distractible
18 November 2006For a change, I thought today we should go out for a bit, eat some KFC, breathe some of that “fresh air” I keep hearing about, and uh, oh yeah, maybe see a more local LYS. Way down on the list of priorities, that last.
The LYS was his idea, not mine. If you mean that he mentioned the word “LYS” before I did. All I said was KFC. So.
This is all totally true.
That I wanted to go to a LYS too is irrelevant. Besides the point, really.
(Minion: Not to mention I only mentioned a LYS trip because I figured she wanted one… But that’s gotta be beside the point, right?)
RIGHT!
There just happened to be one down the block from the KFC as fate would have it. I’m really quite amazed the minion wasn’t aware of its lofty, heady, small presence already, given he goes past this little pearl of wonderfulness so often.
(Minion: Well, yeah. I’d been past the store once. Well, at least as far as my pre-yarn consciousness allows me to recall.)
Anyway. He bought yarn! Needles, too!! See!
SO TOTALLY A KNITTER. Ahem.
This is another hat, and is his first gift knit. (Me crying: It’s not for me! Waaaaaaaaaaa. And stuff.)
(Now he’s glaring at me. WHAT.)
I might have gotten a little bit myself. Just the one ball. See?
It’s a 100 g yarn cake of delicious sportweight yarn from Claudia Handpainted. This stuff was called Caribbean. Tiphanie will understand why the name caught my eye. Sorry! It’s not for you!
I might have had a little spot of knitting ADD myself. Minion said if I wanted to, I should! That means it’s his fault, right?
(Minion: Now wait just a d&*# minute. I said she could if SHE WANTED TO. I didn’t tell her to. Not my fault!)
(Hairpats poor minion.)
One thing though, the pooling is decidedly very weird. What’s going on here? What will happen next? Only thing for sure is that there’s no way I’m gonna rip it… I’m perplexed but definitely curious to see what’ll happen next with the poooooooooooooling. I’m easily entertained. I’m OK with this.
I’m pretty sure we won’t be going to any LYSes tomorrow, and I’m okay with this. Well, ok, ok, my WALLET is okay with this. Me? I’ll hold the Claudia close to me.
And try not to make the minion rip out his hat. Again.
Mmmm, that pooling is really nice. I like the variations in the tones. Will be grand, for sure.
Hehe – that is beautiful yarn
It sounds like you’re both having a great time!! Woot woot!
Pooooooooooooooooooooling. Love it. Oh! I am starting the gusset increases on my second LOUD stripey sock. I have the first one just past the heel, but haven’t knit the cuff. I was insane when I wound off the yarn for dyeing and it’s going to be tight… I’m knitting one sock from each end of the ball, so I can use up every inch of yarn! Oh! The drama! Oh!
Mm. Love the pooling. Looks like an island with ocean. Fascinating. You can wear them when watching Lost, heh.
