the Tongue River Farm Sock Collection.
I walked around for much of the rest of they day before going back to where i started and picking up roughly 2000 yards of Brooks Farm's Harmony in an exquisite blue-purple (pictures soon).
I'm getting ready to do my first sweater. I could use the Harmony , but i may save it until i've tried and ruined my first attempt ;) I'm thinkingof the Kimono Styled Sweater from Knitpicks since the one I've seen was just gorgeous...
I'm open to suggestion tho..

Any questions you have about the Kimono sweater, ask away. My email is listed on my blog; email any time. It's a perfect first sweater, I think. Can't wait to see yours!
YAY you're back!! I had a ball hanging with you.. You're in the same borough and yet I swear it's like you're thousands of miles away :) 2000 yards? How'd I miss that? or is it just a really big skein!!!
