I’ve been trying to capture the color of this yarn for a couple of weeks now — and though I don’t think I’ve succeeded, I’m conceding. This will have to do. It’s Brooklyn Handspun Signature Superwash Merino in the color “Marigold.” Yowza.
All I did was donate to Claudia’s MS ride, and I won 480 yards of fingering weight yarn! Thank you Claudia! Congratulations on your successful ride!
That brings me to another donation/raffle prize opportunity. Purlewe is riding today in the American Cancer Society’s Bike-a-Thon. Won’t you go on over and click on her link to donate? I’m going to provide some incentive: a luscious skein or two of Sundara Sock Yarn will be added to her prize stash. If Anj can bike 69 miles, I can help out a little.
It won’t be Blue Grape Hyacinth yarn, though. That’s already on the needles. I finished the first sock a few minutes ago and cast on for the second. The rest of my knitting time today will be spent weaving in blanket ends. I promise.
The B’s are back! Dell shipped the keyboard overnight, so my fingers have been tripping the Light Fantastic across the snappy new keys since Friday afternoon. From now on, all typos are my own fault.
I’m taking deep breaths today, for tomorrow we begin Harry Potter Week. I already know it will feel more like Harry Potter Year, but them’s the breaks. Nobody’s forcing me to be a bookseller! If I survive, I’m sure I’ll have tales to tell.
Here’s a little suggestion for anyone who tends to talk on their cell phone in public: Nobody likes to hear your end of the conversation, especially when it consists of repeating, several times, “Are you hung over? You sound hung over. I’m in the Hamptons.” Now, I don’t know anyone who would do that, but someone must have known her, because she was talking to him/her on the phone…
