This morning I was woken up by my mother in law at 10:30am.. I am not a morning person.. needles to say I was agrevated.. but thats okay because..

it ment I got up in time to go to an LYS I hadn't been to! This time I went to String Of Purls because the 3rd saturday of every month they have a "ask the expert" day for FREE! It's over at noon but because they knew I was driving 45 minutes to come visit them (I arrived at 11:58!) the women was nice enough to stay and talk with me for an hour! I found out you read patterns from right to left (!!) this I was not aware of.. could have been disasterous had I started Gerbera..

I purchased some Addi's (US6 circs) for Gerbera, some straights for Fitzgerald (US7) and DPN's for that muchroom hat I will be making DH (US4) along with a cute little toy:

They had Hauk Dale yarn (!!) and I really liked it, but I have to pick something washable for that other sweater. Besides, I should not be looking at more yarn! I got my SP3 person something I hope they like!

So I tried to do the Gerbera pattern with the YO's and the k2tog-bl and well it's just impossible when not in the round so I'll need to suck it up, cast on 200 st and see what happens.. but I got tired and went back to the Sirdar sweater.. which is always a fun and easy knit:

That's a rare thing right there. The cat rarley comes into the same room as me and the dog.. she's a strange one indeed. Cute tho! Yes that's my messy stash in the corner.
