Knitting Excitement
Lots of exciting things happened in my knitting world today!
First off I noticed that Omly tagged/mentioned me as part of her "You Make My Day Award" post. I *am* going to do this too, but I need some time to think and I already have a full slate for today. So off we go:
I got my first SP package today for Knittyboard SP10. It has actually been sitting at the post office for a few days while I worked out a time to go pick it up when they were open.
I got a cool Day/Night journal which has pages going both ways (you have to flip the book over for day or night) which is a very neat idea. I also got some green tea, some Great Adirondack sock yarn, and some very cool stitch markers!
They're especially great because they're the ones you can clasp on a stitch to mark for things like cable rounds and such - I always need more of those. :) Thank you Starlight Fairy!!!
Tonight I went out to knit with some of my lovely knitting buddies and stopped by Magpie beforehand and couldn't resist this shirt:
I'll admit I also got some freakshow stationary. But no yarn! See, I'm being (kind of) good!
I worked on the BFF socks for Cathy and wanted her approval every time I did a cable twist round. I kept holding the socks towards her making little "eee" noises until she commented on their amazing beauty. I don't know why, but I'm really excited about these socks.
And when I picked up my SP package this morning I also got the first one from the Neighborhood Fiber Co. Sock Club!
I was really excited about this one because I've never tried the yarn and I'm in luck because the first package is blues - my favorite!

What lovely goodies! I wish I got more mail goodies...
I always love to see what you're listening to, you and I have such similar musical taste. TOOL and Snow Patrol rock my face off!
So glad the package made it! Enjoy and the stitch markers, if you don't have a nickel allergy, can be worn as earrings too.
Anything in particular you've had your eye on lately? I'm putting together your next bunch of lovelies as we speak!
love magpie. Love that shirt. My family got me the lobster shirt from there, which I found pretty funny too... You must love your mailman, always bringing goodies!
